Oldbritguy Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Most of my bass fishing to date has been crankbaits/spinnerbaits/ surface plugs, etc. But I want to try Flip/Pitch/Punch in the heavy weeds this season. Just bought a Loomis GL2 FPR 7'-5" rod and looking for recommendations for a suitable quality reel to match. Any suggestions welcome. Quote

War Eagle 44 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I'd go with a Chronarch 200 E7, Chronarch CI4+, or a Metanium XG. Of course a discounted Curado G would work as well. Also if you can find one the new Curado I would be sweet. Quote

bflp3 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Lews Superduty in low gearing for torque. Most people do high gearing to make retrieving faster and reducing time between pitches/flips. Quote
Jsinkic Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I'm looking for the same set up. Something for the slop I think this would be a great rod. I love Quantum stuff I just can't find anything that has 50lb line rating Shimano Crucial CRCX77MHA https://www.basspro.com/Shimano-Crucial-Casting-Rods/product/1110040501174/ As for reel as stated I would go with something quick (7.0:1). I just found out Abu has a 9.0:1 thats 37" per turn!!! Quote
