Flipping from a kayak

Featured Replies

Mine still wobbles, but would be very hard to actually roll over.  I suppose the type of pontoons you have matters too.

Is it possible to do this without standing? Despite the fact that I’m still a reasonably ok athlete, I look like Bambi on ice trying to stand up in my kayak. And it’s not the kayak; that thing is a tank. 


Watch Greg Blanchard on YouTube with some of his summer delta videos. He has a sideways pitch which looks awkward and first but I’ve started really using it and it works great. For actual flipping, super easy as you don’t need to position the bait as much as swing the rod over and area and release the line you’re holding.

I tried the Blanchard way today and it works.  I do it lefty so my distance is regular. But accurate.

I actually pitch better this way (sidearmed) than doing it underhanded. It's just more comfortable, although direction can be more challenging. I'm used to it because there is always something on shore obstructing my pitches when I bank fish. I feel like a dork doing it the normal way because I suck at it kinda.

Yes. Practice the sidearm. You can skip that way too. I rarely flip. I've tried punching, but the weeds don't grow very deep here.
