Yeah buddy. I’m learning the flipping and pitching game too. One thing that helps me is loading my rod up some from holding the lure, and then pointing my handles down and flipping my wrist up (I fish left handed, RH retrieve as well). Good stuff dude!
When flipping look for holes and thinner spots in the vegetation. The little changes in the vegetation holds fish often. It allows them to sit under the thicker stuff and attack in those thinner spots or holes. Just like when frog fishing youre looking fir spots to pause the frog and get that blow up. Love flipping stuff but i dont do as much as i should anymore 😂.
Don't worry bro I don't have much luck on a wacky worm here in Central Alabama either lol. I use a weightless Texas rigging stick bait to catch them instead
great video Larry. perfect timing for me since i just picked up some tungsten weights to devote some time to work on flipping and punching this weekend too. its always humbling to test out something different. I agree with you on the unnecessary risk as far as holding the hook goes. i am too easily distracted and would definitely hook myself more than i'd hook the fish 😂
LET"S GOOOO!!! Larry flips and the script and still catches BIG FISH!!! So glad to see you challenge yourself!!! That is why I first subscribed when I saw you try a new style of reel! You kept it real and gave a real opinion. Real sees Real! FOR REEL!!!
If you ever make ur way done to Kansas I know some fire coal mine strip pits with some giants that are private perfect to put ur kayak in pb caught out of there was 9 pounds
i’m with you on the pitching i don’t hold that lure in my hand period i feel that hook metal in my hand as i fling it no matter how i hold it screw that it ain’t worth it to me either that’s one ol school skill im ok wit not learning ill flip and pitch without having the hooks on my hand
Bro why do you use those big J hooks instead of Gamakotsu I wide worm hooks? Just curious, it wouldn't tear your baits up as bad and the hook up would be be better.
Honestly that’s a good question. My reason is that’s what i’ve seen everyone else use. The thick J hooks are definitely better for the style of fishing since they are thicker.
Any tips for braid on baitcasters? I tried it recently and my reel just wasn't taking line. Once I switched back to monofilament it was smooth as butter.
On all my braid reels i’ll fill the spool a little more than 1/4 of the way with a cheap mono from Walmart. The mono backing will help the braid not to dig into itself.
