How To Set Up for Flipping (and Pitching) | Kayak Bass Fishing

[@caseymclamb5890]

Learned a lot man, keep the videos coming!

[@glennchristie2316]

Finally !!! Someone is teaching me how to set-up my baits for Flippin ‘n Pitching for bass. I just purchased a 7’3” heavy rod and an 8 to 1 Reel. No instructions come with the reel so I have to search for videos to teach me. I never heard about “Line Stops” until this video. Also - I fish out of an Eddyline Caribbean kayak and don’t want to crowd myself out of what little space I have available. Thank You for making your technique simple and to the point. You have a new fan & I’m subscribing. Glenn in S. Central Florida

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks Glenn. Glad I could help

[@motomike007-1]

[@kayakengineer]

Two words: "Excellent Video"

[@SuperNitrohead]

Thanx Chad I needed that.

[@PKClark-qw5oq]

Nice work sir!

[@edwardhogsed3027]

WOW Great video. Thanks Chad you are the man!

[@larrystinson4194]

great video very helpful thanks

[@troyvonhall7418]

Great video!! Thanks!!

[@thomasminarik9588]

Awesome it's crazy no matter how old or much I think I know how much to learn and keep learning cool tips thanks

[@skiplovestofish6992]

Really great tips. I tried pitching a few times but I know I'll do better with your tips! Thanks

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks, glad I could help

[@timothylumb8680]

Thank you. Yesterday I missed 30 fish because I was fishing the top and they just hit it. Time to start punching and flipping. Trying it in my first online tourney Tuesday.

[@clarkrodgers739]

Thx so much for this video. There are lakes that get so matted in the summer I avoid them. I feel like my only option is a frog or Senko. You gave a lot of great to tips for me to try.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching

[@davemull4789]

Great tips Chad. Had never considered how important it is to let the plastic swing down first--always thought fish just grabbed the bait as it shot past and marveled at how fast they must be. Duh.

[@raulgodoy6232]

This was really helpful I have been fliping these last couple of days at my lake that i work at and ive been having some success but with these tips i think ill have a whole lot more I really injoyed the video thanks

[@ChadHooverFishing]

raul godoy thanks and glad you enjoyed it.

[@danmcgowan5801]

great vid. i use a snell knot but other then that I use about the same setup

[@ShobeBA]

Awesome info Chad. Is there anything you do different you when pitching a lighter bait?

[@ShobeBA]

Speaking more to the cast than setup

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Yes, I generally preload the rod by holding the hook shank and it lets me sort of “shoot” the bait out farther. Hope that makes sense.

[@supershrek33]

Good info as usual. I think you technique videos have gotten 10 times better this year. I love watching the guys who fish from regular boats just like anybody else, but you have an amazing ability to connect kayaking and fishing with all the techniques. Thanks so much looking forward to more content.

[@iftah111]

Great video! Why don’t you use a left hand reel?

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Because it would be backwards for me and how I fish.

[@mmtaxidermy08]

Sweet good video Chad. I will try that this weekend 👍. Nice burp too haha

[@alexdiaz2398]

Great vid and awesome tips but I wouldn’t say there’s only one knot for flippin because the snell knot gives you better hookup ratio but the Palomar is stronger so it’s off and on which one you decide to use

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Alex Diaz Yeap, but using Braid the Palomar is the way to go. If I were using heavy mono or even heavier flouro, I would use the Snell.

[@mikeperez4727]

Another fantastic video

[@jonnykaw]

Great introduction to flipping and punching. I'll have to give it a try this summer.

[@WorldsOkayestBusDriver]

PLEASE do a video on how to flip jigs & baits while sitting in a kayak. Not all of us can stand in a kayak, & getting the angle right while sitting in a kayak pushed by wind, waves, & obstacles makes it a puzzle to put it all together.

[@bkeenan85_outdoorlife]

Hi Chad, AND this is why I'm a big fan! Always learning and picking up new tips from you, thanks!!

[@BASSFISHINGMIC]

Bravo my friend great job

[@mikelusML]

Good stuff, picked up a few things that I never thought about before.

[@mdrook62061]

Try a menota rig for punching. The weight is below the bait so you can use less weight for more action

[@roooorey8978]

He's a very good instructor. Why Braided line tho? I've never used it. What's the importance m

[@1976hellbilly]

Smaller diameter to weight ratio. Also super sensitive.

[@unicornsteaks6769]

There is another knot for flipping. Snell the hook. Put a bead between the weight and the hook so the bead goes into the eye and causes the hook to flip up when you set it. A guide, whom you probably know, showed me that.

[@robertwhetstone5300]

Very informative Chad! Would you use an APR APXEC78H-MF or APXEC78XH-XF for punching? Looking at the Lew's Super Duty SDG1XHF for the reel.

[@beandipboiii2776]

Another great video from the man himself! Thanks for the info Chad!

