Going through my rod/reel setups for this year and realizing I hardly ever use my "flipping" rods. I'm talking about the 7'6" plus length, heavy to XH rods. I reach for my 7'1-7'3 pitching rods more often than not when pitching to heavy cover with jigs and plastics. I find the shorter length and corresponding shorter handle, easier to present accurate pitches to precise targets. The one situation where I do use a heavy flipping stick is with braid when I'm fishing heavy grass. I realize this could be more of a personal preference or regional thing more than anything. I never really "flip" in the traditional sense of the technique. Just wondering what others thoughts are.
