(PITCH Skipping) A Plastic Bait. COOL way to skip!

[gg2125]

great video-

What rod are you using or recommend?

[exbassguide]

@gg2125 I love the team "Daiwa Tierra spinning freshwater rods Model: TDTR 602MHFS" Rod it is 6 feet 6 inches it is a Med fast. Itr is a very good pole for the price.

I use this rod for alot of my bass fishing.

Ive been pitch skipping with my bait caster since ive had one... I use it to get under trees or brush that are hanging off the edge of the bank. i mostly do this with senkos and 12 fluorocarbon. the thing is this will not be productive under docks because it only skipped a couple feet.

[FreshwaterAngling]

AMAZING!!!!

[outlaw1693]

[IBG67]

[exbassguide]

i was thinking about getting the banjo minnow...is the product any good??

[exbassguide]

That is a very good bait. But I do make one change to the bait! I add part of a sluggo weight in the tail section. So when you stop twitching the bait it falls like a senko (sideways). If you do not do this the bait will go nose down and that is not as productive!

Thanks!

i have used that before, it is pretty good, biggest caught 3lber, used them once for about 3 hours, i would say get them.

[krissyndjjordan]

thats with a spinning reel much harder with baitcaster

[exbassguide]

Fishing is about using the best tool for the job and spinning is the best tool for skipping. Try fishing a 4 inch senko on 100 pound test line. You will not catch many fish that way. It just dumb and no one does that. Most people skip with spinning. I skip with a bait caster when fishing around thiker cover but a dock is not this cover most of the time.

any chance of you making a video with the camera next to you and you walking people through your movements. i've been trying to skip for monthes now and can only go maybe 5 feet with acuracy and 10 feet with the rig going in any direction it wants to

[exbassguide]

The big thing about learning to skip well is practice.. Always remember to leave about 9 or 10 inches of line from your lure to the tip of your rod. This will help load the rod. Just go out and just skip from shore and before you know it you will be skipping like a pro! Spinning rods are easier to learn. Try skipping senkos or tube jigs. They are also the best lures for skipping.. I will try to make a video next week

[joblo252]

yeah i can do that but is there a reason why i'd want to do that while fishin' ?

[exbassguide]

REASON? Ya how about BIG BASS. remember I'm talking about skipping into brush under trees and underdocks. All places the bass love to hide!

Nice vid, but I can guarantee you I could hit that camera every time with a spinning rod. Do that with a baitcast and I will be impressed.

[exbassguide]

Hi Bbkfly

I'm not making the videos in an atempt to impress you or any one! I am making videos to help every one catch more and bigger bass. The video is all about why one way of skipping is better than others.

i just learned how to do this with yamamoto grubs

[bhos13]

Great videos sir, thanks. What types of bait do you prefer for skipping and what types of bait should not or cannot be skipped well?

[exbassguide]

tube jigs and senko baits work very good. The banjo minnow skipps best. Hard to skip baits are Jigs spinner baits and crank baits. You can skip any lure but it takes time to lern.

GREAT video. ilike to try toskip as much as possible , thanks for the tips.

[TonyNobioGiganto]

how the heck do u do that!

[exbassguide]

practice :-)

Roger

[eeeen321]

a flip n' skip eh?? niiiiiiiiicccee. actually kinda tough at first

[exbassguide]

One more great point that you can see about skipping is look at the location the lure first hits the water it is near me. That way the lure does not bounce up, it stays near the top of the water. That is a very big key!

Roger

[Fiin3sse]

like a pitch flip combo that was nice

[exbassguide]

The side arm skip is slightly flawed because of the release point. It is hard to hit the exact release point every time. With the pitch skip you are casting on a vertical plain and the release point only determines the angle the lure hit's the water.

[exbassguide]

On the second and the third cast (on my video) I used my PITCH SKIP. This one takes a lot of practice. It is better to start with the side arm skip, after you have mastered the side arm skip, then proceed to the pitch skip. The pitch skip is better because you can place your lure in small holes in the dock or brush or....

[exbassguide]

When you watch the skipping video look at the first and the third casts, I am using a (what I call) barrel cast. I use that cast to quickly load the rod. This works great for side arm cast (this is the way you should start) when learning to skip.

[exbassguide]

If you are trying to skip under a dock do not have your lure first hit the water right next to the dock. Start your skipping a few feet toward you from the dock. If your first contact with the water is right at the edge of the dock you will have a problem with the bait skipping up under the dock and getting hung up under the dock because the first bounce was too high.

[exbassguide]

Think about how you skip a rock, You bend your body to the side to get a better angle. And when you through a stone you through side arm. It all about force and the angle.

[exbassguide]

Some things to think about when skipping. Do not reel your lure and the way to your rod tip. You will load the rod easier if you have about 12 inches of line between your lure and your rod tip. Next keep you rod tip low when skipping.

nice casting.... good for getting under low tree's/docks ect...
