After watching you and Denny on Bassmasters shows, I stood on a 5 gallon bucket and knocked the paint off a wooden fence around our farm learning to do this. Got a lot of plaques on my wall from doing this for years.
Randy this is only my opinion but this style video is by far your strong suit and go to. These videos capture me and motivate me. Seminar type of info that you don’t get unless you pay for it.
I fish with a jig all the time and I hammer the 5-8 lb Bass up here in the Adirondacks of NY I would like a tip on flipping creature baits what hook sizes and what creature size should I use and weight size per creature size
Randy, I’ve watched a lot but not all of your videos. This was by far the most informational video I’ve seen. Thank you for your dedication and willingness to share your experience.
Hey Randy, I'm a budget guy and I appreciate you giving up all this wisdom. It's not like a whole bunch of anglers are going to turn into pro's overnight, okay everyone so whats does it hurt to generously pass on old pro information. I appreciate it Randy for two reasons. I can make my own better lures for cheaper and as you say "No one else out there is presenting something quite like this", and this home made with a creative spin is better than you can get anywhere.
We may disagree on some topics more about technology and things but I consider it one of my strengths and favorite way to catch em. A lot in common there and like others views. Good video, I gotta learn pinching and grass better , not a lot around my area but the timber and shallow wood in dirty water or lower water clarity really do like to down size my weights as mentioned ..think one the hardest thing for people with the jig and took me the longest was more the accuracy ..I thought I was accurate few years back and I know I’m twice as good as I was and still getting better ..also the hook set ..positioning ..I’m still working on both hands ..do rarely hit today when I go out for the evening ima start practicing ..I’m getting hair better roll cast opposite hand ..need try more flippin
My back deck is 23" off of the ground. I lay a trash can down about 25' away, set the lid up also. If I can't go to the lake, I'll stand on the deck and flip into the can and as close to the lid as if it were a stump.
Randy just reviewing one of your videos & wanted to let you know I once met Denny Breuer. I grew up on a farm in eastern Nebraska and had a uncle that was a home builder. Denny was a brick mason by trade and did the masonary work on a few of my uncles jobs. In the late 70’s I saw his name winning a bass fishing tournament & wondered if it was the same person. Sure enough, left the trade to become a pro angler. Small world.
Biggest tip I can give with dirty water jigs is, don't be afraid to use a ridiculously bright colored trailer on a dark jig. My home lake is.... well best described as chocolate milk during the spring with 1-2 inches of visibility in the cleaner spots. A black and chartreuse jig with a day glow orange, methyolate (especially white dyed in JJ's magic) or bright chartreuse trailer will get bit when everything else just seems to disappear.
@@smallfish6355 Yes they do! I like the JJ's methyolate and chartreuse dyes over stock plastic colors myself. Even if it doesn't look like the dye took when you put the bait in the water it appears to glow, really popping out. As the water clears I start using the original colors or dying with spike it.
Flipping and pitching is my most favorite techniqe for bass fishing. Its all i use anymore. The part where you said 20-25 lb monofilament made me cringe because i only use a spinning reel for all my bass fishing. Im hoping 25 pound mono is not too thick for my 5000 size reel. I havent had any problems with 15 pound line in florida hydrilla but i trust your wisdom nevertheless. The reason i dont use a baitcaster is because baitcasters dont last as long as spinning reels and a good spinning reel is much cheaper than a baitcaster. Also with a spinning reel i can do the pendulum technique in pitching and its so much fun
The wrist is key in getting good pitches I believe, along with your thumb, and arm extension. Also I noticed it helps me to have my middle finger above the trigger and the pointer finger extended up the blank some
I've been flipping and pitching since '86. I've got the skills; the silent accuracy, dissecting cover, lure selection, fall rate, seasonal migrations and patterns, etc. My question is this: At our age, how do you handle an 8' stick, reel, 65lb braid, and 1oz cricket, all pulling on your ligaments, tendons, and muscles? I'm sure you have (or have had) carpal tunnel of the wrist, arthritis of the hands, tendonitis of the elbow, or bursitis of the shoulder-these just come naturally at our age. What do you do when you set the hook into a rock or laydown that doesn't give at all, but tweaks one of those ailments? Give us the REAL juice! Please!
randy, i consider myself an excellent pitcher flipper, im 58 and thats pretty much all i have ever done. like you i learned it in the late 80's from an old timer. my question is, have you ever used the sunline flipping fc , it has three foot clear three foot yellow. rather expensive but easy on my old eyes
I agree with most of your comments, I like using a mustad 91768 with a screwlock in the spring / early summer when there is not that much alge then when it starts to get scummy I will switch over to the strait shank,my bait of choice is the ultravibe speed craw,I also like jigs with a chunk when they want something more subtle, totally agree with the smaller 2/0 hook and lighter sinker
Randy, I'm basically old and have been chasing Bass longer than you have been competing, BUT you still teach me one little item in every video. To the "heard it all before" guys, you must not have learned because you're watching again. Lol
I learn everytime out, Thank You Randy, for the video, I've caught a lot of fish pitching and flipping, and won a lot of dollars doin that Over many years
The hardest part for me on Flippin ,pitching and punching.was sensing the bite = rod angle.and looking for the next spot to put it before I ended my retrieve.very repetitive and systematic. Very addictive.lol.love these videos buddy. Ripsumlipz
Up here in the Adirondacks I believe that when using a jig or a creature baits that scent is very important,do you recommend a putting scent on a jig etc,,, and if you do , what scent and brand do you use?
Just got back home and the Water temperature is running from 54° to 56° and it’s been on today all day can’t wait to get out there in the morning again
Hey Randy great content on pitching , flipping. Question I have is on a Texas rig with no peg how can I get the zoom ribbed swim type bait to run more true after I target laydown trees on bottom , and wanna attract fish higher in water columns same tree next cast swimming the bait .
Smaller jigs (1/8 to 5/16) have won me more tournaments than any other bait. My PB smallmouth (5) and largemouth (9) both came off a 1/4 oz jig, black and blue. I am all about using smaller jigs regardless of water clarity. My fishing partners would be throwing 3/8 to 1/2 oz and get so frustrated that I'm hoovering up fish that wouldn't touch their larger jigs, regardless if I'm in the front or back of the boat. I will use larger depending on depth, windy conditions/current or having to skip up under docks.
