Before long you'll be reaching for a short bc setup to use in the thick scrub because you won't need to accommodate for any back swing at all and having your thumb on the spool makes it very easy to halt a cast if you were ever to become overzealous with your flipping.

Yeah, when I've watched those bass guys flipping short distances to the edge of reeds - the amount of ground they can cover very quickly is impressive -it looks like they are working twice as quick as an angler with spin tackle could
So I spose it depends on where you're casting from and how far away your target is - When I typed the initial question I was thinking of trying to cast to the other side of the river with limited back swing.
