I had the original Team Diawa Denny Brauer Flippin/Pitchin rod- 7'6"- 6 power, EXTRA HEAVY. I had the Quantum Flippin/Pitchin reel on it-4.4:1 gear ratio-BIG 'ol gear! 1st fish I caught on it was a 6-1, New Years Day, 1988. I won ALOT of money and caught most of my big bass (7lb+) on that combo, spooled with 20lb blue Stren and a black/blue ⅝oz Arkie Grassmaster jig with a black Uncle Josh pork frog-either #11, #1, or the BIG #10 gator chunk. Hard to beat that combo for big bass.
Think about it, this man made his entire career off a Daiwa 7"6 Flippin stick and a Jig in pig...we have watched him in a couple BASS events running with him and watching him work and the man was truly a machine with a flippin stick in his hands.
Do you have any "the bass class" with Denny? That's my fav old bass show... Denny was my fav as he fished for Daiwa and I most had a TD-X in his hand and that was my fav reel back then
Wow, never heard of a length limit on rods in the pros. Maybe not anymore. Also love the "high speed" 6.3-1 reels when today is like 7.4 or 8.0-1. Great to look back even if just 20 years or so.
Denny is a Legend. Doesn’t get enough credit for his accomplishments. Good man. And managed to raise a good family during his career. In Texas. In the 70’s and 80’s before the term “Flippin” was coined. We called it “Doodle sockin”. I still do. I hate the term Flippin. I say Flippin vs. the F bomb. Not as a fishing technique. Lol
@@highjenks3d My grandfather told me doodle sockin or Flippin was started in the 1920’s. They did not have reel. Or they could not afford 1. So they get a 8 - 10’ cane pole with 5’ or 6’ of line. Everyone had 2 of 3 lures. A top water and a jig. He said you put that jig down in the middle of a tree and just jig it up and down. The top water, they used the rod to give the bait action. Move the rod tip around a stump until an exlosion came. They were fishing for fun - but also for food. Kept every fish big enough to eat. It is just interesting how bass fishing got started. They did not use live bait. And they only wanted bass. Most people fishin back then be happy to catch anything. So people Flippin for a long time.
@@user-sh2mk8ew4c its funny you say that because that was the first artificial bait I ever fished on a long cane pole I was 6 or 7 years old and my grandad tied a jig on the end of it, I think it was because the bait shop was closed, that one feathered jig setting it up and down started me on the bass grandad was a crappie fisherman the first bass I caught ever caught was that day and it was way bigger than crappie my days of minnow fishing were over
@@user-sh2mk8ew4c we called it stump buzzing up in the front of the john boat pole up to a stump and the figure 8 would make them angry using like a devils horse or a torpedo that was 40 years ago but it was great fun
@@highjenks3d That’s cool. As I think about it I guess the technique had different names in different parts of the country. But yeah, basically same thing.
Personally I think any boat without bells and whistles would be okay too. You think? Any ways living in an apartment with no parking a boat is hard life, so I'll have to bank fish anywhere in Kentucky, Rivers, Lakes, Creeks, and yes by permission Ponds. God Bless and hope you get fishin soon.
Denny is probably the greatest pitch and flip professional bass angler of all time, he definitely has an advantage over anglers like Mike iaconelli due to his size he's tall long armed, and lanky dudes of such stature have the advantage pitching and flipping over the smaller guys, you wouldn't think 12 to 18" distance in flipping would make a difference but it does, its been the difference in winning the classic and the rest of the field, he puts that jig in places the other anglers can't quite reach
Yes a mans height may dictate his rod. Almost all my rods I modify the handle. Shorten it. I definitely have to do this with Flippin sticks as the handles are 2’ foot long. I would not say I am at a disadvantage due to my lack of height. That is like saying a handicapped man is less intelligent. I may be a little shorter than the average but I promise you I can catch ‘em when most can’t. I keep saying I am going to make my own rods. Emphatically NO, a tall man does not have an advantage over a short man in bass fishing. Basketball probably.

This has to be the most informative bass fishing video ever. It appeared nothing left out. Unreal !!!
You learn more from these old-school guys in 20 minutes than you do watching other videos!!!
I love these old school videos. Thank you
Love these old videos. I feel like i didn't even know how to fish until i learned to pitch a jig. Game changer for sure
My rule of thumb, when in doubt, go to the jig and trailer and put it up in the heavy cover
Thats a good rule of thumb to wear the skin off your thumb 🎣
That's gonna be a real SORE thumb! > *

it's not just the gear...it's the angler...
@@JD-te9tj That is basically what the original poster said......... Do you have comprehension problems?
@@christopherwood2290 Be nice 😊
Good lawdddd, this dude just oooozes knowledge. I've learned more in this video and the one he did in the 80's than I have in years.
Wow, that was informative detailed and very well made. I learned a lot and appreciate your time in doing this video. Thank you.
Best jig fisherman on the planet
I know that parking lot! Great video by the best! Thanks!
Lots of pure gold in this video
Great use to have this.
Because of Denny I have a mega stock of Strike King Bo-Hawg trailers !
One of the goats... godfather of jig fishin... I still use the TD1Hi to this day
Good video!!!
Back to back fish !

There are still rod length limits in the pros
That happened after Dee Thomas was kicking too much butt in tournaments!
High speed for a good while was 5:1, that was burnin'! Lol
Awesome and a recent upload. And yes please do the bass class
I miss those green handle diawas
No one better with a jig. Love the 80s mcdonalds employee training video music.
Great video, but what about reel use? I know retrieve ratio was covered. Is it locked down for flipping, freespool for pitching?
Denny is the master
of the mom jeans
Let em jump yee yee!
Those Evinrude trolling motors were so quiet.. I rebuilt mine until it died completely...My Motor guides and Minn kota are much louder...
😊
One of my local lakes has that type grass, anyone know what kind of grass that is?
🇺🇸👍
Back when Ranger boats sponsored fishing pros.
Back when ranger had all the top guys fishing for them. Things have sure changed.
Forrest Wood must be turning over in his grave.
Yeah Johnny Morris screwed up everything
Denny is a Legend. Doesn’t get enough credit for his accomplishments.
Good man. And managed to raise a good family during his career.

Best of all time in this technique no doubt
