like a long stiff rod for flippin and pitchin weed pockets  any good new rods that i might like?

My flippin stick is an older version of this rod (heavy), except mine is spiral wrapped on an IMX blank. If you can afford it, nothing beats it. JMHO

Dobyns Champion 805 flip/punch. 8 foot heavy fast.

I'm not trying to advertise, but I think the rod I have posted for sale would fit that need perfect.

Maybe some other people throw in some comments if they agree or not, but if you interested shoot me an IM and we can work something out.

Lamiglas Excel 7116C, 7'11" this thing is a beast!  Good price, good warranty, made in USA.

Crucial 7'6" Flippin Stick.  MH for moderate to thick cover.  H for the really nasty stuff.
