What rod and reel combination do you like the best ?

Dobyn's 766 flip and Shimano Curado.

carrot stix wild and a curado

Dobyns 735 and a Revo mgx.But any Revo would do.

Possibly the 736 depending where & cover & size of fish I was after

I use Lamiglas Excel 7116C with Revo SX and one with a Daiwa Viento.

Kistler Jig-N-Toad 7ft hvy or Kistler BroomStick 7ft x-hvy paired with a Quantum Kinetic 7.0:1 or Chronarch 101A depending on the weight of the lure I'm pitching/flipping.

7'0 MH Falcon HD rod with an Abu Garcia Orra SX reel. Cant go wrong.

Falcon Fc-8-163 heavy with a chronarch

I just matched a new revo mgx with a 7ft Kistler helium lta micro....I can't wait to test drive it!

7'10" Duckett Micro Curado DHSV

Forgot to add extra heavy

If you are going to "flip" I would use a heavy action rod at least 7ft 6inches in length. A longer rod would be even better for flipping to give you more distance with the "flip" and gives you more leverage. The reel to "flip" with doesn't matter much since you guide the line and bait out with your hand. The reel is used mostly to bring the bait back in.


Now if you are talking about "pitching" that is altogether a different technique. I would use a different rod and reel for "pitching" than I would for "flipping".

I use a Johnny Morris carbon black combo with the 7.3:1

Pitching I use a Cara Amistad (7'3 heavy) with a Revo Premier, flipping (which I rarely do) I use my frog setup, 7'10" Cara XH with a Revo S.

I use a 7'6" heavy Vendetta with a H20 XPRESS Menace 7.1:1 and 65 lb power pro because that's all I can afford But it works really good for me

Medium Heavy MBR 783c GLX,103HLA Daiwa Steez.

Colmic Herakles 7'6" Heavy Flipping Stick and Core MGFV.

This combo made me a little money in 2011.

Carrot stick 7 xh with a chronarch e 7.1 and a 7"3" mh kistler with a zillion in 7.1

7-6 falcon Cara one piece, not the telescoping. Revo.

Power Tackle PG104.5- 7'6"

We can make that work, similar set-up to mine, just recently put a Curado on it...would love to upgrade to a Dobyns..

For flipping only set up: A aredent F-700 and a 8" Gary Kliene Quantum custom rod shop !

Right. He's gotta be Pitchin'. Ain't too many dedicated Flippers out there,anymore.

I love my American Rodsmiths Denny Brauer Perfect Flipping Stick and have a Curaod E7 on it.

My Dobyns-735

875 loomis with a curado 200E7 and 25lb p-line

I Have disscuseded this on this board in the past, he may be confused with pitch'n !
I use a different rod and reel set-up for pitch'n depending on the conditions and lure weight.

Castaway Skeleton series "Flippin Stick". Citica E7. Castaway is made right here in the great state of TEXAS and a great rod.

Custom made side winder rod from joe graves, shimano, 25 lb big game
