Josh, Flippin/pitchin are very useful tools given the right water and conditions. Personally I pitch more than I flip. These tactics can be effective for trees, stumps, shallow weedlines, cat tails and many other bass holding covers. Many people flip docks/piers but personally I have found out that I can be much more effective skipping docks.

Something to remember is that jig n pigs are not the only tool for flippin. Also, when you use prok as a trailer, I take a small piece of rubber worm and put on the hookdown to the curve of the hook to keep the pork from turning and " blocking" your hook point for hook sets. This can happen frequently and you will not hook the fish when it happens. Myself, I try to stick with plastic trailers most of the time instead of pork to avoid this problem. good luck!
