flipping

[heatmizer]

Any sugestions on a flipping outfit. I will be flipping some thick grass. I would like to keep it around 250$. I was looking at the 7"6' mojo rod and have no idea about a real. any help would be great.

u've lost your mojo for that price.
I would rec, I higher quality rod.. Most of the guys in my circle have been switching from loomis to dobyns flippin sticks.

It's a touch more than you wanted to spend, but I would recommend the Dobyns SS766FLIP and a Lews Speed Spool.

Loomis is the way to go. Also a high speed reel high end / left hand crank if you are right handed. Spiderwire stealth a good heavy hook and tungsten weights. The best way to catch big ones.

great idea about the left hand crank on the reel. what loomis do you recomend?

I have been a Shimano Curado man forever and swore by them. recently I bought the Lew's Speel Spool and OMG, What a dream reel. I pretty quickly ordered 6 more.Sweetest reel ive ever used to date and for the price WOW. Give them a try and he is spot on on the rod

If you want to get a flipp`n stick to use on occasion then the Mojo would suffice. However if you want to enjoy Flipp`n and get everything out of it there is to offer go with something balanced like the Dobyns. I have not personally fished the Savvy series but have heard good things and I do own a few Champions.

I have checked out Lews Speed spool. what one would you recomend with the Dobyns?

[jpav121]

That's really up to you. If you wanna go lefty, then you can only get 6.4:1 If you want a high speed (7.1:1) reel, you'll have to go righty. Personally, I like a 6.4:1 ratio reel for flipping because of the extra power. Other guys prefer the 7.1:1 to take up the slack quicker. Just depends on what you're willing to sacrifice. Either way, I think you'll be happy with the set up.

Are you talking the tourn speed spool or the toun. pro speed spool?

$90 reel + $170 rod = $260, just over your original budget.

[heatmizer]

would the tourn. or the tourn. pro, be that much of a better reel? I know its over what I wanted to spend but oh well. has anyone used them ccompared to the cheaper one

I have one of the Tourney Pro, one Tourney and 2 of the regular Speed Spool reels. All are mounted on Savvy rods. I have the regular Speed Spools on the 735 and the 766FLIP. I did that because I don't use those heavier sticks very often, in my mind, I couldn't justify spending a bunch of money on reels that would spend the bulk of their time in the rod rack. That said, the Speed Spool is impressive. Very smooth and very free casting. The only real differences, as far as I can tell are the the swept handle and dual brakes on the Tourney, the Tourney Pro is very "Revo Premier-like" in terms of features and weight. The Speed Spool just has magnetic brakes. You would be hard pressed to find a better reel in that price range. One other thing.... These reels sit VERY low on the rod. They are very comfortable to palm. Lower than a Revo I would think. Here is a pic of the regular Speed Spool on the 735, I tried to show how low it really sits but photography is not my strength.

Should work very well for you for the price. The Dobyns Savvy 766 Flip well balance very well for you and the reel would work well also and its really not to over your budget.
