The G. Loomis Flipping Sticks provide anglers with a series of rods especially tailored to this unique way of dropping lures into heavy cover. Flipping is a technical form of heavy-duty finesse fishing. Finesse and heavy-duty together may sound like an oxymoron, but most anglers choose to flip because the fish are in heavy cover where conventional casting just is not an option. The length of a Flipping Stick allows the angler to "swing" lures around into heavy cover so that they enter the water softly. And because they allow a vertical presentation, lures drops straight to the bottom - unlike a lure that's cast and falls toward the angler, missing those important perimeter zones. Often times, the real test isn't hooking fish, it's getting those fish out of the space you just flipped your lure into. You need a rod that can move fish quickly. Built with a fast taper, these rods will do just that.
The Flipping Sticks are built on the Loomis exclusive GLX graphite and Mossyback graphite. Therefore, they are incredibly durable and built with high-grade components. The butt section of these rods collapses into the handle for easy storage.
All of these rods are casting rods. They are all one piece and have fast actions.
The table below describes each of the G. Loomis Flipping Sticks. The rod handles are described in the next table below.
