Couple questions, as I am planning a rod build for the primary use of flipping or pitching (pitching most of the time). I wanted something in the 7'3 to 7'6 length range. Most baits will range in 3/8 - 1 ounce jigs etc... I want a blank that will be light and have the back bone to haul bass from milfoil on Champlain, but I also dont want a blank that is too stiff. Something comparable to the Dobyns Champion line of blanks. Also for balance and feel, what length handle works best for this application. Re: Flipping/Pitching Rod Suggestions

Jay,
Keith Combs BASS Elite pro and Anthony Gagliardi FLW Forrest wood champion both fish RainShadow blanks. They both have choose these modes: Immortal line for a Ultra High Modulus blank! [www.rainshadowrodblanks.com] It has 7'3"-7'6" models Revelation line have had amazing success!! [www.rainshadowrodblanks.com] We have had reports that some people have been fishing the Revelation 76MH for Albacore Tuna!! So we know the blank is very durable! This blank though has the lightness and the sensitivity for bass!! R.

I like a longer rear grip for a little more leverage - 12" or so. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/25/2015 03:24PM by Marc Morrone. Re: Flipping/Pitching Rod Suggestions
