What is the difference between flipping and pitching?

I've done some research and honestly can't tell much of a difference. Anybody care to share their $.02?

For the most part I have just left it about halfway, but recently I've really started messing around with it to see what happens. Obviously at the max setting I'm not going to get as much distance on the other hand I've tried using lighter lures and used the lower setting hoping to get a little more...

Thanks for the response, but where can I find that Kistler?

I'm still pretty new to the baitcasting world and was wondering how to effectively use the brake settings on the reel. Are there guidelines of some sort as far as highest - lowest setting in conjunction with lure weight? Say I'm throwing a 1oz jig, would I set it at 1 or crank it up to 10? Heavier l...

I'm looking to get a new rod in the 7' range that would be good for topwater baits up to 1oz and mid-deep running crankbaits under the $200 mark if possible. Is there a rod that would work well for both,if so what do you recommend?

Oh wow, that picture is actually on their website. What did you think of them when you had them? Any noticeable differences? Good quality? Worth it?

Anybody put a HawgTech handle and a gen 3 Abu Garcia SX? If so can you post a picture or share your thoughts? Thanks!

Thanks for the welcoming. I've been an avid reader of Tackle Tour since last years iCast coverage,but only recently decided to join the forums. So do you fish Allatoona a lot?

thanks for the response. I read the review a while back,but was still curious as to what other applications I might be able to use it for.

okay...how about a Carrot Stix Wild Black 6'9" MH-F?

Just wondering what other applications this rod would be suitable for. Would it be good for larger topwater baits or maybe swimbaits? Thanks!

Fast action
Lure weight 1/4 - 1 1/2

ohhh, okay! Thanks for clearing that up for me. That was really throwing me off.

Taken from today's (9/10/13) Frog Installment "but Megabass, as a former JDM company whose baits were available in the North America through a licensed distributor..." So Megabass is no longer a JDM product and is no longer available through a North American distributor? Am I missing something here ...

I'm just glad I could finally get a response. That is what's throwing me off. It's like they threw in that one picture like "oh here we have a slit in the belly. You can use it, but we don't. Now continue rigging like this". WTF! The bait I got in black orochi and it's the Giant Dog-X. Though I have...

So nobody can help me out with this?
