is this a good flipping stick and can get the job done in heavy cover?

I have an uncle who bought one and uses it for flipping and pitching jigs, he seems pretty happy with it, no compaints anyway.

Pitching, too short for flipping.

I've used this rod a lot for frogging and had no complaints. It is a bit short when fishing the matted stuff with long casts. I think it excels in open water situations with medium to short casts. I have used it for flipping and pitching in close proximity only. Longer flips or pitches and i felt like I lost too much leverage.
