In this video I talk about all the essential equipment you need to catch bass flipping and pitching.
Firstly lets talk about the rods you will need to flip and pitch to catch those bass in heavy cover. For a Texas rig I use a 7,3 Heavy Fast Action Rod. this gives me the option of flipping and pitching cover that isn't to heavy but the rod also gives me the option of fishing that heavy cover. The rod is an essential piece of equipment to get the right hook sets and also to get the fish out of or away from the cover the bass are living in. My jig fishing rod is a hybrid rod that I use for dragging baits like jigs and texas rigs. The rod action I use is a 7,3 Medium Heavy Fast Action Rod. I will use this rod mainly for flipping and pitching trees and spares cover. The action on the rod is perfect for me because it can do two think.
The reels on both my set ups are the Abu Garcia Revo STX and I have a 8,1:1 gear ratio for my heavy Texas rig and I use 6,7:1 gear ration for my Jig reel. the 6,8:1 speed gives me the option to really slow down when I chose to drag a jig.
The line I use for my flipping and pitching setups are 80 pound braid, which is my heavy cover flipping set up and I use 20 pound fluorocarbon for my jig set up
The tungsten weights I use for my heavy cover equipment will be a 1/2 ounce, 1 ounce or a 1 1/2 ounce. I use a 1/2 80% of the time. This weight in my opinion is the most versatile weight for heavy cover bass fishing. The other weights I will use when the cover gets thicker and that 1/2 ounce weight doesn't slide through cover anymore.
The jigs I use to flip trees and lite cover will mostly be 3/8 ounce in weight and the colours I use will be a natural (green pumpkin) for Clean water. I will use something alittle darker but still a very natural look(Brown and Blacks) in stained to semi dirty water. Then in really dirty water I will use a jig that really stands(Black or Black and Blue) out in that dirty water.
The soft plastics i use for flipping pitching will vary between a Creature style bait(Pitboss and Creature Hawg) and then I'll use a craw or crab style bait like the Chigger Craw or the Crash Craw.
Colours I keep it really simple I will use a green pumpkin for clear water and I will start moving to blacks when the water gets dirty.
