Im wanting suggestions for a good rod for flipping jigs. I have a abu vendetta heavy and I hate it. I feel like I'm trying to flip with a broom stick. Ive heard good things about dobyns rods but not sure on how the action is on them, Never do see them in stores. I have 3 falcon bucoo rods I use for tx rig and I like them.

Cheaper- I love my Duckett Micro Magic pro 7ft heavy
More $$ the new 2016 Gloomis GLX 894 fpr Rod is sweet. Nice tip with power. Not a broom stick

Americans legacy has a great sale on all Loomis rods going on now

If you like the Falcon Bucoo, take a look at the Falcon Jason Christie Pitchin' Stik. I use this rod for flipping and it is a pleasure to fish with--light and strong.


I have several Vendetta MH, and they are stiffer than my Falcon Heavy rated rods.
With that in mind, don't disregard the XH rated rods from Falcon--they probably won't feel as stiff as that Vendetta Heavy rated rod.

Other Falcon Rods to look at

Man....my favorite flipping rod is my Cara T7 Amistad.

Daiwa Zillion 7.6H

the dobyns have great action. They built their rods to fit a specific style of fishing. The jigging rod will have a great tip to feel bait and will not be a broom stick. The Jig rods will usually be in the 4-5 power range depending on what line size a strength of rod you want. I like the 745 and 744 in the Dobyns extreme rods.

Love this rod

Dobyns Champion 735 or Falcon Cara Amistad. Many choices cheaper, none better!

Not a better flipping rod then a PowerTackle PG104 or 104.5 depending on the size of jig.

My favorite is the G. Loomis E6X Casting Rod 7'6" Med Hvy 903C MBR for $199.

+1

However since you like your Falcon Bucoos I would try the Bucoo Amistad.

These are for sure dang good rods, but I have started using their new Pow-R Point Series

LPC1100 7�7� Dbl. XHvy/Fast, 20-40# flouro, 30-65# braid, 1-5 oz.

and

LPC970 7�7� Dbl XHvy/Mod.fast, 20-40#Flouro, 30-65# Braid
2-5oz.

These rods are so light and sensitive. You don't know what you have been missing till you put one in your hands.

Are you going to "fiip" or "pitch"? I have several rods that I use for jigs but I either cast or pitch. I hardly ever "flip". If I were going to "flip" a jig I would choose a 7-6 length rod or longer.
I currently use a Dobyns 745 Extreme, and a Power Tackle PG 104. I have a Powell Max 704, a Powell Endurance 714, a Powell Max3D 714, and a Dobyns Champion 705 and I have used all of these is the past for throwing jigs.

I like to use the 7ft rod when I am pitching jigs under docks and longer rods for pitching jigs to everything else.

Dobyns DX 795 FLIP. One of my favorite rods in the dobyns lineup.
