- No more secrets! If you want to catch bass in heavy cover, this video is for you! Did you know you can punch with a dropshot? In today's in-depth video the guys cover this trick and so much more as they give away all the secrets to consistently catching bass with a flipping stick.
When Summer largemouth bass head deep into heavy cover it requires very heavy tackle to get them back out. Punching, flipping, and pitching are the three techniques used to reach these bass lurking in the shadows. If you're the first angler in your area to pick up a flippin stick you will be amazed by how many bass are deep in the cover. Matt and Tim put their heads together in this nearly 40-minute seminar and teach everything from creature bait selection to color preferences, right down to which speed reel will make your life easier for a long day of flipping.
Traditionally these bass are reached using a heavy Texas-Rigged creature bait on 65 lb braid. This method is deadly and has been responsible for producing an incredible number of big bass. However, as fish become conditioned there are times that a heavy jig and even a heavy dropshot will far outshine the Texas Rig. Knowing this little nuances makes all the difference and Matt and Tim aren't afraid to show you exactly how and when to make the adjustments.
Below is a breakdown of all the gear discussed in today's video. It is broken down by style to make it easier to follow along.

Why do these guys not have a million subscribers? Most informative bass fishing channel on youtube
Cause people would rather watch the dumbass googans than actually learn how to fish
@@hankwilliams999 Perhaps ask who is the most entertaining? Simple maths.
Thats what im thinking. They are greater than alot of the others.Id rather learn and be entertained at the same time. I can learn and go create my own entertainment.
@@skylerbrowning9017 750,000 other people dont agree with you.
@@biilybutt9016 I hear those 750,000 people can't even use a green pumpkin senko right... and think bass spawn in the winter
Guys, I've watched this video twice now and I so impressed on how well you guys explained soooo much with sooo much detail, yet keep our attention the whole time. You always leave me wanting more!
Please, please, please, don't stop these amazing videos!!!
Thanks a million!
Matt and Tim, I've been fishing for 37 years but I always learn something new from you guys! Excellent videos! God bless you guys and your families!
I’m glad to see you guys together. Thanks to you guys this is my 1st year I finally consider myself a bass fisherman me and my 13 son got all the bass we never experienced.
Best pitching and flipping video ever. Feel like I just walked out of the fog into clear blue sky. Thanks for all the great information.
You two are something else!!!!! The knowledge and Theories you two have is out standing! I love watching how comfortable and confident you two are talking about everything you know about fishing!
I really love the long instructional videos. Please keep doing those type of videos. Great Information can be powerful in fishing.
Can you guys do a video about a "go to" bass box? Enough stuff to fill a single plano 3700 utility box, but enough variety you'd feel confident Catching bass just about anywhere, and in a variety of conditions.
I second this.
I'm not tactical bassin but I'd say a black and a frog color popping frog, some kind of 4-5 inch walking stick bait in a shad color, small popper in shad, bluegill, or bass color, whopper plopper, shad red craw and chartreuse 1.5 squarebills, bluegill, red craw, shad and chrome red eye shad/lipless bait, chartreuse and white tandem blade and shad color 1/2 oz double willow spinnerbait, white chartreuse and white and black and blue chatterbait 3/8-1/2 oz, 3/8 oz bluegill and shad swimjig, 3/8 oz and 1/2 oz green pumpkin and black and blue flipping jigs, 1/2 oz pb&j football jig, 10-15 foot deep diving crankbait in chartreuse and shad color, 2-5 foot depth jerkbait in a clear and chrome color, white buzz bait, green pumpkin and junebug senko, green pumpkin trick worm and 10 inch curl tail worm in red bug
Where do you live? That's gonna vary a lot. What is the clarity on you favorite lakes, how many feet can you see the bottom on?
If I could only have one box I would pack 5" Senkos, wide gap hooks, variety of bullet weights, few crank baits (regular and lipless), mushroom head jigs, few jerk baits (chrome, white, and yellow/orange belly), If I could some jigs, swim baits stuff, and spinner baits. Probably some time of creature bait too.
With those baits you could throw texas rig, neko, ned, and of course all the hard baits mentioned too. This would allow you to fish sunny and clear days, calm or windy, spring, summer, and fall.
Damn i wish i could only have one 🙁
Ike has a “go-to box” video available or what he terms, a “panic box” on CZcams...
Man i love it when you 2 get together and do a vlog. Just so much info. I have watch allot of fishing videos on you tube. I can say Tactical Bassin is no joke. You guys know your sh!!...Matt & Tim thanks you guys. You have made me a better fishermen No doubt...Thank being said. Thank You....
