Yamatanuki: the perfect beginner skipping bait

[Turtle Angler]

I’m not a confident skipper. A senko on a spinning rod? Sure, I’ll try to skip that under a dock. A jig on a baitcaster? Absolutely not.

 

I’ve taken it upon myself to get better at skippingwith a baitcaster because I know I’m missing fishing that I should be able to fish. Obviously I don’t want to be throwing jigs at docks and under boats and cause property damage, but I also wanted something bulkier than a worm. Cue the Yamamoto Yamatanuki.
 

It’s perfect for skipping (or attempting to skip) under docks and doesn’t cause any damage when I inevitably hit something. And it catches a lot of fish!

I'll try 'em, this is about how well most of my skips go...

No doubt! 

 

I LOVE poop baits.

 

If you think the Yamatanuki skips, you should see the Cover Scat! 

 

The small 2.5" weighs 1/4oz and the new 3" nearly 1/2 oz!

Try a Neko Macho. It’s got weight, the tail has good action, and can be Texas rigged or Neko rigged.
