Bass Fishing Technique 1-Flippin’ for Bass

Flippin’ is a calm but forceful bass fishing technique. You use it when the weeds are lush (matted), working a reed/Kissimmee grass line or when working docks.

The bait is Texas rigged worm/craw idiot and the weight size varies with the type of decorate you are flippin to. For matted forge, use 1/2 – 1 1/2 ounce bullet weights. For reeds/Kissimmee grass lines, I usually use from 1/4- 3/8 ounce weights. The line needs to be at fewest 20 pound test (either mono or braided).

The entree starts like a slow overhead cast bringing the rod to a 45 quantity angle. Pull approx. 3-4 feet of line off the baitcasting reel with one hand whilst thumbing the spool. Keep the numeral coercion on the line and concisely dip the rod tip toward the water’s hatch, then in the same stream lift the rod tip back to the 45 pledge angle duration releasing the line. Keep your lure thespian as cease to the water’s attire as possible. This will keep the lure inlet into the restrain much quieter. As the lure enters the rinse, removal the symbol impel and grant the lure to sink vertically.

The feel of the bite when flippin is usually quite disparate than the casting bite. Most of the time the lure will have a mush hazard or break emotional sideways. The disciplined thump bite does happen, but not as often. When you feel the mush bite, drop the rod with flat line (this keeps the bass from broken hearted your unnatural movements), reel the apathetic in and set the hook. If the line is histrionic sideways, regularly set the hook in the regulation contrary of the pull.

I find that most of my bites happen whilst the first fall. notwithstanding, I usually follow up the first fall by jigging the lure up and down in a slow methodic fashion for 3-4 jigging motions. This jigging tide is just a slow pull up, then letting the lure fall back down. If you want to victim more bass, you have got to try this method!
