Power Tackle, Loomis and Dobyns are 3 of the best in my opinion

As long as you get a good northfork blank or rainshadow. I'm experimenting with a few bushido blanks.

I lucked out and found an American Rodsmith Denny Brauer Perfect Flipping stick on sale. I think its original price was $250 or more and got it for like $80. I love the recoil guides on it and it is one beast of a rod.

I enjoy my Fitzgerald flipping/light pitching sticks. They are tip heavy but I don't mind.

Ever see those red sores on the side of bass?
That's where the slime coat has been removed. Every time you boat flip a fish, you're wiping that slime coat off on the carpet of your boat.

It's not the arrow, it's the Indian;) Every good Indian owned a premium bow. That premium bow would be the Power Tackle PG 104.

Powetackle pg 104.5 or the new series ( I dont remember the name) is pretty incredible. They handle big fish with ease and take a beating.
