Like a roll cast -- is that when I swing the lure in a circle before I let it go? What's the difference between pitching and flipping? Never did understand that. Regards, Josh Here's a helpful video I found on pitching vs flipping. Still not sure what roll casting is in bass fishing. I know that when fly fishing, a roll cast is used when there is no room for a backcast. Quote

Pretty much every cast is a roll cast unless he is flipping or pitching. I even use it on an overhead cast unless looking for ultimate accuracy. It is harder....for me....to be super accurate with an overhead roll cast. Practice makes purrfect tho. I feel it goes a long way towards eliminating backlashes as my timing isn't always perfect on my rod reversal. Especially in a small boat where the backcast is often abbreviated.......so I don't land my co-angler. Don't have a net that big. Quote

A roll cast is basically a side cast where you roll the lure and release it underhanded. I use this technique often. Pretty easy cast to learn I think and one of the first ones I learned. Quote
