  • I finally test the overlooked skip setting on the IDC 4 brakes found on the SLX DC and Curado DC! Can it turn a novice into a pro?

      That’s how I cast rolling when I’m casting under trees I don’t know if it’s right or not I’ve also been fishing out of my new kayak a lot been crank bait fishing a lot I could not use Floracarbon for the longest every time I would cast it it would backlash I finally realized I’m in a boat I don’t have to make far cast Well what I learned was if the spool tension knob is not properly set you’re going to get a backlash Now I can cast Flora carbon almost as far as braid

    Skipping lures in open water often attracts fish from great distances. Skipping creates a reaction strike from feeding or schooling fish. It imitates a fleeing bait fish very closely. Think of a dog seeing his favorite ball come bouncing by when in the mood to play. He will chase after it and catch the ball. Fish will do the same; it is not for just putting baits under overhanging bushes or under docks. The same action of skipping a flat rock is the same as skipping a lure. The difference is the rod tip is the end of your finger.

  • @SamEichers

    I use left handed reels so I can stop the lure very quickly after a skip or any cast in general. Also feels more natural to me since I'm used left hand spinning reels in my childhood.

      As a French I never understood why a lot of people in the us tend to fish with right hand reel, since they throw from the right they have to switch hands to retrieve so you kinda loose the casting reel purpose.
      I think marling bait uses right hand reel but he throws from the left hand so that make sense.
      Do you guys have an explanation to that, it always made me curious.
      Wish you a good day :)

  • @nateroo

    Nice vid... by now you've probably practiced a lot more and gotten pretty good...may I offer just a couple suggestions that helped me when I first learned to skip. 1. use a one-handed roll-cast 2. once you release the bait on that roll cast and it hits water, keep the rod tip in a slow motion lift as you follow the skipping bait. This helps keep "lift" on the bait as it's skipping across the surface. Once I got these two things down, it came naturally. Thanx for sharing your experience!

  • @opietaylor5778
    @opietaylor5778 2 місяці тому

    When you skip you gotta have the bait lower then how you normally cast. Idk if that helps you a little but yeah it’s about angles and all that math stuff so it being lower will help with angles. Just like when you skip a rock you got to do it low higher won’t skip as good.

Also what do you think about gong lei... that guys pretty awesome at casting and he also likes shimano equipment.... Thanks for your videos and input...

    • @THEREELTEST
      @THEREELTEST  3 роки тому

      its $190. But try this first with your current baitcaster. Set Your spool tension to just minimize the side to side play. Then turn your brakes up all the way and try to pitch that way. Then slowly start backing off your brakes until your line starts to overrun on the pitch. Turn the brakes up 1 or 2 settings and that should be the optimal pitching setup for your reel.
