    Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup czcams.com/users/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

    Thank you so much for the information Mr.Latimer because of you sir i was able to learn to skip 11 months ago with a spinning reel i have practiced for 11 months with a spinning reel so much so that im at a point now that i can skip from the bank to half way across the water , for christmas last year i got my 1st baitcaster so last saturday i went fishing and i noticed that upon my 1st 2 or 3 cast i was only able to skip 3 foot distance , im so glad i learned real fast from you sir. i wanted to thank you for teaching this ole boy to have fun with a baitcaster now i can go out there and really use my new googan baits rattlin chunk craw white pearl and strike king rage craw and strike king ocho pink and white and my new yum dinger next time im out on the water. Now all i gotta do is go out there and catch them.

    To reduce backlashing or blowing up pull out your line to where you think the end of the cast would be then put electrical tape on the reel spool.

  • @anon5955
    @anon5955 Před 5 lety +3

    Your arms were blocking the placement of the first time the lure hits the water. The location of the "first contact point" with the water is very important to achieving a great, long skip. Thanks and CONGRATS!!

    Fished my first tourney today as a non boater on the back of another club members boat. Boater skipped under docks all day and finished top 3. I didnt know how to do this nor had the right equipment but now I have a base to start learning. I might be handicapped in the back but ima be able to skip under these docks after a bit of practice. Thanks BLAT!

    Brian, Thanks for this tutorial. I have struggled with skipping using baitcating equipment. I plan to follow your recommendation and switch to mono on a few of our combos. I have been using a spinning outfit for a few years. Having success. After having my heart broken last trip by not being able to turn a fish under the dock I need to switch to a baitcasting combo.
    Thanks again and God Bless! Regaards, Pastor Dan

    Subscribed after watching a few of your videos recently (and seeing you celebrate after winning a Bass Championship). Beautiful. Your videos have an excellent way of explaining and demonstrating which speeds up learning. I skip baits all the time as I find it triggers Bass. Skipping with a baitcasting reel can still be humbling if you focus on a recent bad cast. I find that when the water has more than a couple of inches of waves, skipping ends. Thank you. Wishing you well.

  • @davidchester8312
    @davidchester8312 Před 5 lety

    Great informative video B Lat. I wish I could use this tactic but I fish in Canada so our boat docks are attached by criss crossing chains under the water anchored to cinder blocks usually. They do this so ice doesn’t rip out the dock out in the winter. I probably could skip docks but with all the chains I might aswell just throw cash in the lake lol.

    • @BrianLatimerFishing

      Christopher Cable-Cheval there’s not a mathematical answer to that. Your point of release depends on distance and how low you need to keep the bait to the water
