Ok, this weeks topic is flipping....
What do you like to flip with ?
(we already have a rod one on the board so..)
Baits? I know this is a can of worms so to speak, but the real topic here is what types of baits do you like to flip? and do you change for different types of cover? Should you?

ok, but when and where do you each and how do you choose which? i guess what i was trying to get at, is do you flip the same bait at everything ? or switch baits for different types of cover ? .... if so, which baits do you throw at what covers...?

Lake Fork Craw tube either T-rigged or as a jig trailer
T-rig when the bite is slow and I want a slow fall jig craw tube when I am looking for big bite or the bite wants a faster fall
I will say in the fall of the year I flip a 8 inch LFT worm in watermelon seed get lot more bites from Oct to Jan

I generally flip the tubes and Bacon Rinds around cover such as docks and lay downs. If I am flipping grass I will use a Gambler Crawdaddy or BB Cricket and Sometimes a TX rigged Sweebo worm so these baits will go through the strands of grass easily. I also use alot of Scents when flipping

I'd guess that 95% of the time I am either flipping a Zoom brush hog or a stanley jig. I will generally have both ready and switch between the two. Both seem to work especially well on wood (docks or trees) as long as there isn't too much grass. If there is a lot of grass mixed in, then the jig works better for me. I like to go from the brush hog to a tube if the grass is thick.
If we are talking deep or matted grass, then I like to use a Hawg Craw or heavy jig.
I will flip a worm, but not so much in the sense of what your asking, or at least not as much.

I flip a jig unless it is deep clear water like Travis for the most part. In deep clear water I like a baby brush hog or bacon bit Texas rigged. I have followed someone flipping a brug hog to cover in dingy water with a jig and picked up several fish. Jig fish are typically bigger as well. I will also state that I did not flip until about two years ago. Ask Ed, I could not even cast a baitcast reel worth a d**n.

Okay, I flip (and you have to include pitch) a lot on most lakes (Not Fayette...I am going to keep my charters away from the trees...ask Joel about scratches!) and river systems....wehn depends on the fish.... What also depends on the fish...a quick check of my records shows the following baits in order that I have flipped in the last 8 years. Jig Brush Hog Berkley Power Worm - 10" Senko My secret Blue Molly Tubes Kut Tail Worm Lizard French Fry. WHEN do I throw each? When the fish tell me which one they want! cbs

Cyclone jigs in grass and such, they come thru better than any other brand I've tried and they work great swimmin too! Brush Hogs and babybrush hogs for most general stuff, wood, pads, rock.Strike King or Lake Fork tubes for docks, clear water etc. Then all the specialty stuff for specific situations and locations. I pitch more than flip but can pitch all day and love every minute of it. Daiwa TDX reels make all the difference nothing compares. Interested in how the Zoom Super Hog fishes they are out in a number tackle stores now but I haven't tried them yet.

I like to scale back both line size and weight, then I flip a spider grub to the back of docks! Bass just can't stand that slow fall with those two little leg's just ah kick'n! Or I break out the All Star Big Boy, braided line and a 1oz Oldham's Jig in Grass at Lake Austin! Then again, I flip more than I cast! No body mentioned a spinnerbait, but you know we all flip them up and around the good stuff!! Shane ;D

My favorite baits to flip are the NetBait's Baby Paca Craw and NetBait Baby Action Cat. Both are impregnated with Anise Oil and bot have great action in the water. My first cast with the Baby Paca Craw resulted in a bass that topped the scales at 5.2 lbs. I also like to flip Strike King Pro Model Jigs, with Zoom Trailers. These two baits are very compatible with one another, and they make a very bulky bait in the water. Also, I like to flip the Norie's Bug by Kinami Lures, the Kreature and Fat Baby Craw from GYCB, and the Sweet Beaver from Reaction Innovations. All these lures have caught several nice bass for me. I always use them with a 3/16 oz. bullet weight, unpegged, with a 2/0 EWG Gamakatsu hook. If I am fishing in heavy wind or current, I will move up to a heavier bullet weight, 5/16 to 1/2 oz.

Is the guy that makes Cyclone jigs still alive and /or in business! I heard about a year ago there was health problems and the business might close. Never heard anything else but Academy and a number of other tackle shops quit carrying stock levels. Only place I've found them since is Ann's tackle or Toledo Town & Tackle. I try to stay stocked up on my favorite colors and sizes. I've tried lots of different jig brands nothing works as well as Cyclone jigs for my style of flippin and pitchin! Cyclone Jigs are my jig of choice also but try and get them anywhere except around East Texas. cbs

i don't "flip" much but, i pitch like a son-of-a-gun.
most of my pitching involves brush hog, jig, tube, worm, w/ the weight pegged. i have also pitched spinnerbaits and cranks carefully.
i can cover more cover accurately pitching than casting.
