I just bought a new Diawa 7'6" Flippin' Rod for Flipping/Pitching lizards, craws, etc; and can't decide which reel is best to use. At the moment I have an Abu Garcia Revo STX with the 6.4:1 gear ratio, it does good but I'm can't decide if it's best. I have Abu Garcias in the 4600 C3, C4 and C4 Mag.

Out of these reels, which reel would you choose?

    I would stick with the STX (I don't use round reels that often).

    Definitely the STX.

    I kept the STX on and used it yesterday for the first time on the new rod and it felt good. I got to get used to that stiff rod but other than that I liked it.

    I have two more STX reels, one on a spinnerbait rod and the other on a t-rig rod. They do alright but would they work better on another rig?
