Ott’s Garage | The Skipping Cast

Lot of similarities here to the roll cast but your bait selection is key when trying to skip. Even Andy Montgomery can’t skip some baits!!!

Great video as always. This was definitely very helpful and informative. Appreciate all you do Ott!

[@williamperry1085]

Man thank you. You help me so much. I love your video's. Great teacher....ty. Gregg Perry

[@swsexton1829]

Great video Ott. I’m a Carolina man and another tip would be instead of the tape ( especially if you have small hands) only fill your reel spool halfway. And if you are short don’t use a long rod(I skip with a 6’-10” rod)

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

Thanks Ott for the skipping tutorial and the story about who taught you. You learned from one of the best! I'm going to save this one to refer back to. See you at Bussy Brake!

[@Mark-dj5qf]

Thanks Ott! Great series

[@alcav54]

If I remember Andy did a skipping video on Edwin’s channel

[@davidwilliams1805]

Great information! Thank you my friend!

[@michaelb489]

Hey Ott i am going to be in TN in June 17 th or so. Lets go fishing! Lmao Andy going to be mad 😂

[@dclark583]

Thanks, can you do tips on frog fishing, as far as braided line how you spool yours to keep it from digging in, when you catch big fish?

[@joepworther2284]

Great vid Ott, I throw a cast with both hand to, because I'm also lefthanded, and I'll practise today on the lake with your tips, thanks !

[@glenhall4254]

Thanks for the info been waiting for one on casting

[@charlesmittl5300]

I do more wading than anything and the only thing I can skip is a frog usually. You boat guys have us beat on that

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Great tutorial video!!! In the future could you make a video showing it on the water which would be a big help. Stay Safe & God Bless!!!

[@johnbutler307]

Great video something I need to work on

[@Demolitiondude]

Saw your mystery tackle box at Bass pro Wednesday.

[@clarynick]

Hard to master I’ll tell you!!! I’ll go at it for a little then get frustrated and move on usually. Maybe I’ll give it another try with your tips!!! Thanks

[@michael_mc_gowan]

Next week will be the product video of Ott showing how sturdy those Lithium batteries are. Lol

All I know is I keep trying, but it ain't easy!🙁 I can't afford the true skipping bait casting reels, so what's the best setup reel if it isn't a true skipping baitcasting reel. Ratio? Line test? Drag setting? Best Rod length and power? I can skip a spinning reel setup all day long, but trying to do a bait casting reel is tough. I know I need to practice more, but I need to get the best setup advice.

Man bear pig by reaction innovations is my favorite skipping lure. Texas rigged. 👌

[@nflisrigged1395]

And if u bird nest , just pull all the loops up , up up ....
Just keep pulling it , you can get em out . Find knot and pull up pull up , it'll come off .

[@ks_bass_snob]

Do you adjust the brakes at all from normal?

[@billdye3530]

Is there a certain weight line & type that works better for skipping a 1/2 ounce bait? Example : 15 to 17lb or smaller line & braid compared to flurocarbon? Appreciate you. 🙏 👍

[@masonmcnabb2429]

Everyone likes different things and has different preferences. Personally for me, I prefer 25lb-50lb braid, 3/8 - 1/2 jig, chatterbait, or Texas rig unpegged, no brakes, no spool tension whatsoever, no matter a 60$ Walmart reel or 250$ daiwa I skip this way.

[@masonmcnabb2429]

I’ve found the zero mag brakes diminishes left shooting baits/skips, and personally for me skipping is based on thumb pressure on spool to regulate line, and match that with a parallel-to-surface rod tip I’ve found this the best way to process and practice skipping

[@mikel.4885]

Ott how do i talk to someone about a bait design ive been working on

[@carysimpson4485]

How do you set your reel up for skipping

[@masonmcnabb2429]

No brakes very little spool tension

[@andys1170]

What rod is that?

[@jamesbarron1202]

I was good at skipping school

[@sk8dwrld]

just a lot of haters everywhere. so many people hate themselves enough that it spews to others
