    I really enjoy your channel. Thanks. I’ve been fishing 50 years and just learned to skip baits with a spinning rod about three years ago. Not only great around docks, but I’ve learned this is a super technique for bank/pond fishing where a quiet entry can make or break the day. I usually skip stick baits like a senko and so I was intrigued to see you skipping the Dark Sleeper. Something new to try. Oh yes, thanks for your earlier tip on this bait. Popping it off the bottom works in small lakes and ponds too.

    Maybe I'm easily impressed because I just don't get the time on the water that most of you do, but to me that's amazing!! You hit that 12-16 spot on the first try? I'd be all wrapped around the cable, or dock handrail sending my buddy on the dock to go it!! LOL!! Great video Randy!!

    Starting out on a spinning rod was very helpful for me when first learning. Transfer to the baitcaster was much easier after after getting really comfortable. Hope this may help someone:-)

      I am good with a spinning reel and decent with a baitcaster. I'm deadly accurate with regular casting with a baitcaster but I struggle with the right amount of brake, etc to use for skipping. It seems like I always get a small backlash and spend more time pulling it out instead of just going to working the lure.

      @Huntn_fish365 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@cross_fire_ as do we all, if you ain’t getting backlashes when skipping. You aren’t really skipping. Just keep at it! After you fling the lure/bait across the water, lift the rod tip to the sky toward the end of the skip and it will help slow the bait down and pull out some of that backlash. Sometimes enough that it pulls it all the way out and you are ready to engage the spool and start your retrieve. Hope this helps

    Hey Randy love your channel. I’ve been a fisherman for 55 years and still find new information that I incorporate into my fishing. I’ve been learning to skip lures and noticed a lot of videos recommend rolling your wrists. Is this just the technique to use when using a baitcast. I noticed you did not do this when you skip using the spin cast reel.

    Sir, could you please do a comparison of skipping jigs with a curado DC vs a standard baitcaster. This type comparison has not been done and it has never been addressed on you tube. Due to two totally different braking systems, people are confused about the ability of a DC reel to skip as good as a traditional baitcaster brake system.

    I skip docks where there are a lot of big pikes far above 1 meter plus! I live in the Netherlands. I want to use a spinning setup for skipping for big perch 50cm+ perch. So they are like smallmouth in your country. But i am scared to use a spinning rod becauses i need to get them out of heavy cover and a lot of the times you will get the big pikes eating a finesse jig i want to skip so i use strictly Baitcasters to skip with 50lbs braid minimum to catch those bigger perch. I wish i could skip smaller finesse style jigs but it is to risky!

    Good video Randy. How far from your target area in general do you hit the water with your bait? It appears that your fairly close to the boat yet when your bait hits the water. And if that’s the case how do you get the momentum to skip that far. I’m just learning to skip with a bait caster. I think I will take your advice and switch back to a spinning reel until I get it figured out. Thanks.
