SKIP Your JIG Where No One Else Can... (Works Every Time)

Skipping a jig is one of the best ways to get your bait in front of a bass that has not seen a lure for a while, which is an aggressive bass!

When it comes to skipping a jig, one of the biggest things that you can do is make sure you set you jig up for success. There are a ton of jigs on the market but there are a few that are going to skip better than others.
Along with your jig, you also want to select the right jig trailer. Have a jig trailer that is very wide is also going to help you skip a jig further!
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

I’ve watched a lot of videos on skipping and do it myself on almost every outing but I have to say, you have it down like nobody else. That video you did using normal, backhand, non dominant hand forward and backhand was just crazy. Truly impressive!!

[@toddforsythe3109]

I gotta be honest. I ran into one of your educational video randomly. Now I am a huge fan. I’ve improved so much with my baitcasting. Now I’m working toward skipping. I truly appreciate your videos. By FAR the best at teaching and explaining exactly what you’re doing and why. I watched a pond video you posted and I actually used what you taught today. Corners and points. THANK YOU!!!

[@richardbumpuscjf347]

I have a lot of fond memories of fishing as a child and also watching bassmasters on TV. I am 58 years old. I couldn’t afford my first boat until around the age of 36. I fished hard for a lot of years basically knowing nothing. So many things I do are self taught. I am a master at another craft. I also teach. What I am getting at is this. You are gifted. You have the ability to explain things and demonstrate at a very high level. You’re going to go far with this. Hey, my youngest daughter is having my 5th grandson this summer and he is already named Finn. She came up with that on her own. I need an infant size Finn T-shirt made.

[@SpookyRedz]

I have to say your skipping ability is unbelievable, it’s so great , sincerely

[@turkeytx]

best example of skipping I've seen. covering the bait, rod, reel, and hand arm motions is excellent. thanks for the video.

[@gunn89]

Thank you. Seen many skipping videos and couldn't wait for another one from you

[@joespafford6499]

Really appreciate your content, I find your information very informative and it from a different perspective than a lot of other people I follow but it also helps me notice similarities of things that'll actually work in my bodies of water up here in the Pacific Northwest, Idaho

[@jasonromo4416]

Awesome vid. Just started practicing skipping a Yum Dinger with a spinning rod. As soon as I get a new casting rod (4 pounder smoked my Chatterbait the other night and broke my rod tip) I'll get out and start skipping jigs! Thanks for the knowledge, I'm off to get the tools!

[@chidrummer1]

I know you have so many people comment, but I have really learned and taken your help and really applied it and you have helped me so much. Thank you brother. Because it has helped me catch fish I never have caught before.

[@mysteryman5213]

Excellent tutorial Tyler...thanks. I'm new to the sport and only fish from the shore so the need to skip a lure hasn't really presented itself thus far. I'll certainly be practicing the technique so I'll be ready when I do need it.

[@2011dylane]

Thanks for explaining it in detailed. Most people that makes these videos doesn't explain it like you do.

[@lsenglvuel]

Love your videos! Always so informative! Keep it up! 👍🏻

[@petergibson1087]

Good instructions! You make it look so smooth! Thanks

[@Zword316]

Wow that’s really easy to understand. You’re a good teacher. 👍 I like these types of videos that you do.

[@callaseter4811]

I came upon your videos by accident. Thank you ! I wish these type instructional videos were around 40+ years ago. You’re truly a master at fishing. And an incredible master at instructing others how to do it ! Excellent job ! Please continue! 👍🙏🥰

[@JS-oy6nn]

Talk about skipping like a boss you definitely have the skills. Just got one of those Bruin ELS reels today and put line on it a little bit ago. Gonna try it out tomorrow morning and see how it goes. Seems like a really good reel, very smooth.

[@rollin37]

had a situation today where I even told myself now is the time to learn. perfect timing this video came out!!

