You want to punch through the stuff, but a pitch is a soft, quiet
presentation. I'm confused.

I wanted a fast falling bait to punch through cane and floating debris in
muddy water.

Large, loud, heavy.

I couldn't get it to pitch on the rod I had so I gave up on it.

Bob, can you describe the fishing scenario that called for the huge bait
&
heavy sinker? Did you get bit?

I recently tried to throw a 3/4 oz bullet weight with a huge magnum
size
plastic. My St Croix flippng stick was not up to the task. I tried a
variety of settings ont he reel, and just couldn't get it to work
well.
Either I couldn't pitch it (just flip it) or it would slap the water
ont
he
way out. I figured it was strictly my inability to dial in the reel,
but
when I got home I tied a similar rig on my Tica TC3 flipping stick and
I
was
able to pitch it. Not as easily as a lighter bait, but it could be
dialed
in to pitch without short pitching or smacking the water every cast.

My TC3 is an 8 ft heavy action rod. Same line and reel on both rods.
Quantum Accurist with 50LB Power Pro.

I rarely fish a weight that heavy or a bait that big, but there are
times
when I want a huge heavy bait to punch through cover in muddy
conditions
etc
etc... What type of rig do you use?
