I am looking for a good rod to fish heavy cover, I am using 50lb braided line and my 6 foot 6 inch medium heavy isn't great for this. anyone have any good ideas with out busting the bank?

You can get a Shimano Clarus H power for around 90 bucks, I have one of those.

Go to ohya and look at the Quantum Tour Edition PT.  There are 4 models ranging from a 7'4" Heavy Flippin to a 7'11" Heavy (is also a 7'6" and 7'9" Heavy).  These are some pretty decent rods. $200 MSRP on sale for $118.  I have the 6'10" Heavy in both the Superlite and Tour Edition.  Very nice rods for the money.  Are good rods at MSRP.

Recently on sale for $69. I bet if you watch it it'll go on sale again. Probably soon.

yea i got it for 69. all the models sold out quick except the frog and crankbait models so i chose the frog. hopefully theyll get some of the others back in stock soon.

Take a look at 7'4" to 7'6" med/hvy pitching-light flipping rods, St. Croix, Dobyn's, Phenix all make good rods for this presentation that can also be used for frogs.

Don't know what you budget is, check rods in your price range.

How heavy are we talking? TW still has the Cumara rep rods. Otherwise, I would check out the rods that WRB mentioned, as well as the Powell Max/Endurance line up which can be had at fish ranger for around 150

Everyones askin the same question and I've posted this several times:

If its about pullin fish outa the water and not so much impressin yer fellow fisherman with yer goods nor breakin the bank..

 

I mostly use an IM6 Daiwa Aird/Jupiter telescopic flippin stick when bank fishin 7'6'

2-piece telescopic means I can carry it around the bank easily.

IM6 means its light and wont wear me out

7'6 gives me great casting distance from the bank

Lets me spinnerbait, worm, reach some flips from shore, froggin, swimbait.. great overall.

Didnt break the bank either.. $45 sportsmanguide right now

I've pulled lotsa big fish outa heavy cover frm the shore with this.

 

Read the reviews on TW if u want

Awe C'mon!!... If I can't impress everyone, I might just as well take up bowling... yuck!...lol.

I recently made the switch on my flipping rod to a Denali Kovert 7'8" Extra Heavy Fast. One of the best rods I've ever fished with, highly recommend it.
