Adding the pitch to your casting arsenal is essential in growing as an angler. Bank anglers who are just beginning their bass fishing journey will benefit greatly by practicing this method…EARLY! The pitch allows you to efficiently present your bait around wood laydowns, docks, brush, etc.
The subtle underhand method of pitching is key to getting a FINicky bass to BITE! This video will cover everything from where to hold the bait, how to move your rod, and some tips to help avoid backlashes!
******* COMMENT BELOW *******
Do you flip/pitch? Do you still have troubles with this method of casting?

Debo, You are the man!!! I've improved so much sense I started watching you. I have the speed demon swim-bait rod any future videos with this one ? one other ? why don't you have at least a million subs your like that one awesome teacher I had in High school please keep this going Ty

[@DEBOSFishing]

Rob West agha thank you VERY much man. THIS is why I do it! It means so much to me when I hear people are becoming better anglers because of my content! I've only got the frog rod and flipping rod in the pro series. Tight lines brother!

[@suncoaster8578]

DEBO👍🏻

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@suncoaster8578 thanks for watching man 👊

[@adamwilson4834]

Yep, just hooked myself with a frog practicing before i watched this

[@carlfrase8097]

Adam Wilson I had a friend wanting to try my baitcaster (has never used one before and I decided to take a break and sit down to eat and I showed him a couple of times how it works) so I’m sitting there eating and drinking and he his next to me about to cast and right when he swings the frog around bam!!! Hooks me in the back of the head and causes a hell of a backlash lmfao... his face was priceless!!!!

[@itsnotme8047]

When I read this I just started laughing

[@hunterstinnett1287]

Omg same

[@richyoung4051]

@@carlfrase8097 that reminds me of that video of these 2 dudes fishing on a boat and the one dude kept fucking whipping the other guy. once in the back and once in thr back of the head 😅🤣

[@ironforge039]

So many words and so few breaths. You’re brilliant. I love it.

[@stevenelmer4791]

That was seriously the most educational video I have seen without being too drawn out. This is why I love your stuff.

[@woodpile20]

Wow just seeing this out of the box kzbin.infoUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.

[@p.d.dinkles9592]

Debo: Another “Classic Debo”, that I have saved to my favorites amongst many other classic “Debo’s” that I watch repeatedly, and which I glean over and over again, those choice morsels of fishing wisdom. Again, with the highest praise for the impulse to teach, you are a Teacher.

[@Schnozwangler]

Dude your videos on baitcasters has changed the way I fish, I used to just have it as a back up incase my spinner had problems, now im running the baitcaster as a primary and just using the spinner for follow ups and finesse👍👍🇺🇸. Thank you!

[@greggjohnson6861]

Thanks for another great explanation, your helping my kids because they won’t listen to me. I’m learning too😊

[@DEBOSFishing]

Gregg Johnson hahah you're welcome! I'm still learning too my man! Thanks for watching!

[@MrDababysdaddy]

I know this is a couple of years old... but, just started about a year ago, getting serious, and using baitcasters full time. I’m still casting every time! This is a great video!! Thanks bro!

[@derekhively1210]

I cant explain how much this helped me lol. Just got my first baitcaster a month ago & the learning curve is annoying,engaging, & fun all at once🤙

[@jameswegman1256]

I really appreciate your "how to" vids! Really great help, never was any good with a casting reel, but after watching you, I can really see the improvement! Thanks!!!!!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

So cool to hear that man. Get on the water and keep practicing. Hope you catch some biggins. Thanks for supporting my channel man👊

[@757bigbear]

one of the best teachers out there! you make it simple and understandable

[@Zjudoransj]

Love the vid! I found out due to experience that throwing from the wrist can cause pain when throwing some heavier lures, but I don’t know if this also counts for you bass fishers. When it comes to pike however, you might want to change it up a bit. For example letting your rod butt sit against your forearm. This will save you alot of pain if you’re throwing 2 oz + baits

[@gregmcmain8092]

Debo , I like your videos , you explain your self in a way the other videos dont , I am becoming a better fisherman because of them .

[@escrtn84]

Dude. Turning the reel sideways made all the difference. No one ever pointed that out before. Thanks

[@marcsciarrotta3109]

Debo, I just started using a baitcaster reel. I know it's an older video of yours but thanks for the info. Gonna get out in my yard and practice before I go out in the reel world. Much appreciated!!

