The Flipping Edition is a focused four-rod casting set for heavy-cover flipping and punching. All four blanks are XH or XXH and rated from 1/2 oz up to 4 oz, on 12 to 40 lb line, with lengths from 6'3" to 7'7". The longer XH and XXH models cover heavy punching and pitching into matted and woody cover; the shorter XH blanks trade reach for accuracy and control in close-quarters flipping. The FE suffix denotes the Flipping Edition role across the set.
