Great video Andy!!!! I love to skip under trees and docks. My current skipping setup is the Team Lews Signature Series 7’2 Heavy Moderate Fast jig/worm rod paired with a 7:5:1 Lews Custom SLP reel spooled with 20 lb Seguar Red Label. My favorite jig for skipping is a 1/2 or 3/8 oz Strike King tour grade skipping in Bama Craw with a green pumpkin rage bug trailer.

Just can't say enough about Andy Montgomery! He is a joy to watch and a joy to the ministry of Christ. God bless you Andy and keep catching them and keep the faith. I hope to meet you one day. As for a skipping comment I would love to learn I just started back to Bass fishing a year ago and me and my wife LOVE IT. It's something we truly love to do together.
I have to admit, where I fish there is no docks. 😬 That being said, I skip the river under bushes and just to keep getting better. I really believe some times just skipping open water makes it look like a fish fleeing. Helps my confidence.
I love your skipping rod and skipping reel. Finally learned how to skip. I learned in our above ground pool, (wife wasn’t real happy) worked anyway. Thanks Andy!
I watch all the Kings of Bass videos and really think they give great imformation .I own 4 off the skipping reels 2 are on 7ft. 3in. LEWS medium heavy for short casting skipping and 2 on LEWS HACKNEY 7ft. 6in. heavy for pitching GREAT COMBO
Skipping a weightless Rage Bug on a 3/0 Gamakatsu EWG under docks with a Lew's BB1 Pro with 10 lb Power Pro braid on a St. Croix 6' MLF from my kayak is my favorite set up. Fish on!
Tremendous angler and gentleman. Andy is dedicated professional and above all a down to earth guy. Helpful in many ways and met him a few times. . My all time setup and fished regurly is a Lews super duty 8:3:1 on a 7'6" signature series Greg hackney Flippin stick. Strike king tungsten weight with a string king rage bug tied to 15 lb seaguar fluorocarbon
Andy is always a pleasure to watch. He has a great sense of humor, and when he's doing a video on skipping it's best to pay attention. I think he is probably the best at this technique. Myself I have been using a Lew's Tournament MP reel paired with a 6'6" medium heavy rod. I would really like to try the Lew's Pro SP and the Andy Montgomery Signature Rod. I own several Lew's reels and like any bass angler I could always use one more. Keep up the good work with Kings of Bass, And keep making the best tackle in the business.
Andy's videos are great. My skipping setup is on a Lew's Mach Smash rod MH and reel. I use a Strike King Skipping jig with a Rage Bug trailer. This combo has worked well for getting to those normally unreachable places.
Going to be totally honest; I started following Kings of Bass TV to learn the proper way to plan, purchase, and fish for bass. I have no idea what is an ideal setup, but am planning tom learn as much as I can for next season. After years of dropping the hook and worm into the water and waiting, it is time to plan for the next step and join my friends and family to experience "Bass Fever". Thank you for the insight you provide and have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!
7'3" MH Daiwa Tatula Elite Rod w/ Tatula Elite reel 8.1:1 w/20lb SK Contra 3/8oz Hack Attack w/ Rage Baby Menace. These are some fantastic videos... learning never stops.
What a awesome video. Thanks for sharing the tips. I think I’d rather spend a day on the water with Andrew then any other pro. Just to learn the proper way to skip. It will help me greatly on Kentucky lake docks.
I am trying to learn skipping a jig but so far I have not had much success in mastering the technique. I believe my lack of the proper equipment may have a lot to do with the issue. I plan on getting the Lews signature skipping rod along with the Pro SP skipping reel, 20# test flourocarbon, a strike king skipping jig and a Rage Menace trailer. Hopefully with that setup I can be as half as good as Andy. 😊
My lake has tons of docks and skipping them is a great way to catch bass. I use a 7ft H rod with 8:1 reel. My line is 20-pound fluorocarbon with strike king skipping jigs and craw trailer in watermelon red.
Andy is one of my favorites- and if you look at all the Tatulas I got you would believe me - Andy said they were so I bought a bunch of em. They do skip good though - haven’t tried any of Lews skipping reel - have to try one - one of these days - still love Andy!!!!!
Love this series! I don't have a preference on a skipping setup I just use what I have. Currently I use a Lew's BB1 bc I can cast my jig a mile (much needed on Lake Cumberland) or skip/flip with it.