[@luckyx16]

I am still working through your videos, and learning more and more with each one. Thanks Debo, your videos are appreciated, and informative.

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're welcome man and thanks for watching!

[@LukeBarnes5150]

Debo that's why I will always come back to your videos. You helped me in casting my baitcaster now I have something new to practice with your teaching. Seriously, thank you man.

[@DEBOSFishing]

That's awesome to hear that man. I'm happy to help! 👊👊👊

[@timyoung9696]

Thank you for your content I have been fishing trout for a little while but I want to try the bass fishing. I've always been afraid of a baitcaster reel because of backlash watching your video has certainly helped me and will improve my game when I start fasting thank you so very much

[@HeyLookWhatICanDo]

Perfect timing! I was on The struggle Bus all yesterday trying to pitch and needed some help. thanks for coming to the rescue with the wrist movement I was the guy with my hand and a handshake position this has helped out a lot.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'm happy to hear that my video helped out! Like anything new, it's all about repetition! Thanks for watching and good luck on the water!

[@jjqapex]

Too funny AND very informative. Great teachers know how to entertain, as well as, instruct. I had seen this video before but thought that I would give it a second look to pick up on the smaller details. Awesome stuff. Thanks

[@TheDefiantClone]

WOAH! Wild seeing you with longer hair and how much you have changed your presenting style. You have an awesome ability to present topics with a level of insight and fun! Appreciate you taking the time to help everyone.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man, that really does mean a lot to me. Thanks for watching!

[@long400exable]

after watching your videos I've actually switch to baitcasters for bass fishing in the last month or so and I can see a big change in my casting just by watching your videos and your pointers they help a lot thank you very much . Your the man debo

[@DEBOSFishing]

That's freaking awesome man. These comments make my day. Glad I could help you out my friend 👊👊👊

[@ThatOtherRaccoon]

Amazing maestro! I've seen vids where they let the line out but I always thought that it was so that they wouldn't pull the lure back when they back away from the bank. I never realized that it was so the lure would drop straight down. Wow..thanks alot man this video was very insightful!

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're welcome, glad the info helped out. Thanks for watching 👊

[@fishingwithvin]

I had to come back to finish the last minute or so of this video that I started watching like a week an a half ago. Long story short I had to get surgery for an icd and during my first week of recovery two weeks ago that's when I watched this and I had to wait a week to fish again. Sooooo as soon as I could get back at it I was trying this at the lake and I've been getting better an better at it since. I'm 41 and never knew till now how ppl did pitching an flipping so thank you Debo for making these instructional videos you've madr an slightly older guy like me happy!

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're welcome man, hope it helps! Just takes some consistent practice!

[@bradymcdonald3591]

Got out today using these tips. Caught a couple lil guys on a small vegetationy pond. I was also using both of my new kastking reels. Worked like a charm! Thanks man!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Brady McDonald that's awesome man, glad to hear that! Congratulations on that PB too! We need to get out sometime!

[@masfishing1]

Debooooooo, great how to video. Thx for taking the time to do this video for us. Your informative and entertaining.

[@seizedcarcass8440]

Can’t deny what the DEBO says!! Great video.

[@ericlin4016]

Haha I was self taught. I saw the pros doing it and I began practicing and practicing. Backlash after backlash, spooked fish after spooked fish, and I finally got it down!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Cardea that's often times the best way to do it. Jump in and learn to swim. The nice thing about seeing someone else's view is that you may find ways to change. Small things that you didn't think about and it can make a difference. We're all always learning! Thanks for watching man!

[@dallasedc2976]

Idk why it took me so long to find this channel but this has been the BEST tutorial On bass fishing I’ve ever seen...so much GREAT info, thanks!

[@jdmcarboy64]

Learning to pitch I grabbed a big swim bait with a shanked hook, 3 seconds later I was setting the hook........ Into my thumb past the barb into my nerv ending. Lesson learned.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yikes! Yeah, definitely have to be careful with treble hook lures!

[@Volcomej1]

Lol yeah I think I’m gonna try to lurn this in the yard with just a weight

[@ppbowers]

I have done that. I was watching Jacob Wheeler and I saw him pitch a spinnerbait under a dock. I said to myself I can do that. A couple months later I thought about that and tried it, and I got a treble hook deep past the barb of the hook.

