Essential Flipping Setups you Need

[@timshatto506]

There's thousands of flipping/pitching/punching rod-reel-line setups, AND THIS IS THE GREATEST VIDEO THERE IS!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate that Tim I doubt it really the best but thanks for the vote of confidence.

[@mikedove7541]

Great Job!! Nice way of demonstrating why you use each piece of gear, not just saying "USE THIS". Clear and precise instruction. Keep it up and good luck. I will be watching future content. Thanks!!

Good stuff. That bait is badass. You and Panger did a great job.

Thanks bro hope you catch a giant on it!

[@richardblake4777]

Great video Bradley, been using the BFE ever since I saw your first recommendation. It gets big bites on a jig and Texas rigged. Thanks for your info.

[@DubH46]

Man, thanks for all this. I have a feeling that I'll be dragging the BFE on a Carolina rig too.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

I think it could be a killer c-rig and wobble head bait.

[@DubH46]

NIce, I messaged Matt to try and figure out what he was saying about rigging the BFE on BTL yesterday when you were on. Awesome bait and awesome job on the video. Keep it up.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

That’s why I made it was from the feedback following the show. Thanks bro

3 times rigging through that plastic, lol. You'll get there brother, keep it up. Thanks for all of your advice over the years!

I can't wait until my BFE show up. Ordered 3 colors to test out. Hope they arrive before my trip on the 12th.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Hope you get them too.

Where is your trip may I ask?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Florida to film with SMC! Scott Martin’s place new offshore boat, friends, and fishing!

[@rileymcgill9893]

BFE lives up to it's name. Pretty much the only plastic I use for flippin or punching now even over the d bomb. Might have to try me some of them skirts tho.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

The skirts are good at times! Glad you like the BFE

[@rileymcgill9893]

@@BradleyHallmanFishing I appreciate you man

[@ebayhlf]

Im with you on the EWG hook...alot of my buddies only use straight shank....but i for sure no doubt put more fish in the boat on an EWG hook.....every time i try a straight shank i loose a couple.....switch back to the EWG and my hook up ratio sky rockets.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Me as well!

[@howsbubbs]

Great info i live in south fla and pretty much use the same kind of setup except the bobber stop but may try that. Great job

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Definitely try the bobber stopper! I can’t fish without it anymore.

[@johnnymassengale6275]

Really like this. But I use the pinsit knot for everything, flouro and braid and have had not had that knot break on me at all.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Important thing is you have knot that works for you and that’s great! What we are all looking for. Thanks for the suggestion

[@jamessipes122]

The knot BH tied is called the Pitzen also called the 16/20. Shaw Grigsby has a really good video on tying the double Pitzen. 5:45

@@BradleyHallmanFishing come on up In the winter time it's a blast

[@jaredjones2915]

In a river system in which wood is the primary go to, what size tungsten would you typically pitch, we're talking Cypress trees, Cypress knees and laydowns

[@jaredjones2915]

Summertime of course. Our water temps are already upper 80 in Southwest Louisiana

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

The depth of them matters but I would say 1/4-3/8 95% of the time for me. If they become deeper than say 4 feet then the size would go up.

[@jaredjones2915]

Thanks man I appreciate it. Yea it's typically 4 foot or so. I'm gonna try 3/8. Most around here pitch 1/4 or less so I'm hoping maybe 3/8 will give them a different look

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Good luck man and thanks again for watching

[@scottclark1168]

Great video,loved the knot tying,do you always tie that specific knot on braided line,gotta get me some BFEs,great looking bait,bet it will be awsome on a wobble head

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Awesome on the wobble head I agree! I do tie that knot every time with braid to a straight shank hook.

[@scottclark1168]

Just ordered 6 packs of bfe,some good looking colors nice job on those

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks man appreciate y’all

[@bartgrider6895]

Great info and explanation. On the "pull hookset", I assume you are referring to reeling down until you feel the weight then pull (no slack line-Gman hookset)?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

It’s the correct hookset with braid and the big weight.... yes sir! Now with fluro and small weight I slack line that jaw son..... no holding back Jack!! Love to slack line!

