Flipping is a unique technique that combines "power" fishing with a "finesse" approach. It's power because it requires heavy line, a powerful, yet sensitive rod for horsing fish out of heavy cover, yet it's finesse in that it requires fishing in very close proximity to the fish... soft, quiet presentations, requiring accuracy and precise lure control. The extra length of a flipping rod allows you to manage this exciting technique well. It can be a lot of fun and extremely effective, especially when the fish are tight to cover and not in the chasing mood. These MossyBack Flipping Rods feature split-grips with a 3" cork fighting-butt, a comfortable "hour glass" cork rear-grip, Fuji trigger reel seat and guides plus a 3" cork fore-grip. Put the power of G.Loomis engineering on your side... it's all about catching fish!!
