I am Looking to buy a rod for flipping and pitching,one that will handle heavy weights and braided line any advice?    

how much are you trying to spend?

Just take a look around here in the equipment and Tackle section first There are at least 5 major posts on just this topic. If you still do not see the answer I will resond then. tight lines, Steve

This topic here about half way down into it starts talking about the flipping rods for jigs, etc Click here<<

This topic is good also. << click here

and then here for videos<< rod videos we suggest

Well I was going to buy one of the Skeet Reese Fipping rods but they are 8ft and that just seems like a lot of rod to me but I will spend the money because I want a good rod. Thanks will check out those topics.   

I own the Skeet Reese rod and it is OK but I don't like it anywhere near as well as the Veritas or the Powell, and if you really want to get a better one for just a few more dollars the St Croix is far superior.

ST CROIX  

i 2nd the st. croix thats pretty much all i own. and if you break it . send 20.00 and get a new rod no questions asked

agreed.

For flipping and pitching, I have a 7' Med/hev Allstar. It's a nice rod but by no means is it as good as some other rods like St. Croixs or Powells