@@castandchill I make my own arky style jigs, hook is Mustad 32798. I use a 2/0 or 3/0 for the 1/8 to 5/16 range. They are a smaller gauge wire, but plenty strong enough to pull in large bass as long as it's not thick vegetation. I will use the 370 series hooks if I am around the salad.
First off I'll say I'm still looking for my 11lbr. Can't get past 10.2! Your setup is pretty close to mine. I do make my own skirted bullet weights, which are in the box also. The result is a cross between a jig and a Texas Rig. It's something different when I need it.
Really enjoyed it Randy. I want to thank you because before I subscribed over 2 1/2 yrs ago, I NEVER flipped/pitched. After listening to your advise on it I started and now love to do it, especially with jigs. I’m still not always clear about “WHEN” to start pitching but usually it’s in bright calm conditions when I think they have pulled to cover. Anyway, I really appreciate your help in expanding my experience.
Whaatttt? It’s always time to pitch a jig or Texas rig around 😂. I prefer to throw them when the moving bait bite is off or they’re deep in cover but honestly I always have a jig/t rig tied on!
@FullTimeFishing Guide Service - Yes, a JIG is my favorite way to fish. I just never had flipped/pitched in cover. I used to always just cast a Jig. I too always have one on the deck. 👍
Randy, great information. Your jigs are awesome. It's all I buy now and I can't wait for the 1 ounce models to come out. My question to you is do you use dye on the pitching and flipping baits like you do your jig trailers? Thanks for all the information and keep it coming.
Smaller hook will grab less falling through the cover also. Do people still flip?? Lol It seems like everyone is pitching these days but the youngsters sometimes call it flipping and it's getting a little cringey!
Someone like Simon Gawesworth has done great work to discuss this aspect of the fishing sport too (any time anyone with any credibility on bass angling side talks about this technique, the all do make that point about casting accuracy and skill). And the pitching and flipping process, has some things in common about it, to the fly fishing stance or pose. In that it's about an angler standing in a position. And tryinig to target very small windows of area for the bait to enter into. Not only has the bait got to land in the right area, it can't arrive into that area in just any way. There has to be a specific weight and speed to that bait as it lands. What some folks refer to these methods as, is 'contact' ways to fish.
What the definition of a contact way to fish would suggest. Is that the bait can be taken the instant that it is in the water. There's no delay. With non-contact ways to fish, not as much. For example, a jerk bait or a glide bait system of fishing might be examples of a non-contact way to fish. The whole idea that you build some slack and delay, into your 'contact' with the lure or the bait. Is the whole thing. Anglers who use conventional tackle talk about picking up slack that they create. When using the jerk bait technique for example. Conversely, I've heard a lot of anglers who fish a similar, small, hard-plastic bait with a diving bill feature. A bait such as a crankbait. They talk about the need for their crankbait to start to achieve depth and fish the minute the cast is made. And the lure hits the water. Crankbait lure fishing for that reason, might be an example of contact fishing.
The point being I think. That the reason to practice so much at methods like flipping and pitching. Is only partly because it's about getting the bait on target, in a small target area. Or changing one's stance more efficiently, by changing the arm that one uses to present the bait with. The point being, that having more control over the cast. Equates to better chances of being 'in contact' with the bait. In a more controlled way. When that fish takes, the instance that the bait hits the target. You're not sort of struggling to reel up slack, and tidy up one's line on one's reel. The minute the bait is presented to a fish, you're set up and ready. And while that may look like an angler who's relaxed and not too stressed about life. The reality is, this is an angler who's put an awful lot of work in. In order to make it look that easy. When it's not. Anglers talk about a specific crankbait rod for example. Which is different to any other. Where the crankbait has small treble hooks to hold fish. But also, those takes are likely to come suddenly and when the line is under some tension. So anglers might find with the crankbait. It's a whole skill to not lose fish when those takes arrive.
There's one other technique in conventional tackle, that falls somewhere in the middle. Between a method like the crankbait lure fishing. And the flipping or pitching method (and it wasn't until Randy talked about weight size around the 17:00 minute). That it becomes apparent to me. The size number two bullet spinners, or in-line spinner lures they fish here in Europe (the number two relates to blade size). The weight of the bullet on those lures though is around a sixth of an ounce (divide sixteen by six, and you get two-point-six). And two-point-six, is pretty much what Randy mentioned. That 'three-sixteen's' of an ounce weight used for flipping and pitching. Which Randy explains is all about the fall rate of the bait in the water. When the bait hits the water. It's amazing the number of anglers I've seen over the years. Who've settled on that size weight in their bullet spinners too. Watching these guys fish those lures, it's very much a flipping and pitching style of cast that those anglers have perfected. To an extent where they can fish behind loads of other anglers and find prize fish, where others don't get bites.
A chart for a certain old style bullet spinner lure revealed this information. In-line spinner blade size zero has one-twelfth ounce of weight. Blade size one had one-eighth ounce. Blade size two had one-sixth of an ounce (almost three-sixteenth's). Blade size three you're getting to a quarter ounce. Blade size four, a third of an ounce. Size five is half ounce. And large predatory species in-line spinner lures go to three-quarter and one ounce. However, I would argue those lures get up to different lengths, profiles etc too. So they're no longer a lure that one can simply flip and pitch. They are more like out-of-line spinner lures at that point (where you're into categories of lures, to compare to are chatter-bait's, bladed jigs, conventional heavy jigs and maybe swim jigs etc).
Also I agree with the guy above/below me, you’re good at these longer seminar videos I make it a point to watch all of them to better my education as an angler. From all the fish heads out there, thank you Randy!
Can be a lot depends on who said it. Lol if one of my old black friends say it it means original gangsta if a white guy says it then original gangsta or old guy. Lol
You know you don’t have to watch right? You also say that and can’t have even watched more than half of it. It’s a 40 minute video and was only posted 25 minutes ago.

