A reel for my new Dobyns FR765flip?

[Kris]

As I think most of you know I do not spend hundreds of dollars on rods and reels.  I have finally decided to buy a Dobyns Fury 765flip flipping stick for my arsenal and now looking at reels.  I believe I want a 6.3 or so for this flipping stick so I don't lose the winch attributes of some higher ratios.  I will be using this for flipping, pitching and maybe even some LARGE crankbaits that I still have.  It must be left handed, prefer dual braking but can live with magnetic only.  Planning on flouro in probably 20-30 pound range but still open to suggestions,

Lesser expensive, good braking, left handed and would not hate a flipping switch.  Recommendations?

Yep, A Tatula CT Type R in the 8:1. Great braking and will get the bait back to you in a hurry for the next flip.
It wouldn't be my first choice for a crankbait, but honestly neither would a flippn stick with 20 or 30 lb. line.
If flippin is your primary use it's a great choice.

I second the Tatula CT. Great reel for the money.

I use a Shimano castaic for my flipping. You can find them used very cheap. Left hand will be tough though.

I just got the Tatula Tactical (Basically a Tatula Type R) 8:1:1. Used it for pitching and punching on Lake Istokpoga and it was an absolute pleasure to use. The reel does a fantastic job with light and heavy weights. No overruns no backlashes and minimal thumbing while pitching 65 braid.

I have a Champion 765Flip which I assume is similar to the fury. I would suspect the fury may be a little heavier. Not sure.

Either way the Tatula Tactical at 7.9oz balances perfectly on my 765Flip.
I reel with my left so the Tatulas work for me. If you want to save a bit of money, that Tatutla CT I would imagine is fairly close to the Tactical and quite a bit cheaper.

One of the last companies to make a reel with a flipping switch is Quantum, the Energy PT E101HPTA is a nice reel, good review on another popular site.  Good amount of drag, left handed models, flipping switch, they get a lot of hate but good reel over all.   Not too expensive and it certainly does not cost anything to take a look at.

Thanks for the input on this.  I am looking at several other reels right now and will also look at the Quantum.  I think the rod should be here late this week.  Thanks again.

I'll third? the Tatula suggestion, and recommend you look on ebay before buying anywhere else. I got a Tatula Type R in 8.1:1 (the perfect flipping reel IMO) for $110, new in box, MSRP is $180 or so.