[@dennisgillenwater3560]

[@briantherion9145]

[@michaelzfishing]

Hey Bradley! Hope you and your family are finding yourself well. I was wondering why you don’t like to tie the snell knot on your EWG/flouro rods?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

I’ve never tried a snell knot on an EWG style hook. It would be tough to to and not sure it would even work. It’s not the hook for me it’s that I don’t like the snell knot on any fluro line. I just don’t like it. It’s a feel thing for me and I feel it’s weak.

[@bryanmaneval2401]

Great video not a thumbs down guy!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Lol 😂 love the thumbs down 👎 guy!

[@kktx4058]

Great tutorial!!! My current favorite baits to pitch are the Rage Bug, the D Bomb & the Big Bite Swimming Mama as I primary fish timber & brush. What are some of the advantages of your BFE?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Mike for the support and pointing a fellow fisherman in the right direction! Keith I think you will find the fish like the subtle movements of the BFE. Not going to be the big flappy bait

[@kktx4058]

Super... I will check out the BFE video! Thanks.

Hey Brad do you use the Hayabusa hooks a lot our ole buddy at Amistad Kurt Dove uses those all the time I need to try them out

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Yes Tim I have been using them solely for two years now. Wonderful hooks!

[@t_andin9343]

Hey Bradley, I really appreciate all the work you put into these videos! They have helped me a ton. I have a question about the Amistad rod. I mainly fish Grand and Table Rock, I really like pitching lighter jigs and Texas rigs (1/2 oz or less) with flouro. Do you think this rod would do that well, or would you still go up the the XH? Thanks!

[@preston_k]

Good video 😁

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Preston!

[@sonnygreen9698]

Man I really like that swirl color pattern, do you ever cut the end so that it swims or is it made to work exactly the way it is? I ask because I do not have much punching opportunities here in my state but I can see this taking place of some chunk baits.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

You can cut the tail if you like. I flip it the way it comes outta the bag.

[@jeffcheatham1744]

Great Info as always Sir, we have a lot Reeds / Cattails in our local lakes here in the DFW, which setup are you going with Braid or fluoro? Thanks !

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Probably braid but I have no problem with 25# fluro

[@jakemiles6225]

Great breakdown, as always! How do you handle lakes that have heavy grass mixed in with wood? I try to avoid throwing braid around wood whenever possible..

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

If you mean lakes like Sam Rayburn I can honestly tell you I have always and still fight what to flip as far as line there. Usually have multiple rods rigged for that place

[@jakemiles6225]

Bradley Hallman that makes me feel like a sane person! 😂 Appreciate your work on here!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Jake! I hate braid in wood as well but like Rayburn it may be that high is 7 foot of water on the cypress trees. You ain’t pulling an 8 pounder outta the bottom of that with fluro. Just not going to happen!

[@luevang9801]

Been thinking about flipping with heavy floro. How’s the sensitively with floro versus braid? Do you lose sensitivity?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Some yes but I flip a lot of floro and still think I’m on time with the hook set.

[@joshhicks2570]

Hey this is off subject but I can't help but notice your boat trailer where did you get that does phoeinix sell them?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Absolutely yes they do. It is a small upgrade but you can order your boat that way!

[@stevewoolf4453]

Nice hat

[@terrytriton2265]

Thanks for the video. Off subject , I see you need readers also. That makes it tough for retying baits on and watching graph for hours while grapging offshore. Why hasnt Costa stepped up and become the first quality sunglass company to put readers in thier sunglasses?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

They do I just have never sent them my prescription! I’m old and fighting it.

[@shard7086]

You made it sound like you don’t flip with anything above a 3/8 weight on your XH bread and butter flipping setup. Do you not usually flip with a heavier weight? I’m just curious bc I usually flip with 1/2 oz and I do admit it feels a little heavy on my regular Amistad

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

No...... I definitely flip heavier than 3/8. It has to do with the depth and thickness of cover for me. If I can flip 1/2 and cover water I will but in most cases it’s 1 foot or shallower to what I’m pitching and yes I think 1/2 is on the heavy side. In Florida or Texas in all that grass 1/2 is considered to be on the light side of the spectrum but on the Ohio River those guys would die with a half ounce. Way to big for their lay downs. See what I mean..... it’s all conditions?

[@shard7086]

Bradley Hallman absolutely. Thank you Hallman! Love your channel

Palomar is fine with braid but not fluro!!!!!!👎 Bad things have happened to me like breaking off on the hookset. No more..... most do not tie a palomar knot with fluro.
