andamtoft reply :

reaction innovations sweet beaver in green pumpkin red flake or zoom super hog in green pumpkin and red, those were my two biggest producers this past season.

DEbassman17 reply :

You know I can't just pick one I would say jigs (black and blue or green pumpkin), beavers, GYCB Flappin' Hogs, Zoom Super Speed Craws, and 4" Chigger Craws.

tnbassfisher reply :

Zoom Brush Hawgs, don't do much pitching or flipping, but that is my go to if I do.

Chris reply :

1/2 oz All Terrain jig black/blue with either a 3x Strike King chunk or Uncle Josh pork chunk color Saphire blue, or same shade blue as the jig...black/yellow pork chunk for muddy water. I cut the hole side of the pork into a wedge shape to make it flap more on the fall. I also yank off the rattles that jig comes with and replace it with those spidar free moving rattles.

Bass XL reply :

Not too picky when it comes to this topic. But I'm a big fan of Sweet Beavers.

GRiver reply :

Strike king or Booyah jig with a Netbait Paca Chunk in green pumpkin or orange brown.

Primus reply :

My overall favorite is the Zoom Speed Craw, sinker size will very with cover density but I usually use a 1/2 or 3/4 Tru Tungsten. I also like the Zoom Baby Brush Hog, a R.I. Sweet Beaver or sometimes a flipping tube.

central.PA.bass reply :

Watermelon Red Baby Brush hog and 5" Green Pumkin Red senko

WCCT reply :

Western Creature(Norries Bug knockoff) with a peggeg 3/16 or 1/4oz tungsten weight.

Simp reply :

I'm usually throwing a jig with a Rage Lobster for a big presentation or a war eagle finesse jig the a trimmed rage claw for clear watter. Sometimes I'll also throw a texas rigged Rage craw. When the watter is colder I go to the Flappin hog or beavers.

Bankbeater reply :

I really don't have a favorite. I'll flip and pitch whatever I am using if its called for at the time.

brushhoggin reply :

junebug baby brushhawg of course, and the gycb flappin' hog is really growing on me. thanks roadwarrior

Good bait

angler1 reply :

Reaction Innovations sweet beaver in several different colors, depends on the clarity. If that's not working, I'll switch to a jig with a paca trailer, again, colors depend.

riverat reply :

1 - 3/8-1/2 oz. jig - black,blue, and orange skirt - w/Zoom Flippin' Blue Super Chunk or Sapphire Blue Super Speed Craw

2 - Larew's 4" Salt Craw or Sweet Beaver

1/2 oz MegaStrike black/blue or Brown/orange jig. This year I did not get out much but I had good luck pitching senkos this year.

bassdoctor88 reply :

Beaver bait bluegill color.

Hook Set reply :

Evolution jig

Sweet beaver

Aluma-Bass reply :

I like YUM 4'' vibra-tube black/blue on florida rigged "pegged weight" for both styles!

zbass reply :

Beaver style first, then craZcraw, then an Ika type bait. I pour all my own so colors change like the wind.

Uncle Leo reply :

I do not do much flipping but I like to pitch a Dirty Jig with Rage Tail Chunk. Weight and color varies by condition. This combination will always be pitched to a laydown or submerged tree along with dock posts.

flippin and pitchin reply :

Great question ! Jig-Booyah black blue w. Yum black blue trailer for stained and balck brown with green pumpkin Yum trailer for clear water. Plastics: Black blue Yum Wooly Bug for stained and green pumpkin for clear. A black neon Zoom Super Hog can sometimes be a sleep in tanic water. If you don't use a tungston weight, try it !

jacobhookem reply :

Here in Oregon we don't do much pitchin' but my favorite bait when I stumble upon a log or stick-up is probally a black and blue jig with a black and blue chigger craw trailer. I also like to pitch big coffee tubes in the backs of willow bushes.

EastTexasBassin reply :

Booyah boo jig or strike king hack attack jig with a ragetail lobster or gycb flappin hog.

