Hackney is mastermind of flipping/pitching. Great knowledge on so many levels & bait type breakdown in cover.

Really love this video. Not an obvious advertisement for products. Very informative. Where in a mat to pitch, what weight he’s using, how he’s fishing it, the reasoning behind all of that and ofc some awesome catches. Don’t get me wrong, I’m okay with your product feature videos I’m always interested in trying something new, but I hate when I get clickbaited by this channel with a title that states it’s informative and it’s 90% advertising. I’m sure a lot of other viewers agree we’re going to watch it regardless.

We don't do that intentionally but appreciate the feedback. We'll try to do better on the titling. And we're always trying to get better at providing useful, helpful information to anglers while working with the companies that support us and other anglers.

Agreed, this was a very good video that was instructional...and not an obvious advertisement. And I also agree with James to a point. In all forms of social media geared towards a sport, and print media as well, we often feel click-baited into a sponsors sales pitch. For a long time I hated that. But I realized after a while that it not only pitched me a product, ( I hate commercials!) but it TAUGHT me something I might not have known before. Even if I don't like a certain brand or don't use the product, or can't stand the pitch man\woman, underneath the sales pitch is instruction. I learn how to use that type of product, or learn something that helps me make decisions on whether I want to try something new or try a new technique. I still flip the page prematurely, mute the TV or stop a video early if I feel I'm being 'sold', but I try to learn something new from the pitch before I do. I believe the vast majority of W2F media is instructional, but like he said, very diplomatically, they have sponsors to keep happy. I'm OK with that. 👍🏼

I’m fixing to try Greg’s advice, glad he’s giving his juice up to us. I’ve watched him on tournaments, but didn’t get this. Glad he took the time to share his knowledge, I got a 7’6” heavy rod last year, I’m ready to get em! Thanks

4:48 Love that sound!!!

Always been a shallow fisherman and Hackney is an idol. Good video

Awesome video. I've watched it several times and always pick up something new. Greg's a great teacher!!

There ain't a better teacher that I would rather hear than Greg when it comes to punching.

Hack done upgraded his equipment 👍

Great video, Greg. Techniques, tips, attitude and good humor.

By far the best "how to" fishing videos I've seen on the tube.. and I've watched a many of em. 👍👍👌👌

Great job to Hack and his team, very informative!!!!

Absolutely love watching him fish a true artist at work

Great video and info Hack Attack! Really good lookin wrap! Hackneys voice and laugh are like no other! Very distinct! 👌👊

It was really neat to watch him work and dial in on a pattern until he started finding productive mats where the fish had backed under in the cold front.

All I want to know is where you bought the gloves from? Where, how much, do they mess with your fishing game (catching bass) and do they keep your fingers warm?

Thank you for sharing. I’m going to try to pitch a brush hog. They work good on the main lake

Sir nice tips, sir did u catch snakehead fish with this technique. Here in India we don't have Bass, and can you tell me what is your bullet weight?

Damn, Hack just spilled it all out. I have been punching for 20 years. He just gave up all the juice I have learned over that time.

Hey yal! I wanna know your opinion on Ark's Tharp series rods? Im thinking of getting the "okechobee special" and pair it up with a 13 fishing concept a2 for punching... Also the "supder duty" frog rod with idk what reel yet... any input appreciated yal!!
