Flipping/Punching setup 2024
GLoomis711 reply :
What is everyones flipping matted grass/ Punching setup?
Rod, Line, Reel. I'm curious to see everyones, but make sure you post the specific type of braid, not just what size. 
Fat-G reply :
I'm probably going to get a 7'11 MHXF Cumara for flipping/pitching, with a Curado or Chronarch and 50#-65# PowerPro.
That will mostly be for flipping plastics and jigs in hard and soft cover, but I imagine it will be a very versitile rod as well.

Leverage.
JigMe reply :
I picked up a new setup this year for my pitching/flipping; Abu Garcia Verdict 7'6" Heavy XF with Abu Garcia STX 7:1 ratio. I like a longer rod for casting distance, and you can retrive your Jig back faster with a high speed reel so you can pitch it out quicker.

GLoomis711 reply :
I'm still learning on this technique, and have liked an 8' rod better than the 7'6''. Punching is the only technique that I use actual flipping, and the 8 rod lets me flip a little further.

I like it.. I dont use it a whole lot.. I find that I use my 7' MH powell for everything... its so light and sensitive...
When I use it I enjoy it.. I get a lot of questions and comments from my bass club members.. Its heavier than the powell, but then again it is also a foot longer than any other rod i own.. So i dont really have anything to compare it to.. Havent had any problems with it and try to use it every trip!

For the nasty stuff i use a 7'10" X heavy duckett micro magic with a 200e7 and 65-80lb power pro. After using it everything else feels like a broomstick
For lighter stuff i use a 7ft heavy veritas and a 200e7 with whatever line the cover calls for.

Thank you G! I was getting ready to ask the same question and now I get to read all about the resposnes!
One question guys, is the higher speed ratio reels needed, or could I do it with a Curado 200E5?
Dan-K reply :
I'm using a Castaic (6.1) and I think it is a good comprimise. It's not too slow and you dont sacrifice that much torque (for pulling the hogs out of the thick stuff).

How do you like the 805
I really like it. It is tailor made for 1-1.5 oz weights in the thickest cover a bass would ever live. I also hav experience with the lamiglass 7116 and Abu Garcia vendetta 7'6" mag heavy. The 805 really takes the cake.

longer rod don't offer more leverage... the fulcrum point is all wrong.... It actually gives the fish more leverage

Correct.
Shorter rods give you more leverage. What you do get with the longer rod is the ability to move more line each time you lift the rod tip.
