weight for flippin worms

would be correct. I have yet to see him switch up to a spinning reel. Flipp,n and pitch,n are two different things here,but I can do both with a bait caster. I use a pitching caster. It has a locking devise.Press the trigger when pitching. When the bait hits the water,release the trigger and it,s locked in for quick hook sets.

if your getting backlashes when your flipping it is more of a reel set up then the size of the weight. What I usually do every time I switch bait is once the air is tied on I hold the rod about a 45degree angle from the water and hit the release button and let the bait fall without touching the spool. If it backlashes then I adjust the spool tension knob until it stops pulling line just as it hits the water.

 

This usually works for me and I only get the bird nests if I'm not paying attention...

 

Hope this works for you

 

Cheers

he must be pitching not flipping flipping you really can't get a birds nest cause you keep the line in your left hand and wind the worm letting out the line you have in your had no reason to release the spool

 

now pitching you release the spool holding with our thumb and pitch the lure out ..if you are really pitching you don't need a lot of line so on your first pitch let out an extra 20ft and put tape around your spool

 

you will never get a bad birds nest while pitching
