So heres my question, and hopefully it don't sound like a beginners question, but rather a question from someone whom just started to try and perfect the technique. I know for flipping, most people want like a 7'3" - 8' Casting rod, with a Heavy power and fast action. Do you use basically the same power & action rod, for pitching as well? I'm trying to establish whether i should get a rod, specifically for pitching around docks or just pitching/casting football head jigs, around cover or into open water. Its hard to explain what i'm trying to find out. I believe my flipping rod is a Daiwa XT Tatula, 7'3" Heavy action. Can i use that for just general casting a football jig? Sorry if i'm not being thorough on all details.
