As the title mentions, looking for advice on nice rods for skipping. I have a Zillion HLC with the magic Ian tune for skipping.

Looking to pair it up with a nice stick to do quick roll casts to skip magdrafts, jigs and craws under docks and overhanging trees and shrubs. Typical range is 1/4 oz to 1/2 oz.

My skipping technique is average at best and looking to spend time improving it this year. I have been skipping with a P3 Bearing Down and an NRX 853C. Looking to see if there are more preferred options out there. Thanks!

Don't ask me. I'm not good at skipping, also stubborn enough to seek elsewhere. Which sometimes works well, other times not so much. But whatever. LOVE your reel though.

@one-love You have the same issue as me. It’s not you, it’s the rod’s fault 😉

Wow, gorgeous reel!  I'd like to help you, however I'm no more a "Skipper" than was Gilligan...

Beautiful reel, sir and welcome to the family. 

I love my B70H for skipping, but usually utilizing baits on the heavier side of its ratings. Diablo Slant Bridge is also a fun rod for such duties, as is the the Fenwick Super Techna S-TAV610CMHP + J TZ (has a great tip section for this). I’m sure I’ll think of others…
