I find that I do my best with a 6' 8" heavy rod, with a fast tip. I've got
a couple of flippin' rods that I'm fairly accurate with, but my all time
favorite is my new All-Star IM10X, spooled with mono. It's just sweet, and I
can put a jig in a 8" diameter pail from about 40' once in every three
tries.

I think the people who are advising you are overcomplicating it. 90% of
the
pros I've fished with used a flipping stick for pitching. As they went
along the bank or through the weedbed, they shifted seamlessly from
pitching to flipping and back again, depending on the distance too and
layout of the next likely target, without ever missing a beat. The few
I've
ever seen use a dedicated rod for pitching never picked up a flipping
stick
at all.
