flippin stick ?

Who makes a flippin' stick like the Powell or Dobyns with a telescopic handle? I have been told they don't make one, but I want the lighter rod without the forward cork.

Re: Tournament guys, weigh in ??

They are all different. Just ask at check in. Some tournaments at Ladds and Fleming (Pedro) have drive by weigh ins. Most events, you wait with the fish in the live well until you can get a bag, then bag'em and bring them to the scales. Also, some turkey shoots you will weigh them from your live well.
