THE BEST JIG HEADS FOR SKIP CASTING

[@alleycat8483]

Hi John, you make that look so easy, ive tried twice to skip cast with a baitcaster and the results were not pretty, will stick to my spinning gear for that..

[@TJAMES747]

I've never used the twist lock systems before but i do usually use the z man soft plastics anyway, have also found the atomic prong prawn soft plastics work really well

[@mylurebox]

Good to hear mate. You’re not the first bloke I’ve heard recently loving the prongs either. Must be the go by the sounds. Cheers

[@stephenwilson4432]

Twist locks were a game changer for me !!! Got some after see you talk at Mossops ages ago, thanks again love the videos mate always learning from you 👍

[@mylurebox]

Great to hear they’re working for ya Stephen. I’m a fan of em too eh. Gotta live skip casting mate. Thanks for sending this comment through

[@simplemanfishingvideos1395]

Excellent. Can't wait to try this in Kansas, USA.

[@mylurebox]

Wow!! Great to hear :)

[@1stcastluresfishingadventu637]

Great video full of helpfull tips as usuall. Thanks mate.

[@mylurebox]

My pleasure mate. Thanks a lot ;)

[@paulmorton3902]

Hey John - any updates to your thinking on this one? Has any one got a decent jig/hook in production or still the savage gear?

[@benjamintukavkin3974]

Yes please, where do I get my hands on some custom weighted ewg hooks 🤔

[@kylehenry-smith9062]

Benjamin Tukavkin agree I’m sick of buying prawns for the hooks haha

[@Anth_D]

eBay has a few mate.

[@blueysfishin]

Been using the tt lures weighted chinlocks 6/0 as the chinlockz hold the twist lock from sliding down but some extra lead weight on the shaft would be nice

[@mylurebox]

I’m on it Brad. Same need as I’ve got

[@gindente1214]

You can use some heat shrink on the bend near the eye of the hook to hold plastics in place. Works well on zmans and gulps

[@mylurebox]

Thanks a lot mate. Gonna give that a crack eh

[@davidlove7825]

Owner used to have the sled head. Worked well on snapper.

[@mylurebox]

Cheers David. I’ll have to take a look

[@davidlove7825]

@@mylurebox We used sled heads for snapper and they held up well.

[@cheynedarcysfishing6914]

Thanks man now that jack season has started up it’s helping me a lot, ps do you ever change shirts hahaha

[@mylurebox]

Pretty sure I’ve changed it for my next video. That’s a first ;) haha

[@madkeenmicallef]

Gotta be someone out there putting these hooks into production! Awesome info mate 👍🏼👍🏼when is the jetski hitting the aqua again?

[@mylurebox]

Mate I’m gonna get my head around exactly what I want in em and make a few for crew keen to get Skipping. The ski got wet this week ;)

[@stewarthansen6307]

@@mylurebox just a heads up, have a talk to Simmo at "Sharpoint Jigheads" (mainly on facey)he's on the sunny coast and pours those weighted EWG hooks, I've been running them for barra for the last couple of years and the quality is good

[@luxr3148]

Patience and persistence gets a screw lock into a zman and it will never come out. Best to learn skip casting with spin gear in my view less of a headaches while you are learning the fundamentals.

[@darrenegginton9842]

Where do you purchase your tackle from

[@Dellvincent94]

❤️

[@bergo1980]

Hey mate . What braid and leader you use . And knots used for your set ups . Skip away

[@mylurebox]

Hi Chris. I run 20lb castaway or bionic braid at the moment and FC Rock Fluorocarbon leader with an FG and a loop knot to the plastic ;)

[@bergo1980]

@@mylurebox awesome thanks heaps mate

[@Charles-bd5qi]

Have you tried skipcasting with the new Zerek weedless vibes? If not please try and possibly give a review? Fat Betty is my favourite colour for barra.

[@mylurebox]

I’ll have to get on it. At a guess I’m saying probably not but gotta try to be sure.

[@lukesticklen6955]

Hey mate what hooks/size/brand do you run with for skip casting the zman frogs on surface for bass. Want them to walk on the top of the water rather than sub surface. Been using the molex frogs at borumba and maroon with great results but they get pricey when get strung up and loose em. I've got several packets of the frogs ive had for years but never had to use em. Time to get em out. Cheap and the bass love by the looks. Cheers

[@mylurebox]

Hey mate. The Gamakatsu fine ewg hooks are the go for em I reckon.

[@fusionxti]

Sic vid! How did you find those hooks? More weight you recon?

[@mylurebox]

Yeah mate. I like the extra weight eh. Gets me into the strike zone

[@fusionxti]

Yeah righto. Ill go a bit heavier.

[@bruiser71]

I have struggled to find the weighted worm hook with the weight towards the front. The only one you can seem to buy is if you purchase the Savage 3D Shrimp. Expensive for one hook. Why don't you get the person you get yours from to make you a lot of them and sell them on your website?

[@mylurebox]

I’m on it Richard. Gonna get a few made for my channel skip casters

[@benjamintukavkin3974]

I'd buy a 2 packs of each 🤦‍♂️🙏

[@kylehenry-smith9062]

mylurebox that would be good John.

[@BooKerm-xo9jw]

I'd buy a couple of packs as well, keen to learn

[@jonirenicus66]

I am new to using plastics, do you have a video showing how to put them on the funky hooks? I got the zman finesse frogs and offset shank worm ewg hooks you recommended in another video :D

[@mylurebox]

Gday Jon. If you binge through a few of my finesse frogs vids and how I rig em you’ll see some of the details in there I’m sure. I’m gonna have to put one together in the coming weeks ;)

[@JT-vm5ww]

Hey mate, I use the twist locks on plastics, I don’t normally use zman, but why do they not work on zman’s

[@mylurebox]

They’re too stretchy to puncture and twist through ;)

[@garymcintyre8431]

I have used them on Zman frogz , but it is not easy to get in there.

[@adamwildin640]

What baitcaster rod are you using to throw the 1/8-1/4 oz lures?

[@mylurebox]

Gday Adam, I live my Shimano Bass Raider 510 3-6kg. It’s light and a bit under gunned for big Jack but I still make it work ;)

[@adamwildin640]

@@mylurebox thank you! I might have a look at one for my lighter bass fishing

[@bigtaydog7104]

Would a zerek flat shad work?

[@mylurebox]

Yes mate. Though they’re weight is pretty heavy. A lighter weight makes it easier.

[@dantolo817]

Can u only skip with baitcastor reels

[@mylurebox]

Spinning outfits are easier I reckon.

[@davidraguse2106]

What size savage gear shrimp do you buy for right hook size?

[@mylurebox]

It’s not the smaller sizes. I’m not 100% but it’s the bigger of the 3 sizes I see at BCF.
