What is the trick to pitching and flipping???

[SV1000]

I either end up with a backlash, a 4' cast or extra line wrapped around my grip and drag.

Please explain this in depth or post some links to good articles.

Thanks!

Go to Bass Pro Shops website and click on the video seminars link. Watch the flippin and pitchin video with Denny Brauer. Listen and study the video closely then practice, practice, practice! Hope this helps.

Thanks because I was having backlash problems when pitching too.

Yeah I tend to get backlashes too. You would think seeing the spool isnt going as fast you wouldnt

Hey guys if you like watching videos you can buy KVD's 3 disc set at BPS for $9.95 which has alot of good info. Contains Pitchin to heavy hitters, Strategies for changing conditions, and Proven spinnerbait techniques. These videos are older productions but still good, first two videos I believe were produced in 2001 or 2002, and the last video in 1991 or 1992. Also heard that The Bass Pros season one video has lots of good info, but have not seen it yet.

I have Bass Pros season one and it really doesn't cover the how to's of flipping and pitching. If you look at Edwin and Stacey you can get some hints by watching them but they really don't explain it at all.

That boat look awful small.

I watched Denny Brauer give a seminar at Bass Pro Shops on pitching and flipping.  He said to set the spool tension so that the bait just drops slowly to the floor and the spool stops turning when the bait hits the floor.

He also talked about keeping the lure very close to the water as you are pitching it.

How do you get a backlash while you flip when you don't even release the spool?   :-?

So let me get this straight cart.

Are you saying they are two different things? :)
