Good condo
I have a emblem pro matched with the surf sensor 12ft rod. Gets good distance to with a 4oz rigs, metals and poppers. Rod will cost you just over 300 bucks
Hope this helps
Happy fishing

ive got the 12 ft but id go the 13ft for the extra casting weight, theres a sea jigger for $200 in the for sale section, ive held them they feel nice but never used one, possibly there are more for lures tho?

I have the Sensor
I have the Sensor 10ft(Awesome Rods the Sensor range!) now matched with an Emcast 4500, but was for a little while running my Emblem on it. Worked ok for just throwing lure around but the Emblem did seem a bit bulky for the 10ft. I think it would work great on the 13ft Sensor if you want to lob bigger baits/sinkers out for Mulla/Sharks. Guess it depends how big you are talking about throwing out and how far you aim to get it out?
If you want it as a dedicated lure rod then the 12ft Sensor would do.
More pricey but there is also the Daiwa Emblem Rods. Made for the Embelm reels. Though they seem to me to be a more dedicated Lure/Spinning rod, rather than a big bait chucker.
