Can you flip and pitch with 12 pound fluorocarbon or is that too light?

Do it all the time on clear water Belton. Just have to check your line for damage quite frequently.

Sounds like a recipe for heartache. 15lb minimum for pitching around cover with FC. Iโd sleep better spooling up with 20lb.

Your question "can you flip and pitch with 12# fluorocarbon line" No I can't because I don't want to break off fish often and loose the baits I am pitching with. I use 15# as the lightest test line if the cover isn't too heavy but mostly I use 20# test.
I do use 12# test lines for finesse fishing but not for pitching.

Nothing wrong with 12#, just depends on the type of cover/structure you're flipping in.

Depends what you're flipping into...Any structure at all I would say no. Rock on bottom...maybe.

I have before but honestly broke a bunch off at hookset. That could be the rod more than though as I donโt have same problem with 15lb invisx.
I prefer peace.But if trouble must come let it come in my time. So that my children may live in peace

Would 15 pound be okay on a 4 power rod ?
