Hey guys/girls, ive gotten my into bass fishing in the past recent months, so im still new.

Could you explain to me what flipping/flipping and pitching is??

Thanks!

Flipping - (generally shortened to flippin') The technique of placing a lure in a given spot precisely, and quietly, with as little disturbance of the water as possible using an underhand cast while controlling the line with your hand.

Pitching - Presentation technique in which worms or jigs are dropped into cover at close range with an underhand pendulum motion, using a 6 1/2 to 71/2 foot baitcasting rod. The act of pitching a bait into a pocket or under tree limbs. Similar to flipping, but requires less stealth and usually done from further distances (known as pitchin').

There is a fishing glossary under the tools section above. Hope this helps.

If you want to learn these techniques, search for some videos of them online. It is much easier to understand the techniques when watching someone do them.
