yeah I don’t I need It. I just want It lol

Any 7 to 7’3” rods rated for 2.5oz?

I’m actually not seeing many at all in the specs I’m looking for. That’s why I was looking for the help on here. I currently have a 6’8” pitching rod rated to an ounce, a 6’11” pitching rod rated to 2 ounces, multiple 7’ pitching rods rated to an ounce, a 7’2” pitching rod rated to 1.2 ounces, and a 7’4” pitching rod rated to 2 ounces. That’s why I’m looking for a 7’6”-7’9” pitching/flipping rod rated to 2.5 ounces. Dobyns is the only one I see so far.

I don’t think that Rod is rated for over 2oz or long enough.

Just ordered a Lew’s P/F reel that I’m going to spool up with 25lb fluoro. I want a super strong, sensitive rod that’s still lightweight to put It on. I like the specs of the Dobyns Champion XP 766Flip a lot. 7’6”, rated to 2.5 oz, and I have other Champions so I know they are not broomsticks. Before I buy that one, wanted to see what else is out there with similar specs. 7’6” to 7’9” max. Rated for over 2 oz. Anything I should look at?

Ugh I hate this thread.

I was in the Navy out of high school then worked in the private sector while getting my degrees (BS and MBA). Then I became a police officer almost 7 years ago. I’m sure those reels will be fine.

2-2.5 is about max for me on a 1 day trip.

Agree. Or for like $40 over your budget a Dobyns XP 684c.

Zoom. Because they are $2.99 and all I’ve ever used.

Yeah I’m canceling.

Yeah if that’s the case I’ll return mine. I setup store pickup and It said it’ll be ready 5/10. It’s still not ready for pick up. I went in yesterday to ask them and they said it’s getting shipped to them and not ready yet. Yet there was multiple in the glass case in the fishing section ?‍♂️

Imo neither is good for that. Both fish on the lower end of their ratings and the perfect pitch is only rated to 1.2 oz anyway. Bump up to a 6 power Dobyns.

Absolutely not unethical. Fish away.

A weekend getaway in the outdoors for someone who doesn’t enjoy It and only goes because you want to does not sound like a fun weekend. My advice…you stick to fishing, she sticks to her hobby, and you all find something you LOVE to do together for weekend getaways.

Put a jig on my flipping stick and go a little deeper. That would be water in the 50s here. If still in the 40s all I would have is jerkbait, a-rig, drop shot.

I have everything in my boat but if I was limited on what I could bring I would somehow get the water temperature and go from there. This time of year here It would be a flipping stick, squarebill, white chatterbait, spinnerbait. That’s about It. Oh and weightless senko always.

Mine will be my only current Lews. I’ll probably just put some 50lb Braid on It and put It away for if I ever need a reel ready to go for heavy cover.

@treble hook thanks. Just purchased one. What do you plan to use yours for?

Easy. JDM Metanium, Bantam, or Zillion. Take your pick for about $270 max. Then spend the rest on baits and line.

@volzfan59 thank you! Super excited but nervous for what the future holds. 4 years of part time law school while trying to make It work with a full time work schedule is going to be tough. I’ve always been just kind of a jump in and see what happens kinda guy though.

No he’s not supposed to be on the couch ?

15000 people a day drive by my house in real life, I don’t care if a picture of It is blurred. Same reason I don’t blur out license plates in photos. I don’t even know what the point of that is.

Navy, oil field, law enforcement…yep I cuss. Also have a BS, an MBA, and just got accepted to law school. So i don’t buy the weak mind/lack of intelligence theory. I know when to not use profanity though.
