n8cas4 Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Looking for a lighter rod for flipping and pitching. I really like my 7'11" crucial, but it's weighs too much for me ( my arm kills at the end of the day ). Any suggestions? Quote
canyouheminow Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 try the duckett micro magic rods. the 7' 6" or 7' 10" would be perfect! I have yet to see a lighter brand of rods! Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted September 7, 2012 Super User Posted September 7, 2012 I use a Rage rod from St.Croix. super light and sensitive. I use the 7'1 MH fast. They make a couple bigger if you're looking for more length or power. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 7, 2012 Super User Posted September 7, 2012 For 3/8 oz and smaller stuff I use my Berkely Shock rod 7' MH. For larger I use my 7'11" Heavy Veritas. Both are super light. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Phenix Recon 764 or Powell Endurance line of rods would suite you perfectly Quote
central.PA.bass Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I would look into the Powell Max or Endurance series... Tough and light.... And under your budget... The Abu Veritas is a nice light rod as well Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 The Quantum Superlite 7'11" telescopic rod at 6.2 oz. and $88 including shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/QUANTUM-SUPERLITE-PT-QTC7117F-711-HEAVY-BAITCAST-ROD-/310410592915?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4845e9c293 Quote
n8cas4 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 Awesome... Thanks for the replies. Anyone use a cumara for flip n pitch 1/2 - 1oz ? Quote
jkarol24 Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 x3 on the Powells, very good rods. I also enjoy my Veritas rods as well, very nice Quote
Mike__D Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 76 or 711 veritas would be my choice for a light weight flipping rod. Mike D Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 8, 2012 Super User Posted September 8, 2012 76 or 711 veritas would be my choice for a light weight flipping rod. Mike D I went with the 7'11" heavy. It had more backbone that the 7'6". Even the 7'3" had more backbone Quote
Megastink Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Powell Max 7'3" H Fast action flipping stick. I own one. It's very light and ultimately perfect. Quote
Jiggen Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I guess i am the only one that owns Pinnacle Perfecta rods.and I own almost every other. For the money I don't think you can buy a better rod. It is as good as some of my Loomis rods. Don't buy without trying different brands yourself. Not all rods fit everyone. Quote
6lb_Spot_Hunter Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 *** just came out with a few bass rods. i own a few of the ***'s and they are on of the best rods i've ever fished with. they feel like a 200 dollar plus rod and you can get them for 100 to 120. I own the 7'3 M and MH. I'm pretty sure they make a 7'6" H for flipping. Give them a try. Quote
G3Steve Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Dobyns Savvy 735 or Champion 735C on sale at 20% off. If you like a little longer, take a look at the Champion 765 flip. The Dobyns 4 power rods would work too if you're working sparse/light cover. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 9, 2012 Super User Posted September 9, 2012 Looking for a lighter rod How light do you want to go? A true pitching stick is built like a tank. Most are going to be heavier than a standard rod. Quote
n8cas4 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 Lighter than the new omens. Lighter than my current crc-x711h Quote
