Flipping and pitching heavy cover is one of the deadliest ways to catch giant bass—but the real secret isn’t just the bait or the setup, it’s how you work it once it hits the water. In this video, I break down 4 sneaky retrieve tricks that pros don’t talk about but use all the time to pull fish out of thick grass, weeds, and heavy mats. From subtle shakes to reaction-inducing pops, these retrieves will help you trigger more bites and land more bass when you’re flipping. I’ll walk you through exactly how to fish each one, the gear I use, and why these little adjustments can be the difference between an empty livewell and a tournament-winning bag.