My skipping setup is pretty much just like Andy's, his Signature Series Lew's skipping rod, Lew's Pro SP skipping reel, Strike King Pro Model skipping jig with a Mid Rage Bug trailer. Always throwing 20# Gamma Edge
lews MH-125HL SPEED SPOOL ,AND Mach II Speed Stick med heavy 7.0,20 lbs braid, love throwing frogs, hoolapoppers, and floating bugs or minnows. the video was great, really picked up some good tips,and strategy(s).Thanks for coming back out on a new video.
I ve been looking forward to this season of kings of bass TV.. I'd give anything to have the stuff to start skipping I only have 2 lews hank parker 6.10 poles an 2 lews spinning reels I wanna get a baitcaster so bad my dream skipping setup would be andys skipping poles any lews baitcaster with braid .or fluorocarbon 10 or 12 pd with some of andys old jigs lol but I'd be just as happy with any bluegill..blackan blue ...watermelon jig with matching rage craw or tail behind it.. .. thank you for the great content with some the greatest fishermen an company's there is..
So excited for Kings of Bass to be back!! My ideal skipping rod has been a 7’2 heavy Rod from daiwa with lews classic pro and 20 lb flouro. I prefer the outkast tackle cage feider jig for skipping in either 1/2 or 3/8 oz paired with a rage bug or a rodent depending on if the fish want action or not
Looks cold Andy! I use a 6'6" Lews medium heavy and a Lews tournament reel with 14 LB. Viscious line. WE will be fishing the Big Bass tournament at Lake Hartwell this month so see ya there!
Great video! I'm just starting to develop my skipping skills. My success rate (It goes where I want it to) is about 1 in 3 casts....I have a long way to go to get where I want to be. It's great to see a cast hit perfectly! I'm currently using the Johnny Morris Carbonlite 2.0 bait cast combo on a medium heavy rod.
Love the tips from Andy!!!! My skipping setup is a 7’1 Medium Heavy St. Croix Mojo Bass paired up up with a Lew’s Tournament Pro spooled with 20 lb Contra line. My favorite jig for skipping is the Strike King Skipping Jig with a Strike King Rage Bug trailer.
My skipping setup is as follows taking from the rod. TEAMLEW’S Signature Series Andy Montgomery TLS69H 6’9” Power: Heavy Action: Fast. TEAMLEW’S PSP1XH ProSP skipping reel. Tour grade 1/2 oz Strike King skipping jig blue/black. Strike King Rage Bug 4” black blue flake and Seaguar TATSU 20 lb 100% fluorocarbon. Went to my boat to make sure I wrote everything right. 😜 BTW, I wish I could find Rage bugs in bulk. I have dang gar fish that pulls the craws off. Happy fishing! 😀
I grew up fishing D’Arbonne…it is a great fishery. It sucks that the weather came in and shut them down. By the time Caney rolled around. The weather had started to warm and some big fish were caught. The biggest in a Bass Pro Tour event, actually. Randy Howell owned that record for a little more than 24 hours before he broke his own record the following day on Bussey.
I use the 8.3 Lew's Pro SP/AM Signature Series Skipping rod for skipping the Strike King Skippin Buzz with a RageSwimmer up under laydowns, undercut banks, and docks. I need to get another Pro SP in the 7.5 gear ratio for skipping Thunder Crickets with a Blade Minnow on the back of it underneath docks.
I skip with a St. Croix 7' 1" medium heavy fast action rod and a Lew's Pro SP Baitcast Reel. I use a 1/2 oz Z-Man David Walker's Crosseyez Flippin' Jig with a Z-Man Goat Twin Tail Grub in Canada Craw on 15lb Seaguar InvizX Fluorocarbon Line
If money was no concern, my ideal setup would be a Falcon Expert 7' 3" Amistad rod using a KastKing Kestrel Elite Bait Finesse Casting Reel. My line choice is Strike King Tour Grade Braid with Strike King Tour Grade Fluorocarbon 12lb leader. I would tie on a V&M Pacemaker Skipping Jig using Strike King Rage Tail Ned Bug as a trailer. I've attempted to learn this technique but still going to need lots of practice.
My ideal setup would be what you’re giving away but at the moment I don’t have a skipping specific rod and reel. I just use my Lews ProTi reel and Veritas medium heavy 7.0ft rod with 15lb seagaur fluorocarbon line with jig/senko rig.
I use a baitcaster for everything except skipping. That’s when I use my spinning reels with braid. I don’t like pulling out overruns with a baitcaster. If I had a baitcasting reel designed for skipping it sure use it instead. I’m usually pitching with my baitcasters.
James Rich It sure looks cold… My setup: 7ft, MH, lews rod, with 8.3.1 FLS lews reel, 15lb lews Seaguar INVIZX FC Fishing Line, 1/8th oz tungsten weight, gamakatsu 3in wide gap hook with strike King 4in rage bug creature bait.

