What is your favorite flipping bait?

Featured Replies

I have been flipping jigs into cover such as lillypads, stickpiles, weeds etc, and Ive been catching some nice fish like this. But this just made me think of what else makes a good flipping bait. I was thinking of maybe trying a GYCB Kreature pegged with a bullet weight. What flipping baits work well for you other then jigs?

I love flipping tubes, Berkley Power Hawgs, Sweet Beavers, and Yum Wooly Hawgtail.

sweet beaver is my go to flippin bait, but I find when the bass are buried under the mats, getting to them is primary

the particular plastic is secondary.

Tubes, some reason i dont catch anything with anything else....chalk it up to poor technique and tubes dont need any technique i guess

Sweet Beaver
 ??   when did fishing cross over into the porn industry??!

Gambler Hibdon Series Flippin' Tube.    Not even sure if they make it anymore (I bought a ton of them....hopefully enough to last a loooong time) - - superbly designed bait.

Most of their baits have very suggestive names.

That being said, there quality and bass catching ability are second to none.

I just won our Classic with the help of a custom made 3/8 Harsh Hedz jig and a new Strike King Rage Tail trailor. Very sweet combo. I flipped it up in some weeds on the shore.

My favorite is a jig/craw.  I also like 5" tubes and a 6" Producto Tournament worm for flipping.

1/2 oz Oldhams Trailer Hitch jig with Zoom Super Chunk.

For Plastics, I'd say a Sweet Beaver or a Prowler Flippin Tube, both with 3/8 oz weight and 3/0 EWG Gamakatsu.

I really like ZOOM baby brush hogs, Netbait paca craws, and sweet beavers for flipping in heavy cover.

However when confronted with more sparse cover I will switch to 5/16 or 1/4oz jig.

I like a 1/2oz strike king pro series or a 1/2oz war eagle. Green pumpkin and black/blue are my favorite colors.

i love to flip baby brush hogs, sweet beavers, tubes and  chigger craws, and lots of other things but those are my favs , the chigger craws have been producing well lately though

Definitely a rattl'in jig and the new Strike King Rage Tail chunk.  Will sometimes pinch the rage tail craw for a trailer if I need a slightly larger or longer presentation.  Gets smacked alot.

I've got an entire box with flippin jigs.  Haven't caught a fish on one yet but the day is coming.  My partner catches bass left and right on jigs.  I just don't use them as often as he does.  He fished a couple of tournaments with some pros and learned a lot about finesse jigs.

"WE" (my partner & I) prefer Eakins jigs in 3/16 to 7/16oz. finesse jigs.  We've recently switched to spider jigs because the wire brush gaurd is less visible in clear water and offers a smaller profile.  As for colors, usually some type of green combo.  If I can find a good green with purple flake, I'd be on it like a tic on a hound.  That would be a killer color combo.  They make it, just hard to find locally.

You guys would either clean house on my lake or catch nothing at all using brush hogs and other bigger baits.  You've got my curiosity up now though.  We finesse fish all the time so I'll have to try the larger profile baits since this time of year, the bass go after large prey when they are feeding.

when i flip, i never use a jig. i use a 1/2 0z. tungsten pegged with a 5/0 ewg gama with a baby paca craw. i will swim a jig, but never have i flipped a jig.

T9 recently turned me on to the Chigger craws and they are quickly becoming one of my favorite flippin baits 8-)

I really like the Paca Chunks the action on them is insane, but the claws break off pretty often, any solutions to this problem? I don't think there even worth using if the claws are going to just keep comin off, going to be too expensive havin to keep buyin new packs.

Flipping a Zoom Super Hog or an *** Beaver Craw with a 1/4 oz screw-in sinker, and a gamy superline hook  on 65 pound braid  :)

By the way, what size hook you using when flipping them chigger craws?

2/0 wide gap gammy superline.

What flipping baits work well for you other than jigs?

Sorry, you just can't flip without a Jig. Look at the answers to your original question. More than half of responders can't seem to flip with out some kind of jig. LOL :)

BTW - For me, my favorite for flipping & pitching (other than jigs) is an Arkie jig with Uncle Josh Black Widow Eel.  ;)  ;D
