Default Advice on flipping/pitching rod & reel setup

All,

I have been fishing for the better part of 20 years and the last 5 or
6 years, I have discovered the effectiveness of flipping/pitching
jigs. It's hard to give up this tactic for other tactics I consider
faddish or not as effective. Confidence maybe?

To keep a long story short, I have been using various setups and I
have not been happy with the results. Anyone who is an avid
flipper/pitcher knows this can be a great way to fatigue yourself and
at the end of the day have a very sore arm and hand. It catches fish,
but the side effects are something I just can't deal with anymore;
it's old age.

I am just curious to know if there are other "avid" flippers/pitchers
who have a rig setup that is light, "sensitive" and has to power to
handle a ¼ to ½ oz jig/pig and does not make your arm feel like mush
at the end of the day.

Can someone direct me toward a rod/reel setup that can do the job and
give first hand experience with the result?

Price in no issue.

I currently use a Falcon rod with a high end BPS reel.