T-rigged ragetail craw

ragetail spacemonkey

baby brushhog

and if all else fails...a ragetail baby craw on a finesse jig or a weedless shakey head jig.

Dock Master reply :

4" Chigger Craw in colors blue/black and green pumpkin.

Sweet Beavers aren't bad either in the same colors.

Don't pitch and flip jigs much because I don't have a lot of confidence in them.

southtexasbassin reply :

Booyah 3/4 oz A-Jig in nest robber color with a zoom chunk trailer in pumpkin. This jig has a lot of action. I really like the skirts on these jigs.

brushhoggin reply :

ANYBODY EVER CATCH ANYTHING WITH THESE WOOLEY HOG TAILS?

flippin and pitchin reply :

BRUSHHOGGIN, They are a great bait, one of my favorites. With that ribbed body, fish hold on to em'. The material is a little soft and the body is thin so a traditional EWG hook didn't work as well as I would have liked. I tried the Gammi skippin hook and it holds the body from sliding down. That match has been effective for me. The LPT seems to work. The tiny version can be a decent drop shot bait.

Happy 2010 !

Bassin_Fin@tic reply :

Paca craws in all sizes texas rigged with 1/4 to 3/4 oz.Colors depend on water clarity but green pumpkin or black and blue will pretty much do the job.

Another great choice for me,as far as pitching goes, is using a senko with a stout nail in the rear.It slips through laydowns,pads, and cattails with ease..(oops did I just say that? I thought these had to be fished weightless..) 8-)

Stringjam reply :

Gambler Hibdon Flipping Tube - - not sure if they discontinued this. Has incredible tentacle action - better than any other flipping tube I've used.

Hula-Grubs (yeah, old school....I still love them). As much as I love jigs, I find the hula-grubs come through sticky sloppy crap better - and give you the same skirty, short, bulky vibe. One of my favorite soft plastic baits in life. I also remember when these were component-baits (aka Bobby Garland Spider Jigs).

When I'm flipping clear water I also like whip out a straight-tailed worm.

Lastly, I haven't used this bait long, but I really like it so far.

XPS Crack Craw - those claws are really heavy, which make for an interesting action when you pop it around. I plan on using it a lot more this year.

Yeah Fin, that technique is an absolute must try. Soon as spring comes, I'm on it.

Q: Does this give it a little Flying Lure action?

Choke Canyon Boy reply :

I like to pitch 5 in yum dingers in Watermelon red or 10in Berkley Powerworms in Motoroil w red flake both texas rigged w 1/4oz bullet weight. I also like Zoom Speed worms in pumpkin or watermelon red with a 1/8 oz sinker. With the speed worms sometimes if i get no action on fall I swim them back to the boat as the paddletail has great action.

what is everyones favorite flipping or pitching bait and color?

I rarely flip but pitching is one of my favorite techniques in spring. I like to pitch a 3/8 oz jig with a modified zoom baby brush hog. I cut off the front just behind the arms, cut the claws to resemble a pair of claws, and thread it on the hook of the jig. This gives me the fall rate I like. As for color, that will depend on your lake. I fish Lake Fork which has a greenish tint so I go with a green (watermelon) jig and watermelon red flake trailer once the water temp reaches about 60. With a lower temp I use a black and blue set up. If your lake is more sandy color, then I would start with a brownish pumpkin color. I start with a color that is about the same as the lake, then as a change I go to a match the hatch color.

I prefer pitching over regular overhand casting in the spring as I have to hit a pie plate sized spot to get in the strike zone on most days. I pitch structure and need to make repeated casts to each stickup. If it is sunny, start on the shady side as they should be hanging tight.

Good Luck

A-Rob reply :

Last summer, definitely my jig & pig, I was using a strike king elite 3/4 oz jig with a zoom super salty chunk. That worked ALL the time.

I also threw some creature baits, which I plan on throwing more this summer instead of the jig; Beaver, Tiki bug, bass pro flippin' craw, Northland slurpie craw.

This summer i also picked up some strike king Game Hawg, a zoom super hog to add to the pile of flipping/pitching baits.