[@kyleoutdoors1457]

Finally I can learn this I just bought my first bait caster and rod ive never got this down yet 😆 thanks for the advise debo you have become my top 5 to watch awesome you do great videos

[@DEBOSFishing]

That's so cool to hear man. Appreciate that my vids have helped so many folks out.👊👊👊

[@KennyFishbone]

Awesome Thanks. I'm 5' 6", my rod down pitch was digging the tip. Side pitch made it better!

[@brendonthompson9949]

Another great video for those of us just learning to use a baitcaster...unbelievably helpful!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Love hearing that these vids are helping! Good luck on the water my man!

[@chrisstroot7221]

Debo! Thank you man. I watched this video yesterday and again this morning because for some reason I felt like I learned something I hadn't before. Tonight was windy and cold out (I'm in central Maine) but I had to try out some pitching. I went to a friend's dock where I didn't expect to catch anything and I didn't but I did do some of the best pitching I have done. I don't know what you said that Gene Jensen or Matt Alan or any other that I have watched didn't say already but somehow you got threw to me.

[@conArtistAUS]

Thank mate!! The backhand "tennis" tip helps so much with a softer entry!!!

[@geraldbergevin1544]

Wonderful video. I need to watch it 100 times. A former tennis player, I find the backhand suggestion especially helpful.

[@wefish7759]

This was super helpful loved it have an awesome week everyone and keep fishing

[@kanelee1871]

Thanks for the video. Just got back into bass fishing this year and sometimes bank fishing can be a challenge around trees. Can’t wait to practice some of this.

[@DEBOSFishing]

This is a great technique when there are a lot of trees overhead. Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@Ken-eh4hh]

Awesome video on this subject. I've been needing to learn this technique badly. This is one technique I've never took the time to master. I'm going to now. Thanks for this very useful tip.

It definitely comes in handy on the water. Good luck and thanks for watching 👊

[@tiffsaver]

Thank you so much for this instructional video. I can't wait to use your technique, because I think I've been using too much ARM when pitching, and getting a lot of backlashes. Thanks again!

You're welcome, hope this helps out man. Have a good week!

Debo, you are an excellent angler, a really decent teacher and entertaining to watch so I really look forward to your videos! Often I learn something but am am always amused. That being said, I have one suggestion for you; When you are out fishing you had better be checking the tress for squirrels because they are going to think you are a nut! Lol Stay awesome, Tight Lines!

[@totalannihilation9065]

I really like your videos. Because of your birdnests video I learned how to set my baitcaster and barely get any. I unknowingly pitched and flipped in heavy cover it's easier on the rod it looks like at least in my opinion. Very good technique.

Az Scout ABSOLUTELY! Arm up, follow through, etc. Everyone tweaks it a bit, it's truly an art. Thanks for watching man!

[@McLovin-ib2ew]

man this is awesome im so glad i found your channel i went out with my baitcaster and i had to cut off about 100 yards of line because i got really bad birdnests. i appreciate your help and your examples are awesome

[@DEBOSFishing]

That's what it's about man, helping fellow anglers. Appreciate you watching my friend!

[@carlfrase8097]

Mc Lovin Idk if you know this ( or if you birds nest was that bad) but if you pull the line out and it stops... look for the other line in your spool that looks like a “v” pull that line out some and then go back to your main line.. you should be able to get all your line fixed

[@shawnbeck2303]

Hey, Debo's! My Quantum ACCURIST PT S3 reel has a flipping switch on the reel. Once you let off the cast button it engaged the reel. Makes it a really nice way to flip soft baits or jig's. Mamy people don't like Quantum reel's. But I find it's a bang for the buck reel. $100.00 reel. You can flip the switch back to regular casting in a snap. Basically 2 reel's in one! Why pay more for less. Nice VIDEO. Shawn

[@kidiraq8381]

Ok, I literally can’t find a video on this topic I haven’t watched, but after watching yours, the lightbulb went off! I’ve been working on this all year and skipping but I shall not speak of such witchcraft needed for that at this time🤭. Was out till my arm went numb today. Why couldn’t I get it down, why was it so hard??? It wasn’t, after watching your video I realized I was overthinking it and taking it wayyy to serious!!! The thumb, the THUMB!!!!!! Def deserving of a like n sub Brother! I appreciate it! Now about that skipping skipping......😪🤷‍♂️

Debo you are the man!. I watch a lot of the how to videos, but I find myself thinking... Why aren't these guys actually catching something while trying to show the how to?

I'm glad I subscribed. Your awesome I'll keep watching your videos for time to come. Thanks.
