spinnerbaitalways Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Looking to buy new flipping stick need some suggestions want to flip as small as 1/4 ounce jigs but also up to 3/4 oz ? :-/ Quote
gopherbass Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 I'm not much of a flippin' guy, but for what's worth I've got a Kistler Magnesium "All day flippin' stick" and have been very satisfied. It's rated for 1/4 and will go up to 1.5 Quote
eulerentinc Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Ive got a 7 foot All Star Big Boy rod and its working well for me. Personally would never think of flipping anything as light as 1/4 oz. but im sure there i something out there. The big boy may have to much back bone for a 1/4 oz bait though. im thinking it might be hard to flip it where you want it. i have heard good things about the Kistler. Quote
flippin4it. Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 I will second Gopherbass on this one. I love it. It's balanced perfet. Another great flippin stick is the Daiwa Light n' tough. Quote
jdw174 Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 I will second Gopherbass on this one. I love it. It's balanced perfet. Another great flippin stick is the Daiwa Light n' tough. +1 for the Team Daiwa L&T If you're looking for a great rod that won't break the bank, that's the one. It's rated for 1/4-1 1/2 oz lures. It's not a "broom handle" action either. There's a bit of tip action to it making it easy to either flip or pitch. Quote
.Paxamus. Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 I have to also jump on the Kistler band wagon. LOVE IT, I also have the All Day Pitchin and FLippin stick by them and love it, thinking about getting a Mag TS Magnum worm one as well. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted May 11, 2007 Super User Posted May 11, 2007 I have a G-Loomis FS904X Flippin stick 7' 6" very light and strong. Mine is spiral wrapped with eva grips. I love it! Ronnie Quote
Guest avid Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 I use the Loomis BCR875GLX. 7'3" heavy action, fast tip. This rod is incredibly light and sensative for a powerhouse rod. Quote
flyphisher # Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 I prollie use my Allstar TAS827C more than any of my other flipping rods. I throw 1/4 oz stuff alot.... Will go smaller for some soft plastics. A good reel and the right line is another must for flipping light stuff. Quote
