Kyle46N Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Hello! I'm new to the Potomac river and not familiar with the vegetation. What size flipping/pitching weights do you usually use on the Potomac? I know it depends on what vegetation you're pitching. Thanks! Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted February 19, 2014 Super User Posted February 19, 2014 Most of the time will use a 1oz, sometimes will step up to 1 1/2oz. Quote
Traveler2586 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Hello! I'm new to the Potomac river and not familiar with the vegetation. What size flipping/pitching weights do you usually use on the Potomac? I know it depends on what vegetation you're pitching. Thanks! Like you said, it depends on the vegetation. I let the area of vegetation tell me what I need, I want a weight that will punch through, but not fall too fast. Actually, I target holes in the vegetation most of the time just so I can use a lighter weight that will allow the bait to float to the bottom. I also at times let the wind carry my boat into the vegetation so I can flip new holes. Rarely do I over extend my casts where I'll need to drag a fish far through the grass or have to go chasing after it, I believe it spooks nearby fish and kills the area. 1 Quote
