Pitching Pit Bosses

Featured Replies

In yalls opininon what's yalls best way to pitch ad flip vernier pit bosses...how do y'all rig them?

I'll flip and pitch them on a texas rig. I'll generally use a 3/16 oz-3/8 oz weight depending on the type of the cover and I use a 4/0 gamakatsu EWG Superline hook.

Usually i'm pitching moderate grass, pencil reeds, docks, or wood and in those circumstances I texas rig them with a 3/8-1/2 oz weight.  

 

If the cover is sparse i'll drop down to 3/16-1/4 oz.

 

In heavy cover i'll bump up to a 3/4-1.25oz weight and peg it using a bobber stop. 

 

Hook wise I like a 4/0 straight shank hook. 

I'm pretty much like the first two guys, if I'm just pitching it to laydowns, boat houses, or sparse cover usually use a 5/16 weight. If I'm flipping it I'll go 3/4 for about 80% of my grass fishing. I use a straight shank for flipping and usually an ewg style for everything else. Sometimes I might use an Owner twistlock. I always peg my weight.

Look up the "Snell knot", use it on a 4/0 straight shank hook. Use a bobbed stop to peg a 1/8-1/2 oz weight. My tip... pitch it out there, do the jiggle hop thing for a couple feet then swim it back with some exaggerated pumps.

I fish them with a 1/4 or 3/8 ounce weight and a 4/0 EWG hook on a Trig. I use the 1/4oz, unpegged, for pitching to laydowns, docks, and rocks. I use the 3/8oz, pegged, for pitching in weeds.

Palomar knot is good enough IMO. 

4/0 Gammy offset EWG with a pegged weight from 1/4-3/4 oz depending on conditions. Pit Boss is one of my all time favorite lures!
