You want to punch through the stuff, but a pitch is a soft, quiet
presentation. I'm confused.




Accuracy and moderate distance. Pitching.
Small pockets in cane laying over on water.

Fall or punch through some surface debris without slamming it into
the
surface. Weight.


Muddy conditions. Large.
Rattles added for attraction, but loud entries had spooked some fish
already.

Fast falling. Heavy.

I could have done an over hand cast to punch through, but I felt
that
what I
really wanted was the weight of the bait to take it through.

However, my question was strictly about what tackle would adequately
pitch
those big heavy baits. Since the tackle I had with me was not
adequate
to
the job I really don't know if it would have worked to catch fish.
Instead
I tried some other areas and used different baits for a few fish.
My
two
biggest that day where in locations where I had been able to get
through
debris like that without spooking the fish. The edge of the debris
produced
nothing. I had to go through it.

I've never seen a flipping stick that wouldn't handle 1 oz jigs or
slip
sinkers. I don't usually want a really big bait for fishing in the
mats,
but I have no problem with 9" worms or 7 inch creature baits and a 1
oz
weight, and I'll use the same setup to flip, pitch and cast as the
need
arises.

I'm not sure what the problem was, but I just couldn't handle that big
bait
on my St Croix flippig stick. At home when I tried it on my TC3 it
worked
fine. The St Croix is a 7'10" MH Fast and the TC3 is an 8' H Fast. The
bait just worked better on the TC3. I have tossed 3/4 oz jigs on the St
Croix with no problem. I expect that big plastic I had on probably was
the
difference in weight. Probably a couple ounces of plastic.

Magnum size beaver tail.

P.S. Got any suggestions Warren or are you just grilling me for the fun of
it?

Bob,

I did alright on Boom with a 6" Producto Vibrator worm, not exactly
magnum at 6" , but the paddle tail is pretty large.
