FP936-MHX Flipping and Pitching Rod

For general, all-purpose flippin’, this 7’9” X-heavy casting rod is the deal because it has some serious butt power paired with a forgiving mod/fast action that keeps big fish buttoned up. Scroggins will fish this rod in semi-heavy cover and get big time bites. Think 1oz to 1-1/2oz a creature bait and a stout hook.

“As I’m fishing through Kissimmee grass and weeds, I know exactly what to expect from my FP936-MHX Flippin’-Pitchin’ Rod. Once I pick it up, I know it’s on and those big lurking bass have no idea what’s about to hit ‘em. Long story short, this is one of the best all-purpose flippin’ rods out there.”

As Big Show travels around the country he encounters much more than just the heavy vegetation of Florida. Throwing crankbaits is one of the oldest and most productive techniques in all of bass fishing. You can bet Terry has one ready to go no matter where his travels take him.

“Y’all—this CB906 is a good one here—it’s a phenomenal crankbait rod for lipless and deep divers because it creates incredible distance with longer casts, while using the 7’6” length to pick up more line. This casting-cranking rod is going to get it done on Major League Fishing’s Bass Pro Tour for sure.”

The MLF Bass Pro Tour is going to get to know this rod real quick.” - Terry Scroggins, MLF Bass Pro Tour Angler

Last but not least, no angler can have a career like Big Show without being handy with a spinning rod.

Whether you are looking to have fun or cash checks the need for a good spinning rod is undeniable.
