Flipping with Abrazx

[Drew03cmc]

Like it says, I have a flipping stick, 7'3" H that I'm looking to setup with fluorocarbon for flipping and pitching texas rigs and jigs around wood, docks, some grass and probably anywhere else I determine it's needed. I love my 17lb Abrazx on my MH, should I run 20 or 25 on this rod? I'm probably putting it on a gen 3 Revo SX for the stout drag to just horse fish out of stuff. Thanks!

I run 20-lb on my deep jig rod, which occasionally doubles as a pitcher/flipper.

 

Personally, I like fluorocarbon more as it goes up in size. Seems to me like the slack line sensitivity goes up with higher # tests and the extra weight of the line IMO makes it easier to pitch/flip where I want to/better control.

Thank you! I'm thinking I may just run 20 on that rod and use the MH with 15 for jigs and texas rigs in shallow, not quite as hairy structure.

I use 20# shooter for the conditions you describe on a similar rod. 
I tried 25# once of a different premium brand, but really didn’t see a discernible difference.
