I have a St Croix LTB in 6'8 mh fast that is rated for 1/4-1 ounce? This is my jig and Texas rig rod I want to start getting into flipping and pitching techniques this year and have a St Croix mojo bass swimbait rod in 7'8 h fast rats to 1-4 ounce and was wondering if I used this rod to pick up at the 1 ounce point in my rigs and use it for flipping and punching? Would it be to much rod for that? Let me know what you guys think

I think you'll be fine, but it's more than I would use. Consider this:  http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/128588-pinnacle-review/

You will be fine. I use the same rod for punching and like it. Its nice to have the backbone to pull a 5lb bass with 10lbs of weeds to the boat. I also really like the long handle on it. For me, it makes it easier to punch all day with those heavy weights.

I think that rod should work great for that application, they also make a good frog rod for the slop.
