i just wanted to know if I was flipping and pitching in heavy mat and i use artifical soft bait should i buy the 8 " Powerful Mat Special Trigger Rod  or the 7'2 pitch and skip rod ?  I am  looking for a good pitching and  flipping rod ? i was also want to hook this up with a  Daiwa Megaforce Casting Reels  to it all i can afford the price right now . what your opinion ?

The longer the rod the farther you can flip and pitch.  You also get a better hook set which helps in the thick stuff. 

You would be able to cast better with the 7'2" rod though.
