also watch kevins video on jigs. watch how he flips and pitches. great video.

and that last video is a great one i think as well. i bought a spinning reel for pitching and flipping......but the wife stole from me and uses it now. oh well, back to feed the monkey huh? hahahahaha.

I am having trouble pitching with my baitcaster (lots of Backlashes) Is this a technique I should generally use with just a spinning rod? Or do I need to losen my brakes? When I pitch out the line jerks back because the breaks kick in. Any suggestions? Thanks guys!!

I turn my brake down really low and really thumb the spool to prevent backlash

i would just play with it in the yard untill you get it the way you like.
i put a cup in the yard and start at 20ft and work my way back

Which line are you using? Fluorocarbon backlashes more than mono or braid. Also, make sure you're fishing a bait that's heavy enough to pull the line off the spool fast enough to stay ahead of the revolving spool.

event if your using a light jig should be able to adj your reel

10lb floro is what im using.

Nick - when you make the quietest entry possible then you know you're doing it right, there isn't one right way to do either.

Will - start with 1/2 oz weight or heavier first and then go lighter with the weight as you get better. set your breaks so that the lure falls slowly to the floor and when it hits it doesn't backlash.

i agree with what sbk said. i have 3 trees that i practice pitching under in my yard, and 2 dog food bowls that i cast at.

i also practice pitching under my truck to simulate a pier. needless to say i have a lot of dents in my truck.lol
