Best Use for a 7'6" Heavy Rod?

[wordty]

I have a BPS Extreme 7'6" rod Heavy action with Fast tip...what are the best applications for this?  I have a 7.1.1 with 50 lb Power Pro on it but have other reels I could swap out.  Pitching?  Flipping?  Hollow body frogs?  Umbrella rig?  Looking for any suggestions please

Pool cue?!

A rig or light swimbaits would probably be your best option.

I have the same rod. any of the applications you mention work fine.  Also large spinnerbaits for Pike do well with it.

You can pitch or punch with it ..swim air rods contrary to popular belief can't just be broomsticks ... Idk about umbrella rigs as I don't fish them.. But I've never seen a scenario where a broom stick feel rod was a good choice

How heavy is "Heavy"? Depending on the lure weight range and action, it could be good for a number of apps.

If you can cast the lures you use effectively with this rod use it whatever application you want.

Flipping is all rod, pitching is a combination of flipping and letting line out with the reel, both would be good applications. 

My heavy 6 power 6'10" jig rods would be considered broom sticks by most anglers, however they are only  3.8 oz and cast 1/2 jigs over 50 yards...if you know how!

I use this exact rod to flip into heavy cover and occasionally to run a frog through very thick mats. The idea being to turn their head and get them out before they run down and tangle you up. I have also used this rod when bank fishing very inaccessible lakes/ponds when I need to pull them up and through sawgrass or over some nasty matted vegetation when my other rods wouldn't get them.
