Find, hook, and wrench monster bass out of the lily pads like a pro.

Flipping Genius

Nothing gets a bass angler more fired up than spotting a patch of lily pads in late spring and early summer. The spawn is over, and now is the time when heavy fish start taking up residence in this lush cover. Throwing topwater frogs is a blast, but serious bass fishermen know that a jig flipped into the pads entices more big girls more often. The perfect flipping presentation, however, is a skill that takes some time and practice to master. If you’re ready to set down the frog and probe the pads for a true trophy, these tips from top tournament pros and guides will help you determine exactly where to flip and how to come tight after that jig touches down.
