Congratulations man keep up the good work
I think this segment was filmed with a potato.
Badass video and great tips!!
I find it amazing that skipping a jig is possible. I have to stop my spool with my thumb before it hits the water, otherwise I get a birds nest. Intentionally hitting the water (several times) and not getting overspool is lost on me. How do you stop that?
I did this 40 years ago why I caught so many now all yall pro given all the secrets away
The camera work and the distortion of images made me feel like I was on drugs..... thanks
Greg I have been trying to learn how to skip jigs, but all I am learning is how to take out back-lashes. Would you please give us some tip on your style you do so well.

watch how to skip by fish the moment
I normally use the baby rage craw on my casting jigs. What trailers do you use on skipping jigs and swimming jigs?
love the way he popped that jig out of the bass mouth lol
I enjoyed your video. Thanks.
How do you have your spool tension set. How about the casting brakes? Are you using your thumb? I didn't hear any "how to" skip.

***** Tension: I've found that the spool tension isn't the biggest factor. Just don't make the tension so tight that the bait can't fall freely when you hold your rod tip up. I prefer loose tension because it skips further. Brakes: It's easier to start off with brakes on max or close to max, then lower as you get better. Thumb: Always thumb the spool. I've found it helpful to slowly raise my rod after my bait touches the water. It helps keep the bait on the surface. Also, keeping the rod low and parallel to the surface makes it much easier to skip, but this can change as you get better.

best way I've found is ajist your brakes were your bait can free fall into the water with out the line spolling off the reel like crazy you just want it loose enuff were it will hit water and barely fall
I love the guys of Tactical Bassin!
Can u skip a 1/2oz jig ?
my son always cutting up about you he say daddy throw it in there if you loose it just buy another one what hack attack says lmao
Whatever Russian bot gave those dislikes is insane. This dude is a legend!
Great knowledge, Hack attack knows
Are u in Kentucky lake u said ?
I use to use a kid rod was only say 2 feet long an pull it back an shoot it under there like a sling shot cause jigger poles started being illeagle in tournments
Just say you love the KVD rod
Medium heavy or a medium action rod?
I like how the other video he said he never misses a jig bite, thus. proven wrong.

Try flippin the skirt over, this should keep you from tearing the bottom of skirt off.
What is up with all the new fishers wearing flip flops, sandals and being barefoot on the boats
I don't mean to criticize but it would have been nice to see him skip it..... not just see the jaw-jacking and talking about it. He spoke about seeing wakes and the bass following... again there was no actionable instruction.
Every time I try to skip a jig or worm, I bird nest big time!

I don't care who you are, you ain't skipping in choppy water.
I had to search eBay ...and listen to him... couldn't watch it..
He wasn’t big as I thought...as Hack yanked him 5 feet out of the water!
he got hung in a tree an was going to get it i said you better break it off an buy another one there was a wasp next big as basketball hanging on a limb
I cant stand the way he treats these bass. Its just practice, you dont need to jack the fish 20 feet with the hook set...

Added to the fact that you have to set the crap out of the hook on jigs to drive it through the weed guard. especially on his model

tyler stiff - sometimes you have to set the hook hard - however I completely agree with you on this. Start watching the video at 2:10 when he thinks he has a big bass and proceeds to rip a bass out of the water and through a tree. And then he does that stupid hook popping shit to get the jig out. Two things that are just not cool for a lake that I could possibly be fishing in. I'm not a wiener - but a lot of people could have a little more respect for acceptable ways to catch/handle fish. If that was a female fish getting ready to spawn, I guarantee there is *no way* it would actually spawn out its eggs that year.

I love it when people say stuff like this, you cast a jig or worm out and let it fall then get that thunk thunk and see your line swimming off sideways you see how EASY you set the hook on a fish. as far as pulling the fish out of the water i honestly don't think that hurts them what does is taking a 5 pound bass and lipping it and jacking it to side opening its mouth up or boat flipping one letting it slam the side of the boat or dropping a fish from up high. BUT if you were fishing for as much money as these guys are you would do whatever to get that hawg in the boat ASAP. I try to reel set on a jig because you don't create that hole in the side of there mouth then the weight of a heavy jig throws it out there mouth. all you really need to do is reel down fast and sweep BUT I enjoy crossing there eyes and so does every body else out there IF there honest.
How's about you teach how to skip? Just saying.
