I actually own a St. Croix Mojo Bass Flippin' Stick length at 7'11 missing the first guide for flippin' purposes. I was wondering if it would give me any problems if I casted frogs with them?

sure it will work

I actually own a St. Croix Mojo Bass Flippin' Stick length at 7'11 missing the first guide for flippin' purposes. I was wondering if it would give me any problems if I casted frogs with them?

What are the advantages of this?

Well it was designed that way, I didn't take it out myself I'm thinking for pulling more line for further flips? Maybe it's just further up than the normal rod, just scared if I cast it might affect distance with the friction hitting the rod blank itself.

Oh....come to think of it, my Powell flipping stck is the same way, has no effect that I can tell on casting

I always sa a flippin stick as just a real heavy casting stick anyway haha :.The extra distance to the first guide probably wont make much difference except maybe with wind blown braided line IMO.
