So I'm looking at a flipping rod. Up in the mid-atlantic we don't have nearly the size fish as down south, nor do we have the types of heavy cover that grows on the Okie. I wonder if a flipping stick is really necessary. I can get a 7'3 or 7'6 rod that will work for other purposes.
However if I do really need to get a proper flipping stick, how critical is the weight rating on the rod? The one I am looking at is rated at up to 1. 5 oz. I'm told by some that when flipping I'm not loading the rod, so that's not important, but when pitching (likely what I'll be doing more of) I will be loading it, but maybe not all the way.
So. thoughts on lure weight ratings on Rods?

Hey Scott thank for these tips they help a lot. Are usually fish a lot of South Florida canals. At a point the worms were proving deadly when I went fishing. Lately the bite with the worms has not been as hot. What beach do you recommend as a consistent grassy Cannal fishing? Please advise. It's been a tough week with the worm lol

I got the same exact breaking system on my carrot stix reels. Its amazing love it. Scott this will be my first year on the FLW Pro Tour and im really looking foward to fishing the BIG O this year. I am gonna do the first two BFL series and then move over to the tour in febuary. Figured I could get a few extra points in the BFL.

I use 24k one ounce gold weights. Sure it's a bit costly but it adds that extra smidgen of flash when I'm punching pads.
Remember kids bass are snobs, so give gold a try the next time you head out to your favorite private pond or public lake.

Also do you feel that jigs will work as well? I don't think I've ever seen crawdads around those canals so I don't know if a presentation that imitates crawdads would be efficient. Please advise. Thank you sir

Thanks Scott - do you ever find fish prefer slower rate of fall - i. e. smaller weight (3/4oz) if still able to get it through the mat consistently?
