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!!!
For any of the gear I use all season long you can get it here: www.basspro.co...

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)

Thanks Ott!🙏🙌🎣

[@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!

[@Bassman74]

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

[@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 !

[@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?

[@davidwilliams1805]

Great information! Thank you my friend!

[@glenhall4254]

Thanks for the info been waiting for one on casting

[@Mark-dj5qf]

Thanks Ott! Great series

[@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

[@Demolitiondude]

Saw your mystery tackle box at Bass pro Wednesday.

[@alcav54]

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

[@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!!!

[@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

[@forrhs8430]

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.

[@johnbutler307]

Great video something I need to work on

[@michael_mc_gowan]

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

[@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

[@ks_bass_snob]

Do you adjust the brakes at all from normal?

[@carysimpson4485]

How do you set your reel up for skipping

[@masonmcnabb2429]

No brakes very little spool tension

[@andys1170]

What rod is that?

[@emoutdoors5661]

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 .

[@jerrycandelaria8845]

Maybe you can answer this question I've asked a lot of people and nobody seems to know you indicated you are left-handed you are using a right-handed reel I believe that is correct you are using your strong hand to fight the fish with the rod and your weekend well it's built for the gearing system in the real but everybody seems to have it backwards a right-handed real means you put the rod in your left hand which is your weak hand and you use your strong hand to run the gearing system which was built for your weak hand

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Yes it is kind of confusing. I am left handed in that I write with my left and eat with it. I bat, swing a golf club (not well lol) right handed etc. I don’t know what is correct per se but this is what works for me. It is good to learn to cast with both hands. My left is stronger and can set the hook better with that hand. Hope this helps!

[@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
