1267, Best Flippin' rod?
Posted by dockboy, Fri Oct-21-05 06:03 PM
Hello. I need some help on buying a rod for flipping. The local lake I fish is just chock full o' cover, and quite a bit of it's heavy stuff.I know there are tons of rods out there that would do the trick. But this rod will be used mostly for 1/2 oz. jigs and large flipping plastics like the Brush Hog and Double Wide Beaver with 20 lb. test. Versatlity isn't too crucial here: my pitching and general soft plastic fishing rod is a stout 7' MH at the moment. But I need help on which are the best rods. Eventually I'm going to build a Loomis rod(probably a 905 model blank) but I need a rod for next season.I was thinking a Shimano Clarus from TW, they sound like a good temp. rod but any suugestions?
