Flip Pitch Punch Reel

[LgMouthGambler]

Take hand off handle. The roller clutch will keep the spool pinned with the drag.

Yeah; I was trying to imagine myself setting the hook and realized that I must not take my hand off the handle sometimes. The soreness in my hand after that last break clued me in. Did not even realize I was doing that at times.

Those must be some devastating hooksets. It takes a good amount of force to bend the handle posts out and break carbon fiber. At least you figured out why it keeps happening to you.

It's been the first longish stretch of cold in FL, so the bite changed on me. It's been a bit sparse for my liking. So, perhaps I was a bit trigger happy this morning

I stick with a metal handle for my flip/punch reels. The little bit of added weight is not noticeable.

Deps DR-100ZX and zillion type R. The type R really benefited from a 50th handle for this application. Unfortunately, I can be a slow learner and I had to go through 2 type R handles before I made this switch.

I’ve seen but never used the Dr-100zX
I imagine that it’s one heck of a flip,pitch,punch reel.
It’s not gorgeous but it has its beauty. Thanks for sharing

Whoa! So how does this happen? Been trying to visualize it but can't quite figure it out.

My strong arm is right and use it for power. However, I’m left dominant eye; so all precision left-shooting pool, rifle, etc. I also retrieve reel lefty. So I’m holding the rod right and reeling left. When this happens, I’m holding my rod and reel as you would a chain saw. When I get the bite and get too excited I just jack it up without taking my hand off the handle and nearly tear the handle off the reel or break it instead

Oh wow, thanks for the explanation. Like others said you must have a killer hookset! Makes me think about how I set the hook although I probably need to hit the gym before I could do something like that haha. Good luck with your next handle!

How do you like this reel for flipping/pitching so far? I'm in the market for a reel for punching and have a scorpion 71 already, but not too sure if it will hold up or not for that technique.

That Deps is so sweet. I'm not a huge fan of the OG Zillion spool choices or I would have to get one. The lack of drag worried me, but for punching it actually probably makes sense with the right rod and line.

Deps DR - 100ZX. Any Zillion variant would be great. I like the Zillions over the Z 200 & Z2020 due to the weight of the Zs.
