Delaware Valley Tackle Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Anything with a sturdy frame and good drag that feel good in your hands will work. You don't need anything too specific here. That's the one application where I can tolerate mag only braking, otherwise I prefer centrifugal brakes. 1 Quote
Dan_the_fisher Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I love my bb1 pro for pitching, the brakes are amazing. And it handles braid very well. It just feels right in my hands to Quote
ColdSVT Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 As soon as my chronarch ci4+ gets back from DVT with its carbontex drag it will be on permanant flippin/pitchin duty! Right now my chronarch 51e is on flippin duty with solid results Quote
DTack Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Personal favorite is Tatula Type R 8:1. There are a lot of good strong options on the market now and DVT covered what counts. Quote

Super User Jeff H Posted June 17, 2015 Super User Posted June 17, 2015 Shimano CA-200 w/hawgtech handle and Winn knobs. ABEC 5 Ceramic hybrid spool bearings and Carbontex drag It's old but I still like it just for this stuff! Love that Instagage bar! Quote
masterbass Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I've been using a zillion 50th anniversary with a tdz100m spool. It's built like a tank and can pitch really well. I also use my tdz r+, td ito and curado 51e for pitching. I like a sturdy frame and a spool that's light, shallow and starts up fast for more accurate and low trajectory pitches that land softly. 1 Quote
