I am looking to add to my personal collection and a ghost man. I am wondering who was used the extra heavy and how it held up. Got a season on my med heavy and medium casting rods and been very happy. The medium spinning rod is legit too. I am wanting to learn to flip and pitch this year and hoping this will be a good rod. Looking for feedback specific to extra heavy

I have a Phenix maxim H I use for flippin pitching and froggin and I love the rod! I'd say it's a better bang for your buck than the ghost

I can not speak on an extra heavy but I use a 7'6 MH (veritas so it does feel a little stiffer) for F&P around docks, wood, any hard structure, and light-medium grass and a 7'9 H for punching or heavier grass, and that is with weights up to 2oz. To be honest I can't imagine using an extra heavy rod, especially for it being your first one but maybe someone else can speak on that. In my opinion it would be easier to learn with a non XH rod. I would recommend a 7'6 H or MH depending on which rod you are going to choose. A 7'6 H Ghost would not only be a great rod to learn on but one to use for a long time as well.
