Not JDM, but I have a custom 7' MH that I love for pitching.
What about a F5-70 DG Advantage Type-R or a TMJC-70XH.

I like a shorter rod for pitching vs a longer rod for flipping.

However ,if 7ft is kool then i agree with Tony the EG TMJC-70XH, but if you have time the EG Wild Stallion might rule the roost.

A lot of people swear by the MB F7-711X Seven-Eleven even though they bill it more as a lighter, finesse jigging stick. They got the F7-72X , and F7-77X. However, I tend to hear more people raving about the Seven-Eleven.

Deps has several new flipping editions. The HGC-73XX would be a player

The UFM 7th Fighter (7F-701EX) and built P/C/G

Daiko Dreadnought BRDC-76FSX

the possibilities are endless
