What are your favorite lures to skip and most productive targets to shoot at?

[Jon G]

Jig

Fluke

And a Bladed Jig with an arkie style head

Tube, big ones.  4" Prowler Big Butts, weightless, on docks.

Tubes under docks, overhanging willows, blowdowns.  Occasionally, a 1/4 oz jig and pig, but I have to use spinning....never have been able to skip with casting gear.

Frogs skip well. Anything with a flat bottom will be easy to skip gnerally.

Jig, senko

Then that would include my first wife ...

Soft jerkbaits: Don't know why but they skip really well for me, even on casting gear.

For ease of skipping, nothing compares to a tube, IMO, even when rigged with an internal jig head. BPS tender tubes have a small profile and the BK Tube is a big fish producer. I like to lengthen the skirt by an inch or so with my scissors. Awesome action and it doesn't take anything away from its ability to skip easily.

As for targets, I like hanging tree limbs that almost touch the water, especially an isolated one on an otherwise treeless shore. Docks are great too, but get a lot of pressure. You can easily skip a tube well back under a dock, more so than a jig.

Thanks Joe, what weight jig head for the tubes when skipping?

Heck I just side-arm a chandelier with a couple of treble hooks on it !

It depends on the depth of the water, but normally that'll be 4ft. or so and I'll go with 1/8oz. unless it's windy then I'll go up to 3/16oz. You can likely get away with something lighter on spinning gear.

Probably 6" hudds. The don't skip as good for me I think cause the tail is way bigger and all floppy. They all skip pretty darn good though even the 8" and might surprise some peole and fish.

I meant to say the 68's don't skip as good
