Super User Hooligan Posted January 5, 2011 Super User Posted January 5, 2011 The term "Pitchin Rod" implies that it was designed for pitchin. Not saying there are none, but I have never seen a rod that is made for pitchin less then 7ft, and most are 7'3 or longer. Can you pitch with any rod you want to? Sure go right ahead. But in the title and original thread he asked for a pitching rod. A pitch is not a cast, as far as I can see, its a pendulum motion like a flip except in free spool and a slight flick of the wrist to get the bait further out then a flip. There are a bunch of rods out there in the 6-8 60 6-10 range marketed as pitching rods. Rods from Loomis, Shimano, Cabela's BPS, a bunch of other manufacturers. If I'm in tight cover and pitching jigs and spinnerbaits, most often I reach for a 6-10 Pitching rod. A pitch is a type of cast, it's moving line off the reel, is it not? Quote
