So I'm doing a Flippin & Punching rod. Using the American Tackle Bushido Flipping Stick. My only question of curiosity is what is the better choice in action? Fast or Moderate Fast? Other sources I've researched are somewhat split, so I'd just like some more opinions.
Thanks, Cam Re: Flippin/Punchin Rod

Cameron,
I personally would go with the fast action to move the fish quicker out of the slop. Don Campbell don@sensorfishingrods.com Re: Flippin/Punchin Rod

That's what i was leaning to. Just wanted some outside opinion. Also, of the 2 models, the straight one piece is the Fast action. The Moderate Fast is a telescopic. Not a fan of that design.
Thanks Re: Flippin/Punchin Rod

you will land more of the fish you move out of the slop with the moderate action Re: Flippin/Punchin Rod

Well Don, looks like we're outnumbered... For the telescoping rod, where does it telescope? just the handle?
Thanks for all the input. Cam Re: Flippin/Punchin Rod

Fast punch rod = broken punch rod + lost fish
Long punch rod = moving fish fast from cover Hydra Fishing, LLC Online: [www.hydrafishing.com] Facebook: [www.facebook.com] Email: info@hydrafishing.com Re: Flippin/Punchin Rod

I like the moderate for braid which is all I flip or punch with. If you are using heavy mono a faster action might work better. You can still have a H or XH power with a moderate action Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
