Guys

I read here someplace that your worm / jig rod should be the most expensive rod in your arsenal. If comfort but more importantly sensitivity, is key to that statement I agree.

I never owned a dedicated flipping/piching rod.

I've tryed it a few times with a spinning rod and I must say I'm pretty good at it, but obviously useing a baitcaster is the much better way to go.

One of the guys in my club has an older 7 ft M/H fast Compre rod that he will sell me but it is a 2 piece.

I've been struggling with getting a new 7' 6" Heavy or Med Heavy / fast rod to use. I bought a Quantum PT with a flipping switch that I'm gonna pair it up to.

My question...

How much feel do you think is lost in a 2 piece vs a 1 piece?

Would a heavy action rod vs a med heavy for flipping, [but mostly pitching] be a better choice?

The added cost for buying new is not an issue.

Thanks

Mike

I think you lose some feel with the 2 piece. More importantly you lose strength that you would want for a flipping/pitching rod.

I use a MH 1 piece 7+ foot rod for pitching. Don't do much flipping in my parts. The MH is enough in my area. But it all depends the cover on the lakes you fish.

Some of the real nice rods have a heavy action that have a more limber tip (so its not a broomstick) and nice feel to it, that'd probably be an ideal rod if you are flipping to.

Good luck dude!

I've used a 2 pc rod for a bunch of things, but never for flipping, I think I would stick to a 1 pc rod, that's just me.

Thanks Guy's

The lakes I fish most Big O, Toho, Kissimmee chain, etc. in Florida all have a mix of heavy and light cover in many areas and flipping and pitching are allmost allways a part of the day.

I think I'll pass on the 2 piece, don't want to lose anything.

Thanks

Mike