[@ReelAppalachianAngler]

Man I really have to work on my skipping skills. You make it look so effortless. As someone who's tried it, I can promise you it takes effort

[@nsmturbo5902]

For sure, I spend more time picking out knots when I skip... lol

[@ReelAppalachianAngler]

@@nsmturbo5902 I get really lucky sometimes, but definitely not consistent enough for me to consider myself someone who "can skip". I'm mainly someone who "accidentally skips" sometimes

[@mrpickles2170]

@@nsmturbo5902 made few good skips, he makes it look to easy! One of those skips was in a drain that connected ponds, the fish crushed it before it hit bottom. Worth learning!! High brakes and back down helped me with confidence on what my reel can do, you wont get good range at first but will as you lighten brakes up and get the feel.

[@FreedomFishing]

Haha same. My skipping is more like 'plopping.' Definitely working on this this year.

[@richardyekel3131]

Awesome breakdown on each step, appreciate the tips.

[@jeapers23]

Thanks for the great info. I definitely need practice on skipping. It’s definitely easier to do in a boat then in a kayak.

[@dannyg7531]

Another awesome video. Also, thanks for the floating worm trick. Second cast on that technique and I snatch one out of the shade! Would you think about a video about when to throw every type of topwater?

[@rodcashman4793]

Great information thank you for sharing 👍 Good luck this season 👍

[@georgeward2002]

Thank you fir the info. I've had a lot of trouble skipping, this will help.

[@georgebramblett6078]

Darn good video Tyler thank you always look forward to your videos

[@Michaelreaman]

I haven’t watched the video yet but the compilation in the beginning is so cool 🤣 i definitely gotta learn how to do this

[@eddiehawk8861]

Great skipping skills. I need lots of practice. Thanks for the tips.

[@Kevin-gl6ir]

There is no doubt your skipping and other fishing techniques are very impressive. I am a huge fan of your videos and often watch them before many others. I appreciate your guidance and tips as I have ventured through the baitcasting relm this past year. Skipping is the latest process I am trying to learn. I will say that I am curious which knot you use to tie jigs.....

[@DavidS19551]

Love watching your videos, the biggest thing is you really need to be in a boat . I think I mentioned this on one of your other videos. It's kind of harder to do from the bank, especially if you have trees around you or someone next to you, like someone who talks to much and gets on your nerves lol!

[@wilmerpruitt6324]

Excellent presentation, well done my friend. Lots of detailed information which is where success is, in the details. Seldom does anyone mention the weight needing to be heavier, which helps in the process.

[@Techangler65]

Great class. Keep up the great work

[@williamgould2470]

I watched a lot of videos on skipping with a big caster but yours are the very best. No one ever seems to mention that they have to thumb the real Or when to start thumbing it.

[@brkyq]

Electrical tape awesome tip works well. Skipping works over submerged cover well. Even around bait in open water. Overlooked by people looking for the soft entry but mimics fleeting baitfish and can load the boat when the fish are a bit negative. Great video. Seem like YOU could skip a Roman Made mother.

[@oneshoeless]

I really appreciate the tips. I fish from a kayak and I believe it is actually easier to skip because I am so low to the water. I've been working on this every time I've been able to go out on the water. The tape thing is going to save me a bunch of time. I didn't think of that!

[@stratos175escape7]

I fish from a kayak as well and I'm the opposite, tougher for me to skip in it. Positioning seems to be more important in kayak. Skipping with baitcaster have not tried much, guess I will need to work on that.

[@oneshoeless]

@@stratos175escape7 My target has to be between 1-3 oclock. (Casting right handed) If I get too far sideways it is really difficult.

[@lilo2628]

I tried skipping with no research and obviously it was a birdnest mess lol. You've broken down skipping so amazingly I'll need to give it another try. 👍 Ty for the great content.

