How to Skip Baits with a Baitcaster | The Details 

Guy stopped by while i was fishing the other evening.. it was about 42 deg right at sunset... he asked isnt it to cold to fish.. i said im not sure but its not to cold to practice... lol

Have watched more than a few of your vids. Your skill at explaining techniques in a manner that is understandable by non-professionals is unmatched. I am a fan!

But can you teach me how to skip visits from my inlaws?

Just flat out an exceptional video on skipping baits!

Been wanting to learn to skip for years. All I can say after watching this very informative video, is man great beard!

Man, you are just the most practical and informative bass pro. Thanks for sharing Brian much appreciate.

Great job Brian on keeping it simple and easy to understand 👍

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ru-vid.comUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

Just from watching your videos and how you carry yourself I can tell you are going to be very successful in life not only fishing but everywhere else along the way keep on teaching like you do and keep it up for our youngsters congrats on the win

B Lat always dropping knowledge and excellent tips! Keeping that rod tip low to high and commitment is key. Love the football analogy too.

Seriously one of my favorite pros, thanks for the tips! Keep up the good work, and God bless!

Awesome video Brian this is by far the best and most detailed video I have watched about skipping docks. Thanks!

Another great teaching video! Thanks for sharing B Lat!

Man...I love all your videos. New and old. I learn so much from you and am looking to get my first boat to get into some amateur tournaments this year, partly cuz of you. Just hard to find the money, but the drive is stronger and I want nothing more than to become a "professional" angler...keep on inspiring man....love you and everything you bring to fishing....

Love the low down you're keeping it real right to the point keep up the great work I can't wait to see you winning the bass masters classic one day awesome job Have fun tight lines

Thank you so much for the information Mr.Latimer because of you sir i was able to learn to skip 11 months ago with a spinning reel i have practiced for 11 months with a spinning reel so much so that im at a point now that i can skip from the bank to half way across the water , for christmas last year i got my 1st baitcaster so last saturday i went fishing and i noticed that upon my 1st 2 or 3 cast i was only able to skip 3 foot distance , im so glad i learned real fast from you sir. i wanted to thank you for teaching this ole boy to have fun with a baitcaster now i can go out there and really use my new googan baits rattlin chunk craw white pearl and strike king rage craw and strike king ocho pink and white and my new yum dinger next time im out on the water. Now all i gotta do is go out there and catch them.

Great vid...clear and concise. Has some great pointers. Worth the time to watch.

I've watched a lot of skipping videos but this one really lays down the details gives you a lot of stuff to run over and practice and think about thanks brother

I’ve been looking for a great video like this for skipping

Great intel. Thanks for the video Brian.

Thank you so much for the info B Lat! This is one technique that I DEFINITELY need to get better at, and your video is one of the best explained that I’ve seen! Anglers like myself really appreciate a professional like yourself taking the time to explain techniques to us and giving us tips to help with our fishing! Keep up your grind and can’t wait for more technique specific vids! P.S. Finally got me a White Bird casting today after watching your video and can’t wait to get it out on the water and see how it performs! Thanks a million brotha 👊🏽

Great video Brian. Thank you for helping us learn.

Great video! Lots of good info. Too many just fish. You were constantly teaching. I appreciate it.👍🏼🎣

Nice presentation Brian. Very informative. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice been getting a little better everyday since I’ve watched this vid the first time!

Been doing this for years. Learned how to do it as a kid. Didn’t know it was a thang. Great video as always.

Congrats on the win recently! Many more to come!

Great instructional vid Brian 🙂

B LAT best teacher out there thank you for having fun and teaching

Great instructions, starting out low and ending high is great info, going to try it next time out.

Thanks for all the great tips. From California.

Great pointers man! Can’t wait to try em out!

You make casting look so smooth and easy. Thanks from Canada

Shimano DC on setting four skips like a dream and I agree mono or mono coated or floor coated mono best thing to use this time of year. Good job congratulations on the little one.

I love you dude, always so helpful. Can't wait to try this.

Fished my first tourney today as a non boater on the back of another club members boat. Boater skipped under docks all day and finished top 3. I didnt know how to do this nor had the right equipment but now I have a base to start learning. I might be handicapped in the back but ima be able to skip under these docks after a bit of practice. Thanks BLAT!

Subscribed after watching a few of your videos recently (and seeing you celebrate after winning a Bass Championship). Beautiful. Your videos have an excellent way of explaining and demonstrating which speeds up learning. I skip baits all the time as I find it triggers Bass. Skipping with a baitcasting reel can still be humbling if you focus on a recent bad cast. I find that when the water has more than a couple of inches of waves, skipping ends. Thank you. Wishing you well.

Thank you for the info and the technique i cant wait to try it out!

great tips b. lat! always good info and great "deatails".

Great tips! I’m going fishing this week from an aluminum boat and a kayak and I’ll be practicing skipping from them.

