have tried i once jim with a buddy of mines 13ft 9 wt. found it very cumbersome, their not the best balanced rod in the world and because of this i found line control pretty awkward. while they did allow me to shoot line with less effort in the grand scale of things there was no real advantage over my 9ft 9wt. also it was rather windy the day i used it and the length was counterproductive as it caught the wind more than a shorter, slimmer rod...
