Flipping & Pitching Tips from David Walker

Matt — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 14:09:59 +0000

Nothing beats flipping and pitching for presenting lures in heavy cover, getting under docks and avoiding “squirrel fishing” in the overhanging trees. In this video E-Team Pro David Walker demonstrates his methods for effectively using these techniques.

His equipment:

71/2-8 ft. heavy action casting rod

20 lb. mono line (or braided line in grass)

David is usually targeting largemouth bass using this technique but this can be equally effective for smallmouths. You may want to downsize your tackle slightly.

This is the first in a series from a one hour kayak fishing clinic with Jeff Little and Chad Hoover. There is one thing these guys like almost as much as kayak fishing for smallmouth and largemouth bass, and that is talking about it and educating people that are interested or just getting into the sport. Even if you are a kayak fishing ‘veteran’ you will likely pick up some tips from these videos. Jeff and Chad cover topics such as choosing a kayak, rigging, technique and kayak safety.
