What is your favorite jigs combos to skip? This includes weight and trailer options. I'm just getting into skipping dock (late in the season I know) and I find it fascinating

I’ve actually been skipping weightless stick baits this season more often with great success. It’s worth trying if you haven’t tried it.

I really like the Sieberts Dredge Dock Rocker in 3/8 oz. with a Rage Bug, Pit Boss, Beaver, or craw depending on season or what the bass want that day.  The Dredge series has a hook bend that really helps Hold your plastic on and a flat head that skips very well.  The color options, wire tie, and price are fantastic.  I have heard Mike, the owner, is a great guy too.  Like to support the smaller company that are good people to boot.

Totally agree... I think the fast sink and instant action of a jig can be great at times... but a lot of times I think we just blow by fish too fast... or klank the lead head off a hard metal object and spook the fish.
 

A well-placed, slow falling, enticing weightless plastic that stays in the strike zone longer I think gets both the fast reactors as well as the neutral bystanders that can’t let a potential meal go by..

 

If the OP is new to skipping docks and finds it harder to skip a weightless Senko, try a Neko Rig. You can insert a little weight in one end (but it’s buried in plastic so no klanking) and you can jiggle it in the strike zone a long time.

For an all around jig the 3/8 Siebert improved arky. I like the Netbait Paca Craw but skips easier with something like a Rage Bug or Rage Menace in my opinion. For skipping and swimming around overhangs I'll often use that same jig rigged with a paddletail swimbait.

for skipping docks, I've found I actually prefer the swinging-head football style jigheads.  I find without the skirt I can get the bait further back underneath the dock.  I usually use a RI Beaver and either a 1/4 or 3/8 oz head

The BOSS Finesse Flip in ⁷/¹⁶ skips like a river pebble to me.  It's got a flattened bottom and an upward planed and flat nose to the hook eye that just really gets me distance on a skip.
