I've been agonizing over this for a while now, at the present I use a 6'6" Med.Heavy St. Croix for pitchin/flippin, I was thinking of getting a 7' Diawa Light and Tough Med. Heavy Jig rod for this same purpose. Should I stay with the shorter rod or will I notice a big difference in the distance with the longer one?

Try one if you can before you buy it. Allot of people buy the bigger rod and then go right back to the shorter rod because it feels nicer.

I started out wit a 6'10" med for flipping when I was a non boater I found the shorter rod was easier t handle from the back of the boat Now I use the 7'6" and a looking at a 7'11" the extra length comes in handy in heavy grass or thick cover to get the fish out in a hurry

yeah I agree with ya about that. If I'm pitchin in heavy grass like on the Potomac I use a 7'6 flippin stick. Gotta have that extra leverage when you're in the thick stuff. I use a 6'6 for everything else though.
