#2629, "RE: GUSA C70XH for Flippin Stick?" In response to In response to 0
Hey Jake
I haven't pulled on that rod so I can't say too much about that. The rating seems right but the thing I'm not diggin is the 7'0" length. Unless you're directly over 'em it seems a bit too short.
I had a Graphite USA 79F wrapped for Flippin revolver style w/ Fuji Concepts. The first guide is way up there so I can reach up and take a big bight of line when I draw back. There is only an inch of cork in front of the exposed blank reel seat and 3" of cork behind it. Raw blank till a weighted Fiji butt-cap.
This rod works absolutely insane. Perfectly balanced with a Shimano Castaic Super Free. 20# Clear P-Line CXX.
