Smith, Ark.
– If you are a bass fisherman, chances are that sometime during the past month you’ve been rigging up a few rods in the house and suddenly go the urge to see if you could flip that 3/8 ounce jig under the chair and next to a leg of the kitchen table.
A successful pitch resulted in the thought flashing across your mind of, “man, I can flip or pitch this jig just about anywhere,” while an unsuccessful attempt resulted in a nicked up chair leg and a 5/0 flipping hook buried in the carpet which you ended up cutting out with scissors before anyone else in the house noticed the mishap.
Booyah has created an interactive flipping and pitching game that will test the flipping and pitching skills of all anglers and also eliminate the chances of scratched furniture or a hooked house pet.
The Booyah Flipstah is a game that involves flipping and pitching a hookless jig to 4” targets arranged on a 46” mat. “The targets are cups that have sensors in the bottom and the jig that you flip into the cups has a magnet so when it goes into a cup, the magnet triggers the sensor and then your score pops up on the scoreboard,” explained Andy Carroll, Director of Sales and Marketing for
Booyah.
“When it is winter and you can’t be out on the water, you can be in the garage or in the living room playing this game and it’s interactive so it’s not just a computer game where you are sitting in front of a screen motionless,” said Carroll. “You actually have a rod and reel in your hands and you are improving your craft so come springtime, you’re ready to go.”
According to Carroll, the Flipstah is applicable to anglers of all skill levels and ages from the avid fisherman looking to improve their accuracy to the novice looking to learn how to flip and pitch.
The Flipstah will retail for $99.00 and will be exclusively available at Bass Pro Shops. The game will begin showing up on store shelves by Friday, October 24th .