[@junito121486]

Thank you so much you have no idea how much this video helped me . I appreciate you

[@FishnTheSouthOkanagan78]

Great video, very informative The only questions I have are: -how far should your boat be away from the dock/bank? -if a backseater (co-angler) is trying to skip a jig and there’s Talons in the way and isn’t great at backhanded skipping, what would you suggest that angler try to do in that situation and position?

[@billray3046]

Great video! Thanks

[@farrzmd3038]

I picked up a super small spool for my baitcaster, holds maybe 85 yards of 8 lb test to try and learn skipping. I fish from the bank and there are a few overhanging bush areas I really wanna try to target.

[@Cdmjr71]

Great video as always, I need a lot of practice

[@darrellclintonoutdoors9169]

You have to be one of the best at skipping bait's next to Andy Montgomery I really love what you have done with the channel I can skip my bait but not the way I see you doing it in this video but keep the great videos coming buddy and I will keep watching and learning from them

That was awesome!! Now I just got to get out on the water and practice it. Well maybe in the spring!!! lol Stay Safe & God Bless!!

[@ichphan]

Great content and tips on skipping

[@davidbrown-55]

Great vid boss. Skipping is an art. So your lure actually does a circle motion before you let it loose on the cast?

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

Great video bro. I love these teach show and do style videos.

[@corey8420]

Skipped a jig and a worm for the first time today, what a cool thing. It took me about 2 weeks fishimg everyday to get it but once you do it's easy to do

[@joelvogt2355]

Awesome vid!

[@johnkriete2152]

I’m just learning how to use a baitcast, someone was throwing it out. Getting there. When I was younger I would get on a knee and skip panther martins with a “closed face reel. Hit some nice trout. I’ll be skipping the free baitcaster for sure, with some electrical tape.

[@Fishingmissions827]

Your old skipping video came up same time as this one fire homie

[@44hennon]

That’s one of my favorite docks on that Central Ohio lake ;) was just randomly watching and thought “uh…dude is fishing Alum”

Is anyone designing a skip head jig? I'm sure they have but this is definitely great information. I started by skipping my frog and now working on jigs. Thanks for the video! 🎣

[@user-pp1rb5pt1y]

Hi wondering exactly what rod you are using in this video. brand, length, action etc? Thx GREAT VIDEO

One of the best skipping tutorials on KZbin! Can't believe the time I wasted on other skipping videos.

[@gaw168888]

Thanks!

[@getstraight234]

love the video bro ive been working on perfecting my skipping since last fall and have made tons of headway. just got a question about the trailer. i use a number of dif trailers and when i skip i prefer a beaver just because the wider/flat body. i do also use the craws, but my question is why do you use the rage craw instead of the rage craw craw chunk? after you bite those sections off thats what it is lol.

[@BassFishingHQ]

You are correct. You could probably get away with a rage chunk in a lot of situations. But I like having just a smidge more plastic

I have been practicing the skip. But it hasn't been that great for me. I have been using the swim jig. A had a good day last week with doing it. But that was really it. And damn does it feel amazing when it goes right. But I will keep at it. And how do you like those Bruin bait casters? Are they really good? Is it worth the 180.00? Or should I grab a Shimano SLX DC

[@jsage5]

Nice tutorial

[@Tom-ic7hw]

sick

[@hunterbull7804]

I think my best piece of advice would be to pick a reel with magnetic brakes instead of centrifugal. Shimanos with their centrifugal brakes are distance casters but can get squirrely when you skip with them.

[@6cwl9]

With a spinning set up skipping is easy but when I do it with my baitcaster I get frustrated quick

Question here!!! I know this is a jig skipping video but sinse we're on skipping... I picked up a couple packs of Bounty Fish to try out, and it took me a while to find a hook big enuff for them and picked up some "Gama 7/0 EWG Monster Worm hooks" and the bait immediately sinks! Can I get a hook recommendation on something that can handle a frog rod from anyone?

6/0 Fusion EWG works for me

[@jimmcculloch5825]

It looks like your jig is 3 to 4 feet from the rod tip when you start your cast. Is that correct?
