Flippin Stick Choice

[walkeraviator]

Ok guys what is the best flippin stick for under $100??? I am thinkin 7'6" Heavy and either fast or extra fast tip... does this sound good?

[WaffleJaw]

I wanna say I held a BPS Carbonlite that was an x-fast/Heavy 7'6''
Arent those around a bill...I cant remember
The sale guy wouldnt shut up about them..For the price they felt good and seemed pretty good..

[Jigger]

Not under a hundred but my pick is a 7' 6" Falcon Cara.

Dont buy a Skeet Reese flippin rod. Unless you want to feel like youre fishin with a broom stick. I bought one and am very disappointed.

Yea they cant shut up about them because they tend to break easily and they want to get them off the shelves as quickly as possible lol. Buddy and me went to a marina the day he bought his and broke it while working a jig and popping it through cover lol.

Hey Walker can you talk her into going about 10-20 bucks more depending on which rod ya want? I own the Jerkbait/topwater that i like using for a spinnerbait and I love the rod. The mojo bass rods range from 100-120 and pretty much cater to every application.

If you can't talk her under 100 have a look at the Cabela's MagTouch, I've used them and I like them quite a bit. Can't really speak to their sensitivity because I've used them for spinnerbaits.

If you are looking to spend $100 or less, I'd look around on Ebay for a Falcon Original if it were me.

IMHO, I don't think the Originals can be beat for that price.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.

I just recently got an Abu Garcia Vendetta 7'6" MH F (maybe XF, I don't know for sure). I Haven't gotten to use it much yet, but so far I like it. The Mojo Bass rod is another option, but I feel the Vendetta is a bit better balanced.

Another vote for the Vendetta! 7'6" H F/XF

The carbonlite is more sensitive, but sure how durable they are though...

[nofearengineer]

Can we please stop recommending rods we've never held, touched, or even seen in person before?

[Shake n' Bake]

I have a Mojo Bass spinnerbait rod and froggin rod, I love them both never had a problem with either. Never used the flippin stick though. My cousin just bought a Vendetta 7' MH/F spinning rod and the first time out the tip top guide broke off.

$100 rules out the better St. Croix rods unless you can find a Premiere on sale.

Tell ya what walker, I've owned a Cabelas brand flippin rod for over 20 years now and I still use it to this day. It's the Fish Eagle II flippin rod. It's a telescopic 7 1/2 ft. heavy action rod rated for 3/8 - 2 oz. lures. This rod will take a beatin and ask for more!!! Mine is a bit heavy but I was checkin the newer version out recently and they are much lighter in weight than they used to be. Very very nice rods for the price. They run $79.99 in the catalog.

I tell you what guys.. i found my Dadas 20 year old shimano flippin rod... i think i am leaning towards a Clarus...

[3dkicker]

I've got a 7' MH Fast Clarus that I use for flipping jigs. Good rod. Does the job well.

Last year I bought two flipping sticks...
The St. Croix mojo was first and loved it. I bought the BPS carbonLite inlate winter and like it so much more than the Mojo, that the mojo isnt even in the rod locker anymore.
I love the reel seat, the feel is great, very light,..the bps rod balancer makes using it effortless.

THE BEST value right now would be the Kistler Argon - this was a $209 rod just a few months ago. They have been discontinued and are being closed out at $99. I've purchased from this buyer - he's excellent to deal with. You WILL NOT find a better rod for $100 NEW - ANYWHERE.
For your intended use, I would recommend this one.

Do you mean All Star Big Boy, Cavs?

If you could find made in the U.S.A All Stars I would recommend them 100%. The Team All Stars and Big Boy series are excellent rods at a great price. Quality of the Chinese All Stars doesn't compare to the U.S All Stars though.
