Again, as always, I don't know EVERYTHING, but I know a heck of a lot more than most people, so when I say something, it's probably at least close to correct. Can you skip a spinnerbait? Well, yeah of course, with a swimbait as the trailer. Can you catch big ones on a weightless lure with light line on a spinning rod? Of course. I am just talking about what I THINK is the best dock lure, which is the jig. There ya go

Tyler, I just wanted to say thanks. You probably have the most informative bass fishing channel on KZread. As a boy from the mountains of Idaho, I didn’t get a lot of bass fishing in my blood early on. now living in Oregon, I’m trying to learn how to bass. I appreciate everything you’re teaching folks and wanted to say thanks.

Tyler, could you please do a comparison of skipping jigs with a curado DC vs a standard baitcaster. This type comparison has not been done and it has never been addressed on you tube. Due to two totally different braking systems, people are confused about the ability of a DC reel to skip as good as a traditional baitcaster brake system.

Got an idea for you, Mr. Skipper... Lews makes a fly rod that you can demonstrate the skills of casting n presentation. Maybe a frog fly or streamer.

Tyler, your thoughts on braded line for skipping into docks and other cover?

@TylersReelFishing

3 жыл бұрын

I find that braided line is easier to skip, but especially around wood, it gets stuck more (literally digs in). And a lot of the bodies of water that I fish are too clear for braided line to be the most effective. Some people claims it’s easier to skip, and I agree with them in some ways. It does also get worse back lashes though

Lol Lizard! NOOOOOO!!! Hahahaha love it!

Are you putting a lot of velocity into your roll casts or do you not put as much energy into them?

In your video, you recommended to have your magnetic brakes cranked up to max or near max. Any tips for dual braking setups?

@TylersReelFishing

I have never really learned how to deal with internal centrifugal braking, so I just leave 2 on and 4 off usually lol. I can imagine that centrifugal would kick in faster than magnetic though, so give both a try

Bass do not use shade to keep cool or because they have no eyelids they use shade for concealment for ambushing prey and concealment from predators . Most objects that create shade aside from furnishing ambush points also attract minnows and bluegills due to algae or other food for small fish .
