spinnerbaitalways Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I just recently purchased a skeet reese 8 foot flippin stick and oh my where have you been. All i can say is to repeat Hank Parker " Man you got to get you one of these" lol I'm 5'7" but have no problem with length. I can get extra 5-10 feet distance. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted September 27, 2011 Super User Posted September 27, 2011 You shouldn't have any problem. I don't think height is a factor in constraining the length of rod you choose to wield. Sure sounds like a sweet rod. Congrats! Quote
Red Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I understand completely. I use a 7'11" rod and I love it. Quote
guitarkid Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I have the same exact rod, it does flip pretty sweet. =gk Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Wait till you make a hard hook set on a short line and watch that dink fly over your head. Quote
hookingem Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Ish uses a 8ft. Steez flipping stick nothing wrong with a little extra length...... Quote

BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted September 28, 2011 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted September 28, 2011 Been there, done that!! Even with a couple that were keepers!! Hit my partner with a 2 lber one day. He swears I did it on purpose. The shortest rod on my boat is now 7-6 and there is only 1 of them. Everything else is 7-8, 7-9, and 7-11. I love the extra length for leverage and extra casting distance. Quote

I do still use a 6'9" rod though for chucking squarebills into nasty timber. Quote
BassHole5 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I also own a Skeet Reese Flippin'/Pitchin' and I absolutely LOVE it!! The action is perfect and the length does help alot! Quote
spinnerbaitalways Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 im actually bragging more on the length and how much difference there was than brand name. Quote