Andy is the best. Psyched for Kings of Bass to be back!!
I fished there a couple of times in my college days! Makes me want to go back almost 40 years later! Glad KOB is back, enjoyed it.

Love the rigs that y’all use to pull your boats
Ideal set up would be whatever ol Andrew uses. In Oklahoma I’ll run 65 pound braid using a football head jig with a strike king rodent as a trailer

this is a hard time to fish but i like the ways you suggest options for for skipping under tis adverse conditions

Winter time in Arkansas is my favorite time to fish. Less people and bigger fish.
Just getting into really throwing jig. Set up I use now is a lews lfs, dobyns fury rod and berkley trilene
I am trying to save my money to buy the Lew's skipping reel that Andy and Kevin fish but for right now I use a spinning reel
Looks cold Andy! I use a 6'6" Lews medium heavy and a Lews tournament reel with 14 LB. Viscious line. WE will be fishing the Big Bass tournament at Lake Hartwell this month so see ya there!

Not very many docks to skip on the canals I fish . When I try skipping I use a laser MG on a St. Croix Triump.
Excellent

I need to get another Pro SP in the 7.5 gear ratio for skipping Thunder Crickets with a Blade Minnow on the back of it underneath docks.

I'm old school.. i do have a spinner bait set up.. but I use my Berkeley cherry wood 6-6. With Quantum hyper cast
If money was no concern, my ideal setup would be a Falcon Expert 7' 3" Amistad rod using a KastKing Kestrel Elite Bait Finesse Casting Reel. My line choice is Strike King Tour Grade Braid with Strike King Tour Grade Fluorocarbon 12lb leader. I would tie on a V&M Pacemaker Skipping Jig using Strike King Rage Tail Ned Bug as a trailer.

6,8 heavy with 20 lb fluro and the strike king skipping jig!
I am just learning to skip, since I am mostly a bank fisherman. I need all the help I can get.
I use a baitcaster for everything except skipping. That’s when I use my spinning reels with braid. I don’t like pulling out overruns with a baitcaster. If I had a baitcasting reel designed for skipping it sure use it instead. I’m usually pitching with my baitcasters.

I don't have skipping set up I use what got and that is a Berkeley Lightning ⚡ Rod with a Lew's BB1 Speed reel with Sunline Flo and a 4 inch Senko
my only complaint with this series is that there isn’t much actual fishing/coverage of the tournament day. If that was included this is a 10/10 series
Ideal setup would include lews pro sp skipping reel, dobyns 6-10 skipping rod, andy Montgomery skipping jig with rage bug trailer
baitcast, sunline, football jig, crayfish
Lews andy montgomery 7'1" skipping rod, pro slp and a structure/skipping jig
