I've got a Shakespeare Team Extreme LDC 18ft FS Rod and it casts for miles with a simple overhead lob. Only FS rod I've got so I can't really compare it against any others, in fact our lass got it for my birthday a few years ago as a surprise, not a rod I would have bought by choice but it has it's uses none the less and the build quality is really good.
One tip I would say is to stick to 125g weights max and small baits with these long rods despite what it might say on the blank as loads of them have been smashed while belting out a heavier lead and a big bait.
Cheers for the info lads....better start saving my coppers £220 rrp for a Century BB

Tony,
Depending on what shift I'm on I often go casting down the Tyne, you're welcome to come and have a go with my BlackBird to see what you think of it.
It's always nice to try a rod before you splash out with the cash.
Regards Ian.
