Are shorter fishing rods more sensitive?

Re: shorter rods = more sensitive? In general, if most everything else is fairly equal, longer rods are going to be more sensitive. By giving the fish a longer lever he will move farther, fight harder and it will require more effort on your part to arrest his movements.

Do 2 piece rods have less sensitivity?
