DP82 Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Looking for above average flip and pitch rod! Looking at a few Doybns and G loomis. My concern with Doybns is the weight. If I pay that kind of money I want a super light stick. I've never seen a Loomis FPR so Idl there. Thoughts and opinions appreciated! Quote
Super User fishnkamp Posted January 23, 2017 Super User Posted January 23, 2017 Go pick up a Dobyns, install your favorite reel on it. You will immediately forget about weight and be amazed that it balances perfectly. A combo properly balanced fishes all day without causing fatigue. Most really light rods are too tip heavy. It makes no difference if you are s[peaking about the Fury series, Sierra series or either of the Champion series. If it falls in your budget look at the Champion XP DC 736C in either a full cork handle or split grip. If that is too expensive then choose between a Sierra 735C, Fury FR 735C and 765 Flip. I have a friend that recently purchased the 765 Flip. Amazing rod for the price. 2 Quote
Super User Angry John Posted January 23, 2017 Super User Posted January 23, 2017 Have you checked out the mb XXX perfect pitch. Might be worth a look. 1 Quote
mwh33 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 I have a fewhite that I like. I have a dobyns hp 746dx, dobyns ce 765 flip, megabass orochi pitch perfect (JDM version), and for the heavy stuff a megabass black jungle Super Red Demon. All are great with different purposes for me. 1 Quote
Airman4754 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 I run a Phenix Classic Super Flipper and I really like it. It's kind of a wonky design, but it works great. Quote
Dr. G Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 I just purchased a 7'6" Heavy Extra Fast Carbonlite rod from BassPro and love it. Paired with the brand new Carbonlite 2.0 reel. Its extremely light, Pitches very smooth, great backbone and very sensitive. 1 Quote

I love the 734 but the 735 that I use for buzz frogs where's me out! 56 minutes ago, mwh33 said: I have a fewhite that I like.

Super User fishnkamp Posted January 23, 2017 Super User Posted January 23, 2017 I sent you a pm. Please check it out. I am sorry I have never touched that particular rod. 1 Quote
mwh33 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 I haven't had any with the 795, only the 765. Quote

I could call and bug him..lol I cast last month and asked about a 682 spinning. I don't feel comfortable spending big money on a cranking rod. I went with Loomis GLX for my 5/16 and lighter cranks. As far as flipping I need to be able to fish 1/4 Oz trigs and still be able to punch 1 1/4 Oz. I read an older thread and I think I'm going with DX 795 FLIP. I'm hoping it's not too stiff, I like a med heavy. I'm starting a new thread, what's best reel for DX 795 FLIP.. lol Thank you guys! Quote