My head just blew up. Tim & Matt We need a tactical fishing forum so we can share up to the minute regional ideas amongst each other. I have ideas if it ever becomes a consideration
Inshore fisherman now living on a lake in Orlando, spending more time learning the lake and chasing largemouth. Can’t tell you how valuable and enjoyable your channel is. I’ve been soaking up the content and always look forward to learning more. Thanks for the high quality and high value video!
Super informative! I'll have to watch this video again. . . I'm so glad to see the both of you together again. Whoo whoo.
One of the very few...and I mean few... channels I watch where if I see it’s over 20min, I will absolutely click without hesitation! Great content, info, knowledge, tackle descriptions. Much appreciated guys!
I watched a 2 year old video about this similar topic before my KBF event on CL this past weekend. So much good info then, and now. Glad you guys circle back around and give updated info, baits, and applications. This is awesome. It’s my rookie season, and I placed 37th overall at the regional championship... I have zero complaints! It was a good series. Thanks again... tight lines.
I love the content always... but I love it even more when you two are together ☺️
The great thing about tactical, is having three new videos per week, plus your enthusiasm on each video make me as a viewer watch everyone and want to get out and try those techniques and methodology! Thanks fellas
Excellent video. I've been watching your videos for several months now and I like how the both of you take great care with detail. That's exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks guys.
Love starting the week with Tactical! Thanks guys; always appreciate ya.
I can't believe how much I learn from these videos. As a novice, tips are needed for anything from how to tie the best knots to what gear to buy and these guys are amazing!
Punching is probably one of the hardest way to fish but one of the most rewarding nice video guys!
Georgia Bassmasters punching through pads is what I do best lol it’s super easy man. Practice makes perfect.
Joshua Underwood we don’t have many pads in my local reservoir so we don’t get to practice much I would like to get better at it
@@GeorgiaBassmaster Come to the California Delta during the summer
Love your guy's channel. Every video has a purpose and so educational. Thank you for sharing your fishing knowledge!!
Great video as always!! Would like to see dif examples of cover where you would punch. And also would like to see how you guys would plan a fishing trip and pick spots to try before even getting to the lake. Using lake maps, navionics, or what have you.. I think I speak for everyone when I say you guys are one of the most informative bass fishing channels on CZcams. Really love the content. Wish you guys would do a video everyday but I know that’s near impossible. Also the next time you do a fish along style video, would like to see footage from a chest cam or something of the like, so we can see the areas you guys are fishing a little better. Thanks to both of you! Keep up the good work!!
It's great seeing both of you in a video, I think it should happen more often. Great info as usual!
Every second of this video was greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you guys!!!
“Talk to you soon”
Another incredible video! Thanks guys!🤘Matt n Tim are the WORD!!!
Video was long due to you guys having so much knowledge to pass on to us lucky subscribers. Thanks Matt and Tim, you guys are the best.
Love y’all’s content very in depth and on my level. Keep it up. Good stuff !!!
Nailed this one guys! Good to have both of y’all’s input on this topic. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to practice this technique more often and can add it to my arsenal. I’d really like to see the strategy side of how y’all approach punching, much like the dock fishing video that Tim did last year!
Exxxcellent video Matt & Tim. Been following for about 4-5 years. Ur the best bass fishing resource available anywhere. I gave up my premium fishing cable channels for you two. AAA+
Once again you guys put out awesome content been watching you guys for 3-4 years now and you guys have definitely help make me a better angler
Great to see the two of you in the same place! Great video as always, thanks guys!
This video goes much deeper than fishing. There is a ton of knowledge, safety, pro tips, etc. in this video. Matt and Tim, I want to say "thank you" for dedicating your lives to this. I sure would like to meet you if you come near Guntersville again (my home area). Thanks again.
Finally got myself a heavy flipping set up! I’ve spend so much time fishing the outside of the heavy cover that I think it’s time to get in there and get em. Great video to help as always 🤘🏼
i have been punching since the late 90's before it was cool. A lot of very good info in this video.
My .02 cents: Any 7'6"+ heavy action rod will work great. 50# regular power pro braid is all you need and gets through the mats better. If you are breaking that then you have other problems. It is not the line.
As for reels you need a good one with quality brass gears and a stiff frame. That means composite frame reels are a no go and so are elcheap O bass pro and academy specials. This technique wears out cheap reels because of the constant stress being put on them. Composite frame reels flex too much and rob you of pulling power. A 6.5 to 7.5 gear ratio reel is ideal. Speeds over 7.5 are too much and you won't have enough power to turn the handle. Any reel from Shimano, Citica on up the line except for CI4 chronarch, is a good reel no matter how old. The Lews superduty seems to be good as well. After using one for over a year it has not developed any slack. Lews and shimano are the only reels i trust for longevity.
