How to skip jigs under docks like a pro
- Featuring Andy Montgomery - Skipping Master
- Jig Head needs to be flat'ish and a great bait keeper (screw lock)
- Thread the trailer on deeper not shorter
- 1/2oz is the best weight for skipping
- Rod should have a lot of tip action and stiff backbone
- Bait should hit the water as close to target as possible parallel to water
The Most Important Skill Beginning Anglers Must Learn...
- Learn to cast well
- Practice in your yard at targets
- Cast right and left handed
- Use different weight lures
Ott's Garage | Flipping
- Pitching & Flipping are not the same, but they can be complimentary
- Flipping doesn't use the reel
- You are picking up and putting down the lure without reeling
- Flipping is for fast casting at the same distance
Ott’s Garage | The Skipping Cast
- Use a 1/2oz jig with a flat body creature trailer to learn
- Wind up is similar to a roll cast
- Bait should make first contact with the water no more than 5 ft before the target
- At least a foot of line between rod tip and bait
