Champion 765Flip Vs Ltb Pitching

[tomustang]

How comparable are these two rods?

I know croix on average fishes heavier than the rating and I've read that dobyns don't do well at the higher rating.

Are they evenly matched though the oz ratings are different?

I would think the ltb is lighter but tip heavier than the dobyns.

No love from either?

What exactly are you looking to use them for

Pitching 1 1/2oz jig/plastic max but mainly 3/4-1oz+plastic, light flippin, occasional swim baits up to 2oz and perhaps bigger spinnerbaits

Id rather use the 766 than the 765 for what you want to use it for. I had the 766 last year and used it strictly for punching. Beast of a rod but was able to pitch 3/4. +beaver up to 1 1/2 oz +beaver with no issues into nasty slop. Id rather have the 5 for spinnerbaits but the 6 for everything else.

I used a few years ago the HMF version of the pitching. It was a good stick. The MH would be over worked with the mf tip but the MF tip was just awesome for punching.