Bigger hooks doesn't always mean better hook ups. It is more about the shape of the weight blowing the mouth open on hook set. This is critical when you go over 1oz in sinker size. i stick with 3/0 and 4/0 hooks strait shank heavy wire. They all the brands seem to work about the same to me. Picasso and River2Sea seem to be best big weights by far.
ROD ROD RODs, like i said any rod will work, BUT if you plan to punch all day buy a light and well balanced rod. A rod of this nature is worth its weight in gold. If you can't afford a super light rod at least get one that is balanced with the reel you plan to put on it. You will be worn out quickly by a top heavy rig even though the overall weight my be lighter than some other rod that is well balanced. My favorite punching rod is the Powell Endurance 806. At $150 it is affordable by today's standards. You can spend more and get "better" but bang for buck you can't find a better stick.
I like a 7'6" ish heavy or MH for up to an 1 oz weight or 1 1/4oz weight with a smaller bait. Anything heavier than that gets the 8 footer. My favorite 7'6" is a Powell Inferno 765CEF that they don't seem to make anymore.
Awesome explanation and I agree with you what u said is spot on and i love the powell endurance. Try the 775;) or if u want the most balanced flipping stick u can find with a curado 200e7 grab u a dobyns champion 765 flip sweetest flipping combo ever
Great Video guys! I really needed a little tuneup on my punching and flipping knowledge! Thanks again for everything guys
You two guys are awesome! So much great information and knowledge. I have bought so much new tackle this year and I’ve caught so many more Quality Bass because of you guys! Appreciate everything that you do. Thanks a lot.
By the way in this video you guys look like the Blues Brothers!😎🤣
Thank y’all once again! Amazing instruction!
Just went to my first tournament. I had no prep and never punched in my life i watched your video the night before. i placed 10th out of 60 people using your advice thank you guys so much!
Your vids this year have been phenomenal. Bought myself a dedicated flippin stick this spring thanks to your vids...best fishing related decision I have ever made. Went with a G Loomis E6x 7’6” H, will be upgrading next year with an Expride or Loomis NRX. Been catching bigger fish this summer than other years past and it is because of all the vids you guys put out about fishing heavy cover and jig fishing. Started to fish in areas I used to shy away from cause I never had the right gear or the confidence to buy it. Won a small one day kayak derby pitching a jig in the gnarliest wood piles I could find. Stuck a 5.5 on the jig that I will never forget. Thanks Matt and Tim, keep it up!
Thanks guys, best channel on CZcams, hands down.

Thanks for this great vid!!!! Gonna have to take notes on it before spring!! Really good job!
Appreciate the content on a couple of my favorite techniques! Also thanks for the saftey advice. I just recently was hit by a 1 ounce tungsten bullet right below my armpit closer to my back. It knocked the wind out of me and it broke the skin and left a bruise the size of a grapefruit. It is a serious matter like you both mentioned and your honesty the first ones ive seen talk about it. Thats why TB is the best!!
Awesome videos guys! Always learning a lot from your videos and look forward to the next. Thank you very much!
Love you guys. You’ve made all the difference for me.
Guys thanks for your information. Still kinda new, the way you fish and how it's explained is perfect for my brain. Y'all are awesome men, teachers, and fishermen. Money is definitely the appropriate payback, hope y'all have plenty of it and great lives. Love y'all
Man, glad you guys are growing! Keep it up.
thanks so much for all you do. it really is mind blowing how much and how pertinent the info is. Again thanks so much Tim Little and Mat Alen.
Yall are awesome. Top notch fishing channel - excellent advice, applicable methods and solid gear recommendations.
Straight up you guys have helped me land so many more fish thanks to your knowledge
Oh crap! You guys are back together!!!
that's freaking team work. someone catches one gets out the way and the other moves to the front. I'm an EWG guy myself. Great video thanks guys
Great video. I always appreciate the deep level of explanation. Your depth of knowledge shows for sure. Keep up the good work.
Great information. Watch u guys all the time. One thing I like is when I watch i come up with questions but usually before I can ask my question u guys have already answered it.
Thanks, guys, awesome informative video, keep up the great work!
VERY nice, and in depth video, guys!! Thank you!
Sad I thought I was already subscribed to this channel but anyway I watch this tactical bassin before fishing or on my way fishing and before buying a lure these guys keeps it plan and simple
Been watching 5 years str8 haven’t failed me yet
Great info guys! Going to need to use these methods more often, and good to see you both in a video.
Love the info and passion you guys bring to the sport. Hook sets are free is what a tell guys.
Thanks Matt and Tim
Absolutely fantastic video guys!
I've been waiting on this one! I need some extra knowledge on this stuff
mike underbrink same! I just recently got a 7’4” heavy rod for heavy jigs and punching and frogging even. I been using a 7’ MH lol and I get the fish out like 10% of the time
Awesome guys! Even your long videos keep my interest.
