Your videos are very well done and thoughtful, thank you. Keep up the great work

Great tips John

Great video John nailed it 👍

Sometime slow fall, sometimes fast. Sometimes big profile, sometime small. Sometimes big action, sometimes subtle... Can’t tell you when or why...But sometimes! What a pro tip😂

Another great video! Keep giving me all your secrets.🤣

Not sure I quite get it John. I guess I'll just have to go out flipping with you some day!!! Thanks for your info!

Great info John. Got a new subscriber here. Thank you!

Probably THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN PITCHING AND FLIPPING!! I've loved to flip pitch and punch since I started fishing 6 years ago and I used to use all heavier weights like 3/8 - 1/2 for everything then now ill toed on atleast 2 pitching setups. 1 bigger bait, heavier weight and another smaller bait, lighter weight and if they won't bite thise ill mix in longer slender baits and smaller slender baits if they don't want the thumping or dead actions

solid break down

Gambler flippin tubes were great. Rigged on a big ewg weightless had a spiral fall.

3/8 jig with a rage craw or spicy beaver has been my big producer. The man bear pig or the Gambler 5" Stinger with a 3/8 flipping weight is awesome too. I wished I could afford to have ten flipping rods rigged up at all times because there are so many great creature baits out there🐟👊🏼

Hey John you using the Daiwa Tatula flipping & pitching reel?

I have noticed the fall rate and the bait size. Never paid attenion to the type/profile though. Will keep it in mind.

That fall rate is #1 like you say. Hey man that bigger destroyer is one of the best night baits i have ever used. I fish it on a 1/8 tungsten bullet weight. That slow fall, all that action and the best sent on the market on a riprap bank with shad flipping and its on. My wife cant keep her nose out of my missle baits she loves the smell.

John, what color is that crawbait at 2:45

Magnum Crawfather Junebug, Candy Grass, and Super Bug!!

Hoping you would talk about "how "to flip..reel settings mostly.. rod ,line size ect...maybe next time.thx for the vid

Great points John!! How long do you flip a bait before giving up and changing the weight or the size? Do you start bulky and go lower on the weight or do you change the size first? I'm just trying to get a general idea on where to start. Thanks again!

Hey anyone seen my rod. Ahhh there it is 😎😊. Crossing eyes in Kansas. Good luck in Alabama!!!!

What line sizes, types and rod and reel setup do you prefer?

I still think the Baby D Bomb is the most productive flipping bait I've ever found. 🤷‍♂️

Would you consider Smith Mountain Lake to be a "flipping lake"? If so, I'd guess around docks and laydowns... Is there any need to use a really heavy weight there, since there isn't really much to punch through? Thanks for putting out all these videos, I'm learning a lot!

I flip flooded bushes with a 3/16 or 1/4 oz weight all the time. Always have. That being said, I will go slightly heavier at times. But a 3/16 oz weight on my flippin bait is almost exclusive. I also tend to stay un pegged always, even pitchin heavy cover. Say what you may.

What kind of signs if any do you see in tha bite that makes you decide to change weights one way or the other?

I flip and punch the big d bomb about 80% of the time. I have caught all of the biggest bass in my life using that bait. I've even caught crappy and goggle eye on it punching with a 1.5 oz weight! The very first day I ever fished it I caught a nine even. Since then I have caught many, fives a few sixes, a 7.5 and an 8.5 It delivers numbers too at times.

Do you ever drag the missile craw on a swing head?

What Rod for most flipping?

What about color ?

Which one you gonna respond to faster "A kick door"or a knock on the door"🤷

Flipping or pitching? 2 different techniques.

The bass won't tell me nothin,either bubba...& I talk to Em a lot but it's very 1 sided...
