I am an avid flipper and love to hold my broomstick in hand. Recently, I have watched Randall Tharp constantly and he tends to hold his rods with the reel at chest level. Does this achieve any significant advantage in feel or leverage? I typically hold my rod with the reel slightly above my hips with the butt of the rod in my gut.

I have caught a bunch of fish in the ijams quarry and on the river in the mouth of the third creek. Haven't been in awhile though.
