ok, so here's a dumb noob question, what's the difference between flipping and pitching? I thought both were pretty much the same thing - a short 'under-hand' cast intended to get up underneath things like overhanging trees and docks?
I just purchased a replacement for my old Diawa flipping rod. I got the Powell Max 766 flipping rod on sale 15% off. My wife says it's my father's day present . I think that I'll match it up with my old Castaic since it's still an awesome reel for me rather than buy a new flipping/pitching reel. Instead, I'll probably buy a general use baitcasting reel, something like the Curado perhaps...maybe that will be my birthday present.