The Hooks portion was eye opening, thank you Randy
That was a super quick 40 minutes. Sincerely appreciate the information.
Thanks for the info Randy good stuff 👍🙏

Top shelf video sir. Looked like you had a lot of fun putting this together. Wish you continued success.
One of the techniques I'm going to be working on and using this year. Thanks for all the info and tips. DLW
I swapped all my reels to left handed setups to help improve longevity between barbering and fishing. GAME changer 8:20

Is it just different styles of fishing or what is the best way to tell if I should be using a "JIG HEAD" or a "WEIGHT and HOOK" ? Great video Thanks!

Do you have a link to the flipping stick you recommend? I don’t see it on bait works or mega bass.
When you refer to a Gam G Finesse worm hook, is it light or heavy? Is this the same hook you use for a wacky rig senko or finesse worm?
Do you throw the living rubber year round?
thanks for the longer vid. so you typically dont use finesse jigs with finesse hooks in any situations ?
Good video , thanks for the info too

Practice?!! We talking about practice man!!!! Lol! Great video! Thanks!
Got the Randy Box from BaitWrx for my Dad for Christmas, killer box that was packed with great stuff. When is the next one coming out Randy?
Do you peg the senko when pitching it?
Randy, awhile back you mentioned the new school jig. When is it coming out?
Should be within the next couple of months
Randy, do you ever incorporate ringed hooks while flippin?
Do the fisherman in the south deal with lake turnover?
Decent video
Thx
Awesome video hogging tips with no live scope the reason I subscribed lol thanks Randy
Any tips for a guy that used to be a good flipper but lost an eye and now has questionable depth perception?
Awesome video!!! One question I have is how often do you peg your weight when your pitching and flipping?
Most all of the time
Flipping and pitching is exactly like fly fishing. You have to match the hatch
Smaller hook will grab less falling through the cover also. Do people still flip?? Lol It seems like everyone is pitching these days but the youngsters sometimes call it flipping and it's getting a little cringey!
The only individual on the fly tackle side of things, that this reminds me of a lot.
Someone like Simon Gawesworth has done great work to discuss this aspect of the fishing sport too (any time anyone with any credibility on bass angling side talks about this technique, the all do make that point about casting accuracy and skill). And the pitching and flipping process, has some things in common about it, to the fly fishing stance or pose. In that it's about an angler standing in a position.

Exhilarating stuff...
NOW YOUR TALKING RANDY ! TOP WATER #1 BUT FLIPPING AND PITCHING # 2 ! DO YOU CROSS THEIR EYES DOING THIS ? OR JUST REEL UP ON THEM ! I BLAST THEM !
Hey guys anybody ever use a bps carbonlite 2.0 combo for flipping? I’ve been lookin at em, they feel pretty good for a mid range combo
A 7-6 med hvy fast action carbon lite will work well. Ive used one for years.
@@edmelungeon2239 thnx buddy
That’s what I use. The reel could be upgraded but it works when there’s light to no wind
See I would never be able to fish that jig with a chunk on it. I would have no confidence because it doesn’t look like anything natural
