I love to flip the bank...don't sleep on skiping with a spinning reel

I love to flip the bank....unfortunately i haven't gotten good enough at skipping with my baitcaster. i had gotten to the point where i would motor around overhanging brush and trees. I started thinking i used to skip my spinning reel under the mangroves all the time so i picked up the old spinning reel again. Just saying we all want to be able to skip a baitcaster but if you can't don't overlook over hangs that you can skip with a spinning reel SHOT IN 720p

This reminds me of my favorite style of fishing. Something I learned years ago watching Guido Hibdon do in BASS tournaments back in the day. I finesse fish small soft plastics with a spinning rod/reel combo and 8 pound mono in cover most folks would be using a bait cast flipping rig and braided 40 or 50 pound line. Very productive. The key to making this work is just to keep light steady pressure on the fish until it swims out of the cover. I've caught a lot of fish doing this and I have never had issues with breaking off. The most critical part of this is fresh line. I changed pretty regularly and retied after every fish if I felt of fray in the line at all............

I don't think I've ever seen you that close to the bank! Looks like you got that down pretty well though

lakewaydr50 those are some good tips. while i do want to get better at skipping a baitcaster for now i'm skipping a spining reel Bissett you're right makes me nervous getting close to the bank but you do what you gotta do ya know.

I do similar things, but I do it 'from' the bank, and into pockets up and down the bank, and under trees, etc. as a bank fisherman, you have to get good at that, or you miss fishing a lot of areas you may not be able to go to by foot - or get hung up too much. Most bank fishermen I know like a spinning reel for this purpose.

Dude, are you lost? What is all of that greenery you are around?

i know right....not normal for me i'm trying to adjust to other styles

Skipping skills are strong.

What were you throwing? Some sort of fluke?

If so, might suggest you slow it down? Why fishing so fast? Not questioning just wondering.

Me? It's skipped a senko up in there and just let it sit for 30 seconds.

Cool video!

Cooper you're right i was kinda fishing it fast. yes normally i throw a fluke and that you can swim kinda slow....at least i do back and forth. all i had was a shadaliscious swimbait and that thing you kinda gotta move it or it has now action. the swimbait i'm throwing now Fat Impact can be swam slower. thanks for the tip

Tight lines my man!
