Several months back I watched one of your videos where you had mentioned Sportsman's Outfitters. I pretty much buy all of my fishing gear there now. Cheapest place I've bought from! Next purchase I make I'll definitely click on the link from one of your videos.

[@anelson6444]

ALF fishing I cheaper, their tungsten is the cheaper anywhere else!

[@Chris-fh8uh]

Bad part is they raised a lot of their prices unfortunately! Use to buy alot from them

[@sethhess6655]

Heres a massive tip. If you arent flipping INTO cover do NOT peg your texas rig. It kills the action in open water. You want that weight to slide and hit bottom first. Letting the bait float down more naturally. the majority of your bites will come on the fall or just after you hop it for a reason. Use as light of a weight as possible as well.

[@chafer8444]

Great video Tyler! You always open my eyes to new things or seen things in new and different ways. Keep on pumping out awesome content for us to learn from!

[@giuseppemusket]

Ty is so good at his craft. Him fishing is always great to watch and learn from but his production abilities and video format for making things very understandable are some of the best on KZbin.

[@BassFishingHQ]

I appreciate the kind words! I put a lot of work into videos so it makes me happy to see comments like this!

[@kylemolletfishing9123]

Your trolling motor theory is absolutely true and I agree with you completely. It's actually one the most valuable things that I have learned about fishing. They feel it from a long, long distance and they get used to it, so it doesn't startle them like it would if you are starting and stopping it. Great video bud.

[@mp5kfisher241]

I took a 17-18 year break from fishing, i had lost my bass boat from a divorce i had and then got my spine blown out so i was pretty much handicap and legs were paralyzed untill surgery and many years of therapy. So i bought a new bass boat last October and didn’t upgrade the trolling motor, i had no idea what was out their in choices of TM’s because i lost touch with fishing and products. I got a MK Edge as the standard TM and lord that thing is loud, i cant adjust the shaft length etc etc. im saving up for a new MK TM.

[@vivalabad6]

Your videos are SUPER helpful. Too often anglers are hustling and trying to sell things to you in their videos, but you're straight to the point and everything you've said makes perfect sense and matches my real-life experiences !!!

[@BassFishingHQ]

I appreciate the kind words @vivalapets

[@scottvermonter920]

Love the way you explain things Tyler easy to understand! As always excellent content Sir!

[@rodcashman4793]

Fantastic job explaining these baits . Thank you

[@dustinsmartfishing]

Great video! F/P may be my favorite technique… you nailed it with the combat analogy. Nothing like fighting a big bass out of nasty cover!

[@chrisboyd1408]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Ty. I learned alot from this. I'm new to flippin & pitchin.

Great Bass Fishing Technique On Things I Just Didn't Know !!! Anxious to try these New (To Me) Technique's!!!

[@bobpayseno7481]

Very excellent information- thanks! 🙂👍🏻

[@drewbarnabei8477]

Great tips. I have used braid quite a bit when our lakes flood and there is a lot of buck brush in the water. Fish will get in them or behind them. The branches are small and fluorocarbon has too much stretch for it but braid will break the branches when you hook a fish. I agree 100% with using fluorocarbon around more solid wood though

[@Oldbasshole]

Another great video . Not a technique I use a ton but I am going to try more this season

[@TheTylerjames74]

Awesome video man!!

[@richardsousa2625]

Man your “after work” time line for these videos always gives me something to study and relax with after a day in the office

[@kelvinlloysellis5976]

A really good informative video and from my personal experience you have made some very good points all of which I agree with. You should add the hookset to that. A snap hookset hardly moves the fish from that cover you need to really lean into the fish to move his head and head him in the right direction also clean your hands!! I have lost many fish from oily hands when putting on a new bait.

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great tips thank you

[@johnbutler307]

That trolling motor tip is true AF

[@jones10121970]

honesty is great

[@koof1776]

Excellent~

[@joegrande4848]

I pitch pretty well an cast well. My pitching needs work, sadly sometimes the line shoots straight up an smashes back down on the water. It's probably flipping too hard an letting line go alittle too late. When warmer weather comes back I'll work more on all my techniques more for sure. I know also alot of lures I need work on executing the action. Jerkbaits, Texas rigs Carolina rigs underspins, chatterbait square bill. Sadly it's alot, but its only my 3rd back after not being able fish for several years due to circumstances. Hopefully after a few more years I'll be a more skilled fisherman

[@thetexanist]

Awesome content!! Are you from Texas?

[@davehorn1422]

Solid advice, that braid will cut into wood and its a wrap

[@LowBrowFishing]

I absolutely agree about the baits not really mattering that much and especially the trolling motor! A lot of guys pull in at WOT, and drop that trolly on 10 and just rocket around everywhere. The trolling motor has lower settings for a reason. Another big thing for me is pitching techniques. If I'm on an open hydrilla mats, I don't have to be as precise, but if I'm flipping into flooded brush, accuracy matters. You have to keep that bait low to the water and not skyrocket it. It's something you have to practice. I did a couple of videos on it 😉.

