Good video. I've tried a little flipping/pitching with my spinning rod but it feels kind of awkward. I'm much more comfortable doing it with my baitcaster. But to each his own and I suppose there's a time and place for every technique.

Growing up in the mountains we do a lot of this for trout. Fishing a stream requires you to cast underneath overhanging branches. "Flipping" with a spinning reel is a technique that anyone can master.
Basshammer reply :
Fishing in the river with spinning gear i use flipping a lot, good technique to learn if you don't know how.
SirSnookalot reply :
It's a nice technique. I just flip backhand or underhand, fishing for so many years with spinning, the rod is like an extension of my arm.
LMB ANGLER reply :
its all done with a little practice, and same technique apply, heavy extra fast spinning rod, strong drag reel and 50+ braid.
J Francho reply :
I guess it's good to have a video showing this, which is a flip-pitch, not technically a flipping. I personally don't bother with pulling the line from between the guide and the reel, and simply pitch it. Since my left (or free) hand is free to feather the spool, I get better accuracy, with less work.
LMB ANGLER reply :
this is a very informative video for the people that use spinning gear like myself 
BASS959 reply :
Excellent technique. I use it every time I am fishing. It is as useful and easy as using a baitcaster for the technique. Sometimes in close tight quarters the spinning outfit is a better "fit". Flippin' , pitchin' , or flip/pitch ---- call it what you will, add it to your techniques and learn the value. Thank you for the video.

Great video. I've heard of it but haven't seen such a good example. Thanks for sharing. I'll be using this quite a bit.

I don't know why anyone WOULDN'T try to learn some type of under hand pitch type cast with spinning gear. It's very useful.

Yep, sidearm, backhand work pretty easy too, seems easier to me than the video demonstration. Once the bait is in the air I think it hits with the same impact whichever gear is used.
J Francho reply :
Pitching is especially useful. It requires no back swing, and works great with cumbersome rigging like the drop shot.
LMB ANGLER reply :
correct. it is extremely helpful for the people that are using spinning gear. some people think that flip n pitch should only be for b/c and that's not true.
so the person that is new to fishing will get confused because alot of people will tell the new fisher man to buy a baitcaster and forget the flipping on the spinner, thats why i post this video to show that (yes you can) its possible with spinning gear
J Francho reply :
It's just a cast, nothing else. If what you do gets your bait in the zone, and it's comfortable to the point you don't have to think about it, then it's the right thing.

Yep this is what I do as well, don't see the purpose of holding the line. But good video, and a very important technique. I do this all the time when fishing close in to cover for finicky fish. No good fishing finesse if your lure hits the water like a bowling ball from 30 yds away. I do this with weightless Senkos, dropshots, and shakey heads. Especially useful when sight fishing if you can get the distance to not spook the fish.
I'm enjoying learning to do more with my baitcaster a. But this video shows that you can execute effective techniques with spinning gear with the right equipment and be successful.

Why do you have such a chip on your shoulder about using spinning gear?

its not about having a chip on my shoulder about spinning gear, i just feel that people dont see lots of advantage on spinning gear, people rarely think about flippin with a spinning reel. people automatically think baitcaster, so i post this video in a positive way just showing people, look yes you can use spinning. I like to show and help people, but i feel that people already made up their mind 
roadwarrior reply :
I fish both, but have a strong bias for one over the other. For me it breaks down like this:
Spinning tackle: Light line, soft plastics and live bait
Baitcasting gear: Heavier line and everything that involves a "moving" retrieve.
I think the retrieve is much more comfortable using baitcasters.
Brian Needham reply :
I don't pitch much with the spinning gear, but I do skip.

I am going to buy myself a baitcaster set up tomorrow since everyone tells me to get one, i hope i like it. i will get a what people call (broomstick) because im a broomstick kind of guy, i like them as strong and heavy as they come.
SirSnookalot reply :
What Francho said is right, just a matter of getting your bait where you want it, the "zone". The names of the methods are just words, the gear is irrelevant as long as what you are using works for you. I have nothing against b/c I just prefer spinning.
kschultz76 reply :
Nothing wrong with spinning gear at all, it can be very versatile and handle many techniques well. Fishing success is often about comfort and confidence. If spinning gear makes you more comfortable and more confident then you should go with it. Using gear that makes you uncomfortable and lack confidence just because others said is a recipe for poor results.

Flipping doesn't use the reel, pitching does.
