Try the Strike King Rage bug. I love pitching those. I use a 4/0 Owner J hook and have no problem sticking fish. I always Txpose the hook.

I don't know about you guys but I use a big hook and braid like 50lb or so. I absolutely do not expose the hook at all while flipping/pitching in heavy cover. Joe doesn't either.
The longest pitch is about 30 feet and most are much shorter.
Tie a snell knot and don't worry about it. If you still miss alot of fish then your man card is gonna be taken away.
For more info contact Hackney.

I seem to have a hard time texposing a straight hook like the flipping hooks. It always makes the bait not sit right.
Really I just suck at this game

I have used both a flipping hook (Owner Jungle Flipping) or an offset round bend worm hook (like the 6th sense Jugular) when using a sweet beaver. Have had more hookup success on the offset round bend worm hook....

Lots of men have lost it all due to sweet beavers, please be careful If it flies, floats or (fornicates) itโs cheaper to rent.
