jr231 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Do yourself a favor and try the rage bug...Not because they are a site sponsor... But because I've caught some serious fish with em. Quote
gripnrip Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 6'10" with a 7:1 and a 7'6" with a 7:1 Line depending on the cover I'm fishing. Usually the shorter rod is around docks or in somewhere tight. Line on that one is typically 20lb flouro unless I need to downsize for a finicky bite..... then I use a back up reel with around 15lb and just switch them out. The longer rod is used for everything else. The line on that is no less than 25lb flouro with a back up that has 65lb braid I can switch out to if the bite is in the nasty stuff. Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted January 17, 2017 Super User Posted January 17, 2017 The cool thing about the flipping stick is it doubles as a good frog rod if you get a heavy/fast. I use my frog rod for jigs when it's too cold for topwaters. It's a Cabela's Tourney XT Frog model rod, 7'3" hvy/fast with a Lew's Tournament MB Speed Spool 7.5:1 reel, spooled with 50 lb. Power Pro braid. But some people like a bit more tip on their flipping rod. 1 Quote
mwh33 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 It's according to what you are flipping and pitching into. I have different setups for where ever I am fishing. 1. Heaviest cover-timber/thick mats: megabass Super Red Demon with a Daiwa SV103 2. Moderate-heavy cover: Dobyns 746dx with a Megabass IP79 3. Light cover: Megabass orochi Pitch Perfect with Steez ltd sv 105 I use either power pro or suffix 832 braid or 20 to 25 lb Yo-Zuri or P-Line copolymer 1 Quote
