What Size Rod Do I Need For Pitching?

Most people use rods 7' or longer to pitch with, for myself I can do a good job of it with a good 6'6" MH/F rod.

6'9"

I can pitch with EVERY rod in my locker, from 5' to 7'-11". My favorites for distance targets are a 7'-6" and in close quaters around docks or overhanging cover, a 6'-8" works great.

I'll do a pitch style cast at some point with almost any bait I throw. Choose rod length using the same basis you usually would. Longer for distance and moving line quickly and shorter for in close accuracy etc. Flipping uses a static length of line so I like a little longer rod in the 7'6" range.

I pitch with rods from 6'6' to 7'4'. All depending on what equipment I have with me at at what type of structure I am pitching at.
