which wud u choose? gonna use for flippin n pitchin n pair which ever rod with an ardent f700.

The Magic Stick is a very nice stick. I'd take that over the endurance. There's something about the tip on the Irod that makes it peculiarly good for pitching/flipping and casting frogs. Those are techniques that I don't usually like to use the same rod for, but with that rod they all fit very well. That said, if I wanted a rod at the $150 price that would flip/punch and pitch, it would be the 7-11 Punch rod.
