MHX CB907 as a Flipping Rod

Im looking for a parabolic blank to use for flipping 3/8 oz jigs with a trailor. Line will be 20lb floro.

Anyone built on this blank? Do you think it has the backbone to get a solid hookset with single hook baits?

I wouldn't use it for that.

Traps, deep cranks, some swimbaits... ok.

Ditto what Alex said.
If I were building that rod , I would probably use the Castaway BBI blank. It also makes a great Carolina Rod.

I would guess the reason you want a parabolic action flipping stick is to keep the fish from pulling off of the hook while you're fighting them.

A fast or mod-fast rod is better for getting the fish out of cover quickly, and once they're in open water for the "fighting" part of things, use your drag or do like I do and push the free-spool as needed to control surges. (I've used the free-spool method for years to fight large fish and have since read that Rick Clunn also does it, and he seems to have done ok!)