[@Edge1775]

Good stuff Chad Thanks!!

[@Adventures101.]

hey Chad going to try your set up here .. what size hooks did you use for those lures.. did you use ... 5/0 ? thanks

[@matttucker5117]

I see your yak in the back ground do you store them outside? Also what weight was that you had on there

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Matt Tucker yes, most of the time I store them outside. That’s the Woo Tungsten Punching weight in 1.5 ounces

[@darrellsanbornjr2088]

Thanks. Going to try these suggestions out.

[@acnjshink]

Chad, Great rundown, you got that right about pairing the correct hook with the right #SoftPlastic. Thanks as always for providing us with great content.

[@devildog1971]

What do you think about using a Woo Bead in place of the second stopper? I started using it hoping that maybe that little clicking sound would add a little extra attraction and still keep the weight from bouncing into the bait.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

HavasuMark I like it and I have used that similar setup. I talked about it a bit in my Click Bait video. I definitely need to use it more to quantify the effectiveness. Great comment and suggestion.

[@fishdisc7022]

How do you set your reel for this? I can't get line to come off the spool cleanly doing short tosses like this.

[@shawnleonard7855]

Great Video! Love the weighted swimbait hook idea. Have you made or can you make a walking a frog from a sitting position in a kayak video?

[@tonyphillips5597]

I noticed you didn't use a leader. Is that your standard set-up. Do you ever use a leader for flippin and pitchin?

[@READERSENPAII]

i know this is old, but the reason you use heavy braid and no leader is because you're pulling a fish through heavy brush.

[@sinsofvorador]

Good vid chad. Great info. Wish there was matts around me where I could us this info. And the mustad hooks are the king. I use the grip pins on almost all my soft baits.

[@scottehrlich6653]

That was 30min of real help thanks for the valuable lessons. Bet you use those setups in La Crosse. Oh btw the kids aren’t playing “ first and foremost “ drinking game any longer. That was a 3 beer intro. Some people think it’s wrong to give babies beer. Those fools ! Over.

[@Jserrano4697]

Thanks for the tips great video .

[@johnbolton7598]

I am a long time subscriber and I still continue to learn valuable tips and tricks from each and every video. Thank you.

[@sonofafisherman743]

Enjoyed it brother thanks for video 👍

[@brandonmacklin4224]

I'll admit...I switch hands lol. Why do you prefer the P-Knot over the Snell-knot when flipping?

[@counceoutside4256]

Bobber stop on bottom is a great tip!

[@notsure8327]

I do that flip kit too! I thought I was just unorganized and lazy

[@caseymclamb5890]

Chad, I'm curious about the heavy tungsten weight taking away the sensitivity on my setup. Should I go lighter?

[@kellymason4190]

Learned a new truck with the stopper on bottom. Gonna give that a try. 🤙🏻

[@robbiejohnson3698]

Snell knot

[@scottlohr4876]

To date, what's your favorite scent and brand?

[@drummertroyg]

I really like these info videos Chad !

[@lazaropenalver9262]

The only problem fishing with my left or less dominant hand is my accuracy is awful... does that really matter when you are trying to make accurate presentations?

[@xOPER8Rx]

As a fish that lives under the mats, I disapprove this message.

[@411sponge72]

One of my favorite videos Chad!! I’ve always wanted to catch some hogs punching! Some fishermen swear by a snell knot compared to the Palomar when punching. Not sure which would be better when it comes to the hook set in a kayak. What are your thoughts? I really appreciate all of these informational videos. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Bill York I would use a snell if I were still using heavy mono.

[@GorillaStunter]

Was just about to ask that question

[@waynenagle7195]

Liked the video but not a fan of the yetti cooler anymore just my 2cents

[@ChadHooverFishing]

wayne nagle that’s because you likely don’t know the whole story. Yeti supported the NRA better than most for ten long years. When they decided to change the program, the NRA through them under the bus. Then cooler companies came out of the woodwork declaring their support. Where were they before that? Where were their guns pics. Most of them where all bandwagon. Yeti supports the outdoors, youth programs and more television and media projects to support hunting and fishing than anyone out there by a long shot. I’m an NRA supporter and I am a staunch second amendment supporter, but I will continue to support Yeti for what they do and have done over the years.

[@gkmbll840]

Chad Hoover vert well stated Chad👍🏻

[@jacobmead2262]

Who else cringed when he put the hook in his mouth to wet it😂 I thought he was about to get hooked

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Jacob Mead I can take it out. 😜

[@nickcavazos5718]

I personally like the trocar big nasty flippin hook and a snell knot. that hook is thin and strong. but I also haver just about every other flippin hook out there. a lot of great hooks and each hook has certain baits it fits better in i.m.o. good info and great video.

[@paulbailey1933]

Do you dip

[@lukehoward4958]

First comment I think

[@waynenagle7195]

I see no I did not no all that just what was flying around media
