When you’re flipping do you peg your weight or no? If so why peg over not pegging?

Peg 100%. You will get hung up all the time if you don’t peg. You want the bait to stay with the weight.

Always peg it. Less hang ups

Peg all my weights. Always working heavy bushes or deep water brush. I want the bait to stay in contact with the weight. When it is pulled up into the limbs; I want to hold it there without the weight falling over the limb and separating from the plastic. This allows you to also stay in contact with your bait and feel the thump. The fish can take it out of the bush without it getting hung or wrapped. This technique allows you to raise and lower a plastic while suspended in a bush.
