One dude said not to try skipping a Carolina rig  I skip Texas rigged worms a lot. I also use a couple of methods to do it. I can do it while pitching or a roll cast or side arm. I like the idea of practicing using your truck to pretend like its a dock, but I don't want to use my truck. I do recommend that if you are new to skipping, you don't start with a Carolina rig... it will tangle more. Once you get it down I think you can probably throw anything under there... And you can use my truck lol..

Constant light pressure on the spool with you thumb and practice.

Jigs, chatter baits, and frogs are good starting points. the best tip I was given is don't completely fill your spool, I don't know why it works but it does.
