What do you guys think? It's a 7 footer rated 12-30, sounds like it has the right specs for a flipping rod without the extra 6 inches. Is that gonna hinder me in any way? The only reason I ask is because I can get one for about half price brand new. Thanks for any replies.

Hey Jake
I haven't pulled on that rod so I can't say too much about that. The rating seems right but the thing I'm not diggin is the 7'0" length. Unless you're directly over 'em it seems a bit too short.
I had a Graphite USA 79F wrapped for Flippin revolver style w/ Fuji Concepts. The first guide is way up there so I can reach up and take a big bight of line when I draw back. There is only an inch of cork in front of the exposed blank reel seat and 3" of cork behind it. Raw blank till a weighted Fiji butt-cap.
This rod works absolutely insane. Perfectly balanced with a Shimano Castaic Super Free. 20# Clear P-Line CXX.