[@s.gaflytying3115]

Smooth plug lmao

[@LowBrowFishing]

@@s.gaflytying3115 😎

[@BenLillegard]

Just gonna sliiiiiiiide that plug in there. Nice. 😂

[@f86sabjf]

I can verify that the low speed constant . I fish or redfish in 10-14 inches of water all day with my trolling motor but I rarely adjust the speed

[@brandonsmith606]

This is a technique that I must master we only have thick cover in the summer but I know there's fish in There

[@FishingWithDamon]

Another sick video I am so hyped for our bass fishing season starting in 3 weeks here in 🇨🇦 we still have ice over our water eh can’t wait for the trout and bass season eh tabernac. We will be up to our tits in bass this season eh!

[@jamescaspersamanthalintner4767]

Hey it up purple Pearl colored beaver in the thumbnail what is it and where did you get it is that a reaction innovations beaver? Yamamoto used to make that color they still do and they're sanko they used to make it in a cowboy but you can't get them anymore I love that purple pearl color thanks man.

[@24-7flounderproblem]

I am a inshore saltwater guy new subscriber..just one ?..do I use a weight peg/stopper when flipping?I am in East Central Fla fishing deep hydrilla in local ponds..thx and God bless.

[@BassFishingHQ]

In grass situations I typically do peg the sinker

[@snakeclips]

The saw theory with braided line is an old notion that people still cling to , most braids now are made nice and smooth and doesn't hang any more than filament line, it's just not true , fishing braid to leader is way more sensitive and durable than fishing straight mono or fluorocarbon lines and less finicky on your reel, and easier to pick backlashes 😉

[@jividenpower8195]

Braid will cut your skin fast. I use braid to leader

[@pppaulie73]

If I know I'm going to be flipping for a significant amount of time, I turn off my electronics. Don't need them. Adds extra noise.

[@robertryan1380]

that swing at 1:10 made me smile

[@DavidBronstein1961]

Surprised you didn’t get into hook choice. I know lots of guys like snelled straight shank, some like EWG. I’m a beginner to this technique so I lean towards keeping it simple at least at start and using EWGs, since they serve multiple purposes and I don’t have to learn a new knot (not that it looks very hard). Thoughts?

[@theangleraquarist]

Ewg is good for just about everything, but for flipping, use a snelled straight shank if you can as the hookup ratio is better

[@logangraves4700]

Sounded like “Most of the time, it doesn’t matter what you flippin pitch” lol😂😂

[@joegrande4848]

Sadly I've tried lightening my weight so there's less splash an slower rate of fall but sadly lose alot of distance 😕

[@unicornsteaks6769]

@BassFishinhHQ Do you have an opinion on hook type? I tend to prefer a superline EWG hook because the point is not always poking through the plastic and getting hung in cover.

[@theangleraquarist]

The key with round bend and straight shanks it to rig it where the hookpoint is right ABOUT to penetrate the plastic. Keeps it weedless and amazing hookup ratio

[@unicornsteaks6769]

@@theangleraquarist yeah, I do that. I’ll rig the EWG up with the hook all the way through and then skin hooked. Anything bites down the hook is exposed. I just don’t prefer a flipping hook because the seem to work out of the plastic more often.

[@catchofthedave8681]

Man, I fish out of a kayak... and being stealthy is one of the main things. when i come to a flipping stretch, I turn my sonar on sleep mode, i don't use the motor, i use the pedal drive and i pedal very slowly. etc.

[@catchofthedave8681]

also with braid, i only use braid if im punching super thick mats. i use fluoro in thick cover, i use braid in lilly pads and hyacinth...thick floating that I punch through. i use fluoro for everything else.

[@danielin1880]

When you're pitching and flipping, what are your real settings? What is your spool tension set at and what are your brakes set to?

[@svanginault]

I like to loosen both up quite a bit and using my thumb to slow and stop. . I know you're asking him but just letting you know what I do

[@danielin1880]

@@svanginault I appreciate the reply. I do that as well, but I find it hard not to backlash. I need more practice

[@kylemolletfishing9123]

That is going to be different with different weights, and it will also change as your level of experience changed too. You just have to find what works best for you and practice, practice, practice.

[@theangleraquarist]

@@danielin1880 tighten the breaks all the way and same with spool tension then practice overhand flipping and sidearm and SLOWLY loosen

Little known fact, flipping and pitching are 2 very different techniques. Few people know what flipping actually is.

Please emphasize on your explanation of emphasizing pitch baits?

He’s just saying feeding fish will eat damn near anything you put in their face, worm, creature, jig etc

It's all marketing, same as all the infinite looney color combos. Most fools buy all 18 different jig and shakey heads too. They just sold you 18x the tackle. Congrats dummies.