Smart teacher, great instruction

Brian, Thanks for this tutorial. I have struggled with skipping using baitcating equipment. I plan to follow your recommendation and switch to mono on a few of our combos. I have been using a spinning outfit for a few years. Having success. After having my heart broken last trip by not being able to turn a fish under the dock I need to switch to a baitcasting combo. Thanks again and God Bless! Regaards, Pastor Dan

Great video! Thank you for excellent detail

Congrats on Seminole B Lat. great teaching videos, keep them coming plz

Awsome video... I will have to keep practicing my skipping game. Thank for the tip

By far the best skipping video I’ve seen.

I grew up using the open face reels with my pops but would love to start trying to use the Bait casters perfect video my brother😄

Excellent video, been uncomfortable skipping. Planning on picking up the rod and giving it some patience. Thanks Brian!

I saw this video and finally learn how to skip. Best lesson.👍

Awesome video! Congrats on the championship!!!

Glad I found your channel. A lot of useful content. Big fan brother.

Best skipping video I have seen to date from anyone way to break it down.

I try to do this skipping under my boat in the yard an my deck on the house. I’m good sometimes but I’m bad other times. But I love to practice. Great video B Lat!!

Thanks B this was very helpful......

Awesome Vid again, I was always told to keep my arm close to my body and keep that thumb on that reel lol! Thanks again Bro!!! Sharing is caring!!!

Great job as always !

Thanks for the lesson. Very helpful

Your arms were blocking the placement of the first time the lure hits the water. The location of the "first contact point" with the water is very important to achieving a great, long skip. Thanks and CONGRATS!!

Love your videos. Thank you for the help

Thank for the pointer. Live your videos.

Very informative video! Thanks

Awesome video as always. Lots of key elemental details. Thanks for the tip. Figured the bass by now would have been feeding on shad before winter. Still doesn't hurt to check addressed areas. Got a big tourney Saturday in NC. Gotsta have all the info I can get😎

Watched my first video, can assure you it won’t be the last. Informative and in understandable terms. Well done.

Yo!! glad i found your channel. awesome stuff my man!

B, you hit the nail on the head with the weightless senko type worm. Plus its a great bait to throw back there weightless. Great video!!

Great video, Brian. I started with my spinning gear on this, but have haven't made the transition to my baitcasting gear yet.

Top angler and the beard always looks on point!

Thanks,I love bait caster reels...Am on it ..

Great video, thanks for sharing the info!!! Now it’s time to try and hit the water while it’s all still freakin my mind!

Nice tips!! Going to try it out this weekend

Great video buddy. Really enjoyed it.

Thank you, trying to teach myself this, not working out. I'll try some of your pointers.

Great tutorial, I’ll be practicing tonight.

Great informative video B Lat. I wish I could use this tactic but I fish in Canada so our boat docks are attached by criss crossing chains under the water anchored to cinder blocks usually. They do this so ice doesn’t rip out the dock out in the winter. I probably could skip docks but with all the chains I might aswell just throw cash in the lake lol.

Great video. Definitely going to learn how to skip this summer.

Best video on skipping on you tube!

boat position, boat position, boat position. Great stuff my friend.

This is an instant favorite bruh!!

To reduce backlashing or blowing up pull out your line to where you think the end of the cast would be then put electrical tape on the reel spool.

Great Video. Thanks for the tips.

Awesome video man great tips learned a lot🔥🎣

Great pointers. Great video!

Outstanding video man

This is a very well set up video.

Better update this segment to “The Champion’s Details”. 👍🏻🔥👍🏻🐟

Awesome tutorial! Thanks for the great info. You gained a sub!

Great advice 👌 subbed

Great video bud. First time I ever heard not to use a big first but so true. Spinning rod and a stick bait and graduate from there. Still not my forte but I'll get there

Great Video like always man 👍🏼🇺🇸

dang BLat! great tutorial. you made a fan!

That' was very helpful thanks

I'm still very new with a baitcaster. Watching your casting techniques. Much of what you are talking about was way over my head. But I'm going to keep on following your channel until it all makes sense. 👍🏾

Good info brother. Hopefully after your big win the other day you can replace that broken handle. Lol. Glad to see the new guys making it. Congrats and nothing but well wishes your way. Keep the videos coming. I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for you!

Glad I found your channel, new subscriber. Good useful information.

Awesome knowledge

You put out some good videos!!

Why do you use a hand trolling motor on your tin boat ? Btw I’m glad you do some of your vids in a tin boat it shows every one you don’t need a 60-80k rig to catch fish.

Oh shoot I started skipping a jig under docks about a week ago I didnt know it was the hardest I think I'm doing pretty good so far, but this was a helpful vid thanks

Great video..trying to learn about bait casters...changed a lot of line out..backlash!!

Goood info. I just need to adapt to my kayak. Tight lines. Stay safe.
