Pitching Rod
 

I am in the market for a Pitching Rod and Reel set up. I want to learn to pitch a jig better and have something dedicated for it. Any suggestions? I don't really have a budget in mind just yet. I do not want the bottom of the line nor do I want the most expensive one out there either.
Thank you

I use a Powell Diesel, have caught a bunch of fish with it. Decent price range.

7'3" to 8' rod in heavy action, high speed reel (7.1:1) with at least 12lbs of drag. I really don't have any prefrences on brands. I have picked up 4 rods recently from a local rod manufacturer called All Pro and I'm really liking them and they don't brake the bank either. They are lightweight and have a good backbone and great action. I've also been using some Shimano Cumaras that are nice, but a little more pricey. I've found it best to set a budget and then start shopping.

^ this guy has rods for sale and I think one of his Shimanos would work for you. I have one of his old rods, it was in great shape and won me some money two weeks ago in my Tournament and before you ask, no I am not sharing my winnings with you because it was your old rod :)

All Pro!!!!!! Warranty and design as good as it gets! Mboro Outdoors, Hook 1 go check them out. 10 plus years I have used them. With Chad Hoover,Bill Merrick and Terry Russell running the show, it will become the best American Made Rod around again. Been a few rough years but back and growing!!!!!

Thanks for the mention. I was hoping you would share your winnings:). I tend not to keep things very long before I try something else, that's why most of my gear is in pretty good shape. If there's something out there I'm interested in (fishing gear related) I usually buy it, and sometimes it's overlap of what I already have or just find myself not using it.

Head to Academy and pick up these. I'll promise you you won't be dissapointed and you not have to eat hamburger helper for a month afterwards.

The Skeet Reese rods are very nice for the price. I have the cranking rod from that line and love it.
