Lots of detailed information here. Grateful he took the time to make it.

 

 

Thank you for sharing, I still practice, it’s a skill that I like to keep sharp.

Great info! I’ve always felt like if struggled with pitching because of being short. I kind of developed a little side arm twirl. I am generally fairly accurate with it but, still have some casts where I’m like him how did I get there. I am going to try the less line out tactic.

Me too, plus I have a leg issue, so I do it from sitting a lot. Make me even shorter

Going to try that too….

I’m also been looking to taller seat post.

Due to back problems, I have been flipping and pitching sitting down for years.

Some excellent Info, glad it was posted.

I feel like pitching and flipping need to be discussed along with skipping and roll casts because to me, mastering these 4 casting techniques is the key to shallow water bass fishing success.

 

I feel I personally get the most mileage these days out of roll casts for short accurate quiet target casting around/under/into shallow cover.

 

I feel like I can be more efficient and accurate and be a little further back when I focus on good roll casts.

 

I like flipping on beds a LOT.  Not really a more efficient way of repeatedly presenting a bait to aggressive bed fish.

 

Pitching is good when I'm picking apart partially submerged or fully submerged pieces of cover where I need a more vertical presentation.

 

Skipping is obviously king anytime there's something you need to get a bait back and underneath that is low to the water.

 

I think that pitching is one of the best exercises you can do to develop cast control that will help with more advanced techniques like skipping underhanded roll casts.
