Rod for flipping light weight jigs...

[bassfisher315]

I found a rod that im wanting to flip plastics and jigs with and i was wondering if this rod would work. http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/s...3385_-1?N=97010080+10001&Ntt=castaway&Ntk=All i knows its not as long as a big flippin stick and its told to be used for a C-Rig, but do you all of the CFF think that it would work?

I have an all star 8"0 flipping/frog rod. Like it alot.
I think it would just fine.

I've got a jmiles custom rod that's pretty heavy action and it works great for flipping although it's only 6'6. It's for sale of you want to try it $30

What are you going to Fish for with this Rod? What size jigs and size line?

I was thinkin about 60 pound braid or a 12 pound. Mainly a 1/4-3/8 jig and also soft plastics in fairly thick cover or docks. Im trying to get more into flippings and skipping.

I use 20 pound Flurocarbon unless im fishing grass then i use 65lb braid. But around dock and wood Flurocarbon is the way to go no doubt.
