Your favorite 7’0 Rod for flipping a 1/2 ounce Texas rig through the north country slop

Featured Replies

Anybody have a favorite rod for flipping a 1/2 ounce weight through the north country slop?

 

this will be on straight braid. I just got done flipping the steez power pitch, bottom contact 2 & the 7’3xh expride and it wears you down after day and days of fishing in a row. I flipped with my 844 conquest and the 1/2 and I imagine something with a faster tip would be better. Sure, the Mbr gets it gone but its mushy on the flip. The Mbr is just designed that way. Looking for a lighter option or the lightest option that I can throw a steez ct on with straight braid

Buddy of mine with a torn rotator cuff is able to flip all day with a Phenix Feather Heavy extra fast. Comes in 7’3” and 7’7”.

I put in quite a few hours flipping northern NY grass with a 3/4 oz jig on my 7'4 H MF Poison Adrena. Absolute pleasure! Can't believe how light those things are.  I started with a Chronarch CI4 but switched to a Bantam and liked it much better.

iRod Genesis III 704C. Really forgiving rod but has a lot of power too
