Flipping into heavy cover is quickly becoming one of my favorite tecniques. There are so many options for plastics with this particular style and I've only tried a few of them and these pit boss's seem to work perfectly. They punch through thick grass and cover with ease and the bass seem to really like them. Haven't caught too many yet with them but I'll definitely be using them again in the future.

for stained water go with black and blue. For clear water choose a more natural color ie. watermelons or green pumpkin.Top 500 Contributor

hey vampire orange seemed to kill for me. keep casting!!!A:
Ive caught most on big texan but id try out different colors. But i bet they all workA:
I have been using green pumpkin in slightly stained water.Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Generally more natural colors such as green pumpkin, watermelon, and summer craw will be more effective in clear water while brighter and more solid colors (electric blue, junebug, black/blue) will work in a stained water situation. I use the Pit Boss for flipping and pitching in thick vegetation and have found that color is not a big factor in that situation.A:
Sorry. I can only say what works on the lakes here in Missouri.Table rock lake is a deep clear lake.
Some timber, rocks, and several coves.
Stockton Lake is mostly shallow. Lots of timber. Not so clear in most places.
My color is watermellon seed for both these lakes.

This bait works best on shaky head, but I have used it texas rig which worked good.Top 500 Contributor
A:
I really like the action of this bait on any jig head or a weighted hook rigged weedless.It works very well with all kinds of retrieves.
The downside for me is that they aren't durable enough.

I use a 1/4 oz. mag bullet weight. All depends on the water depth/vegetation. I personally like to use a heavier weight to keep the bait on the bottom.Images for this Answer

A:
use a 1/4 oz bullet weight. Either tungsten of lead will work. If you are flipping it into thick weed cover go with a 3/8 or 1/2oz bullet weight.A:
A 3/16 ounce slider.A:
I use a black bullet weight or a drop shot setup with a swivel so the line doesnt twist up on you. Weight varies depending on depth and current. Typically I use a 1/4 oz.A:
i like using the 1/4 oz weight for all my soft plastics.Top 1000 Contributor

a flippin weight.size depends on cover and depth.A:

It depends on the bulkiness of the bait. For this particular bait I use a 4/0 or 5/0 EWG Z-bend hook.Top 500 Contributor

a 4/0 hook works welll with these baits. get the owner jig rig. check them out. weight and hook connected by a swivel. gives the bait a great fall. keep casting!!!A:
