Ok I got the daiwa viento for christmas and i need to decide on a rod for it.  I already have a chronarch on a stcroix avid M/H. I was thinking about getting a IMX 844 and putting the cronarch on it for flipping and pitching.  The viento will go on the st croix.

that sound like a good idea or does anyone have a better suggestion?

Sounds good to me.

I kinda have the same problem. i just bought a viento and was going to put it on one of my flippin sticks, a St Croix Avid/AC710HF ( 7'10" heavy power /flippin). I love the viento, its so smooth, but after trying it, I liked my old Team Daiwa-S 103SDL for flippin better. So it went back on that  flippin stick. I am now using the viento on a 6'6" MH X-Fast tip, Pinnicale. for soft plastics and C-rig. It works great. Put 10# P-Line Floroclear on it and the twitching bar works great for crawling a tube slowly on the bottom. Works great for a shaky-head too.
