What would be a good length rod for pitchin/flipping jigs?



15. Signature images may not be larger than 600 pixels wide by 125 pixels tall. This includes logos, photos and other graphics. Also, no more than one row of images are allowed. If you want four or five logos in your signature, reduce their size to fit in one row.

If you are not going to be punching or really heavy cover stuff I would go with a 7'3" but heavier stuff a 7'6" would be my preferance.

I have a 7.4 heavy that works best for me in most situations.

Those are two different techniques.

For pitching I like to use a rod in the 7 to 7.3 inch range.

For flipping I would use at least a 7ft 6in rod or one all the way up to an 8ft rod. A long rod is best with this technique.
