Anyone use the Denny Brauer flipping reel for flipping and pitching? I would like to get better at this, do you think this reel helps? Or what type of reel is best? I have a number of baitcast reels. I got spinning, too, but it seems most use baitcast. I saw a Mike Iaconelli video where he was using a spinning rig for kind of a finesse flipping technique. I like the idea of spinning since I would flip with my right hand. I do have two baitcast reels, though, that are left hand retrieve. I am just not quite as coordinated with left hand retrieve baitcast. I see many pros who just switch hands using baitcast while flipping just like they do casting. Flip with their right, then switch hands and reel with their right. Any input is helpful on what to use but does anyone think the Denny Brauer flipping reel is good? It is made by Ardent. It's unique in that the line guide does not move.

 

Of course, when you settle on a reel, then you have to choose a rod, lol!

 

Denny Brauer flipping reel

A few companies have reels that has a button that engages the reel
He has his name on it because he was sponsored by them. 
I don’t think it’s any better than the rest. 

 

When flipping you do not change hands. 

With experience you won’t need to when pitching