Dope video thank you for the information, time, energy and efforts put into the content of teaching the world how to fish.
That was awesome,thank you Matt and Tim 👊👊
I've been watching a lot of these videos lately and this is BY FAR the best and really easy to follow.
Enjoyed how you covered the ideal rods but also a more versatile option. Any chance we could get a video of what you guys think are the 2 or 3 rod/reel/line set ups that would reasonably cover a majority of most fishing for the average angler on an average budget?
I just started really bass fishing been in lake co. for years I have learned a lot thanks guys. I've rented a boat for this weekend and plan on using all I've learned hopefully I hook up a big one. Sorry to see you guys move back east but I will still be watching all your videos. Good Luck!
Great video as always guys! It was good to see you out there at the lake the other day as you came in. We ended up catching some good fish after we talked to you. I can't say enough about how awesome you guys are. Keep it coming guys!! -James
After a year from the release date, this one still gets me. Very instructive, truly helpful, and incredibly interesting to watch. Thanks a lot guys. 👍
Great video, I'm excited to try these techniques. Thanks!
Thanks for the instructions, including the hook set
Excellent video guys. Lots of fantastic info
Love it. Headed out late September with my dad. Hope it cools down a bit.
Thanks for the tips! I really appreciate you guys.
Great video guys. I really appreciate how you two work together to teach instead of competing with one another. You have very complementary styles and it makes your presentations flow well. Two heads are better than one and when you team teach you really shine. I seriously doubt that I will use any of the techniques that you covered but this vid was so informative and well done that I had to watch. Thanks.
Thank you Harold!
Thank you guys so much for the info you put into these vids. Going to punch for the first time this summer can’t wait looks like a blast
Awesome video guys thanks for the lesson I learned a lot 💥💪🏻👊🏻
Watched this a few months back and gave you a thumbs up and having used it a little bit now watching it again I'd like to give you a two thumbs up if I could! Great information! And it works here on my Arizona home Lakes!
I’m new to bass fishing and I can’t enough of your videos. You guys are awesome thank for all the content very much appreciate. #TacticalbassinRocks 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
This is the best explanation on flipping and punching on CZcams thanks alot
Great info. Thanks too both of You.
This video was HUGE for me. I fished Pennsylvania lakes where I grew up for many years. Those lakes have an extraordinary variety of structure and cover. But I moved to northern Indiana a few years ago where all these lakes are literally giant, empty mud bowls surrounded by various lily pads and weeds making them VERY hard to catch! I'll be employing all of these techniques on my very next trip. THANK YOU!
Top notch boys loving every minute of getting close time is near tackle up boys as always super video
You guys really got it down. Love your video
I love the videos. I learn so much from you guys
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it until someone else proves me wrong......This is THE best bass fishing channel on CZcams.
It's not even close, if I'm being honest.
Caught a 5lb bass yesterday punching for the first time. Im hooked. Thanks for the tips guys.
The only thing you caught punching ass was AIDS
Huge information. Need to save and watch again
Quality Intel as usual thank you tactical bassin.
This hit home. I LOVE FLIPPING & PITCHING. I JUST BOUGHT A BASS PRO SHOPS BIONIC BLADE. Heavy action not 65lb braid. But 30lb. Braid...strike king with 25lb flouro. And i love the set up. Thanks guys these video helped me be more unorthodox and out of the box thinking.
Went out and caught my first punch fish cause of u guys!! He hit my line so hard😂
Thanks for a grest video. Been plsnning to do some punching. Bouht thr gear snd Friday gonna try. This was very informative. I've learned alot
Thank you for the master class. This is valuable information.
I use a 2 or 3 oz bell sinker on a heavy drop shot in the hydrilla at Lake Amistad here in Texas in the warmer months! Great video as usual guys!
great video as usual guys!
Great video. Thanks very much!
Thanks for all the info. Gonna try some first time punching next weekend. One thing I'd recommend trying while trying to free a snag is to wrap your braid around a dowel or other object that will not get cut by the braid and just start tugging.
It will keep you from getting dig in on your reel, and I find it easier to manage than the rod while I pull.
Awesome information!
I would love a video about when to use natural/confidence presentations vs branching out and trying a new presentation that the fish might have not seen before.
Also a video about fishing soft paddle tail swimbaits rigged weedless, particularly from banks. Like how to react when the bite is subtle and when to set the hook. I keep missing fish/: i love your guys videos thanks for everything!
Thanks I needed this tutorial...loving the bubba shot idea can’t leave work fast enough trying that tonight
Great video. New to bass fishing and just learning flipping and pitching after I got my butt kicked in a tournament. I skunked and they guy next to me that was punching caught at least 20. Appreciate what y'all do.
