Pitching & Flipping Rig - Advice needed
i put a curado 7:1 on my flipping stick this year 7'6 clarus. thinking on upgrading to a 1piece 7'6 crucial. for pitching i use a 7'heavy crucial on that i have a shimano castaic. but you have to use what is comfortable and affordable to you. i didnt fish with my 7.1 reel yet but i figure to take up more line and get them out of cover a high speed reel is a convienence

flipping / pitching reel
im looking to replace my quantum reel on my flipping stick. I cast right handed and switch hands to reel. I was wondering if it is worth getting a reel with a flipping switch? or get a left handed retrieve reel? If i get a flipping reel it will be a castaic or if i get just a regular bc reel it will be a curado.

Baitcasting line - mono, flourocarbon, braided?
i like copolymer lines. i just bought a bunch of gamma line. it's breaking strength is much more than the rated # test. for instance 17#test is rated breaking strength is 34#s. copolymer is a blend of materials, unlike mono is usually nylon. copolymer is more limp and less memory.

pitching baits
just wondering whats baits you like pitching? wether it is vegetation or shallow wood or anything on the bank. and how about weight. i start with 3/8 and work my way up from there.

rods and reels
i would go with 7' heavy for pitching and carolina rig to use for both. the heavy has more butt to it to muscle bass from vegetation. you can get away with 17# test if you go with gamma line.
