More Flippin questions

[Wishing2BFishing]

Actually, I wanted to revisit some earlier inquiries on selecting a rod that will be used primarily for pitchin' not flippin . . . I just thought "More Flippin questions" was a better title for this thread.

So, here are some more details on what exactly I am looking for . . .

I want something with major backbone but a sensitve tip. I intend to pair the rod with a Chronarch MG which will be spooled with Power Pro 65 lb line (I was going to use the 50 lb but I recall reading some posts which mentioned problems with the 50 lb PP braid). I will be throwing a lot of 1/4 - 3/8 oz stuff (tubes, unweighted texas rigged senkos, unweighted Salty Shads, and 3/8 jigs) and once and a while I will go heavier. I don't mind spending a little bit of money but don't want to drop "Loomis" cash because every year I usually break a rod (never know which one will be the unlikely victim).

Any recommendations?
