Favorite soft plastic to pitch and flip?

Solidbad · 03-28-10, 09:38 PM

I do alot of pitchin and flippin into heavy cover areas with soft plastics like worms, lizards, craws, and others, and i was wonderin what yall's favorite soft plastics are for this kinda thing.

bassinbob · 03-28-10, 09:41 PM

My favorite is the Strike King Wild Thang. In junebug for stained water. I also have a lot of luck with Sweet Beavers. Different colors depending on the water clairity.

Rebbasser · 03-28-10, 09:56 PM

A tube, Zoom Brush/Super Hog or a beaver type bait. I prefer a compact bait-I think a tube is my favorite.

Solidbad · 03-28-10, 10:00 PM

Thanks yall, I like those too. I've especially had success on the zoom brush hog.

Jrob78 · 03-28-10, 10:12 PM

I really like using beaver baits for flippin/pitching.

Haha, you're definitely from Texas!!

BigBassin144 · 03-28-10, 10:15 PM

Ok, I don't do much flipping, but when I do, I've got a Chigger Craw tied on probably 90% of the time.

A lot of my buddies have great luck on the Beaver type baits, so I'm going to give them a try this year, along with brush hogs. I got some of both types on clearance this winter so I guess I gotta try them now.

I've also done a bit of pitching in lighter cover with a 4" Powerbait Power Worm.

Same here except I would also add a Flappin Hog and a Baby Brush Hog. Baby Brush Hog is probably my favorite.

keithdog · 03-29-10, 07:15 AM

Bob Smith · 03-29-10, 07:46 AM

I looked at those Mega Craws at Academy tonight, good looking baits! You stirred my memory, I have also had good results on Grande Bass Mutants, Lake Fork Creatures, Zoom Super Speed Craws and Berkley Chigger Craws.

I know my Texas brothers have probably seen the GrandeBass products before.
Jrob, try T-rigging the 4.5" Rattlesnake for pitching and flipping too. It also works great on shakey heads and spot stickers/spot removers!

GrandeBass makes a great product! I've had success fishing the Rattlesnakes on t-rigs and weightless and the Baby Rattlesnakes on c-rigs. The mutants are by far my favorite multiple appendage creature bait. Good stuff!

rrw4258 · 03-30-10, 11:11 AM

My flipping and pitching baits include:
Senkos
Chigger Craws
Beaver Style Baits
Tubes
Paca Craws
Zoom Super Hogs

Frank C · 03-30-10, 09:40 PM

what type of sinker do you flip/pitch with? How heavy do you range from?

thanks
Frank

Bender · 03-30-10, 11:29 PM

I usually use 1/4-3/8 oz. unless it is very heavy and you need to punch through, then maybe up to 1/2-1 oz.

I like using a smaller bait like the Zoom Speed Craw (not super). Also RI Beavers and Baby Brush Hogs.
