I almost never "flip", but I pitch a lot and call it flipping. Anytime I think bass are in or near heavy cover in less the 8-10' of water, pitching is one of my go to techniques. Any structure is the kind of structure to look for until the fish start giving you more specific clues.

Agree with Zackery too.  I never FLIP.  I am not good at it, and I just don't like getting that close no matter how thick the cover.

I flip a lot but I mostly flip crankbaits and I use a spinning rod exclusively.
