I flip MAYBE 3%-5% of my fishing but when I do it’s 50/50 between a jig and a beaver type bait.

What bait(s) are you using to pitch and flip now? Soft plastics? Jigs? Something else?
Will it change as spring turns to summer?
Just curious. I like to pitch and flip (the motion), but I don't get good results. Don't think so much about the bait as much as the weight and shape of the bait. Flipping/pitching= heavy cover=reaction bites. Color and actual bait should be more what your confident in. Sometimes the fish hit a fast fall, sometimes slower fall. A lot of hits you get with this technique the fish don't even really know what their inhaling....so there goes the color/bait theory! But then there are times......

When pitching, I’m usually using a beaver style bait. When I actually flip, it’s with a punch rig and a creature bait.

I am not convinced of that bigger baits equals bigger fish either. At least that has not been my experience. I have caught little fish off of big swimbaits. My biggest fish came off a C-Rig with a bubble fry.

Agreed that small baits will work but there are statistically more big fish caught on jigs. I am going to play the odds and start fishing them regularly. Whenever I want to teach myself a new technique I use it pretty much exclusively until I feel like I am proficient at it.
See you on the lake and have a great day!
