Dock skipping requires a rod that loads smoothly with compact underhand casts while maintaining the power needed once a fish commits. The Skippers upper section bends easily to propel jigs and smaller moving baits across the waters surface, allowing them to slide deep beneath docks and overhangs. Its strong midsection delivers the authority needed to drive hooks cleanly and guide fish out of cover before they bury themselves in structure. The shorter length and compact handle also improve control when fishing in close quarters.
