really i had no idea that a rectrable would add more weight maybe i need to consider this more is the amount of weight added enough to even consider? and it would be A LOT EASIER to transport and less likey to get broke.

TT did an awesonme review of that rod. I haven't made a major tackle purchse without first consulting Tackle Tour's reviews or members. It's the main reason I was sold on Heliums.

Anyway, I really don't get very technique specific and I wonder if I do enough flipping to justify buying a flipping stick. How much of a difference will the 7'6" have over a 7'? I'd prefer the shorter just for convenience and traveling. I can barely fit my 7's in my car as it is.

z: I wouldn't hesitate to use my 7' MC for pitchin' in fact, I've done just that over the last few weeks. I wanted to try it out for that technique as I've always used a heavier rod for pitchin' in the past. I've been pitchin' a 1/2 oz. PJ jig and trailer with it. So far, no bites but that's not the rods fault :D

Of course, don't let me 'stop' you from getting another Helium :wink: .
