Or Randy, you could just use 20 lb. Braid to a 12 lb leader on spinning gear. I trust that far more than 12 lb straight fluro.
Absolutely no better bait skipper than Tyler from Bass fishing HQ.
Backlash or not, it's gotta be done. Great juice. Jimi, those young guys have a great teacher.
Those kids skip better than I do 😆
I think it’s great your working with the kids to help them. I’m all for having them in more videos.
Thanks guys great explanation on skipping! Keep up the great videos 📹 👍
👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Jimi can you skip backhanded or left handed as good as you can your dominant hand?
I’d like to be able to cast pitch skip with both hands and backhanded.
I’ve got some work to be done before I’m ambidextrous with rod n reel.
Would the hover rig work well for skipping since it is an internal weight? Not sure since the line isn't tied directly to the very front…. Can't Express how happy I am to subscribe to this channel!!!
I've been skipping with a closed face reel for 10 years, you don't need all the fancy gear!
Great video guys! – James
Really good video. A little disappointed that no one spoke about reel settings on a baitcaster for skipping. Love the channel! Thanks guys.
Thanks Boys Good luck to Matt .
Great one guys keep it up 👍
I still practice and I still get backlashes! Just keep doing it and you will get braver and get it, thanks for all the great tips guys🎣
do you think it's easier to skip put of a kayak or the bass boat. I fish out of a kayak but I'm still trying to master this technique.
Thanks guys for an awesome tutorial on how to skip!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!
We all start out having a hard time with skipping a bait. It took me years and tens of thousands of casts to be able to skip a bait as accurately and comfortably as I do. When teaching someone, I always start them on a spinning rod. It helps because the mechanics and angles are exactly the same. I find there are always fewer backlashes when making the switch to a baitcaster. Flukes and wacky rigs are best and easiest to skip for a beginner. Before you know it, you'll be skipping a bait with either a spinner or a baitcaster just as easily as you make any other cast.
Also – Matt is 6' 5" so a 7' 3" rod to him is like a 6'10" to the rest of us, lol! When choosing the right rod, your height matters!
Thanks for the tips guys
Randy's right everybody hit the dock or pontoon from time to time. There's nothing worse than the sound of hitting a metal pontoon. You know every fish in the area heard it too. About all you can do is fire up the engine and run a couple miles to find some fish that didn't hear it.
Great video. I’ve been wanting to hone my skipping skills. Side question, what sunglasses and color lense are you wearing?
Thanks guys for the info ! It’s awesome !
Thanks for the entertainment!
