One of the fastest ways to become a better shallow water bass fisherman is through mastery of casting mechanics. Jacob Wheeler gave Wired2Fish an excellent flipping and pitching tutorial in this video (https://youtu.be/8EjJTWgY7I4) and expands that lesson with 2 additional techniques: 1) the roll cast, and 2) pitch skip.

The purpose of both is to get baits into tight areas in and around cover — think docks, flooded bushes, laydowns or any overhanging cover. Wheeler goes into detail on how to execute each with emphasis on the pitch skip, which allows you to skip baits in tight quarters deeper than any other technique. Whereas the roll cast uses wrist rotation, the pitch skip requires whole-body momentum and follow through to pull off.
Equipment is very important. Wheeler recommends rods in the 7-foot range and under when you’re just getting started. He details how to calibrate your casting reel magnetic brake and tension dial for reduced backlashing, a key step when getting started.
Bottom line, both techniques excel at getting baits into exact spots in heavy cover with the pitch skip being best for hard-to-reach spots you couldn’t otherwise reach. Couple this with a new style of lure (https://youtu.be/gz9cvKvg5kM) and you’re showing bass something they haven’t seen which ultimately leads to a few more bites.

hi thanks for the video! wondering what glasses is this
Very helpful thank you.
Is it really better than bow casting a sipping reel though?
Great video! I'll have to try that out.
great video! can you do a video on how to cast the RAPALA RIPSTOP far with the casting rod ?
It feels heavy duty and light weight. The rotating is so smooth. Like it better than other one I have.
can skipping be done with a spinning reel???
Yo what rod are you using? I need those colors 😍
@ 1:13 what cast?
wow some amazing shots from shoreside. love it!
@5:00…and THIS is why I love my kayak!
I want to cast like you! Great video!
Time on the water and anyone can do it!
Man, that slow motion swimbait skipping across the water made me want to eat it. Great video, great explanation of the two casts.
Amazing skill
Skip casting is easily my most valued technique. It certainly does take time and practice to get it down, but once you do, man does it look cool. It also is a fish slayer
Very good tehnic pitching and skipping master
useful info
Nice skill👍👍👍
a very perfect technique to put bait under dry twigs is amazing 👍
Such a great explanation 👍👍 Thank so much 🙏
Wauuuuu
This was an absolutely perfect video, a great combination of having someone teach a technique and plenty of shots showing it in action. This is exactly the kind of video I’m looking for on any subject I search for.
Wheeler is a beast love to see him beat em up in the Bassmaster guys tho
Soo many talk..
👎
The camera work on this video is amazing! Great information, amazing technique, fantastic edit and some great B-roll scenes. The clips that start at 0:24 are perfect. I had to watch the whole video twice to be able to focus on what Jacob was teaching. Haha. Wheeler can cast, Good Lord!
The pitch skip is a thing of beauty,thank you!
How do you set your reel up not to backlash?
Very nice bro😁👍
I can backlash toilet paper.
Does it make a difference if you use braid or mono /(fluoro)?
And . . . Can you skip a crankbait?
Waw 🤝💪💪💪👍
Awesome Dude
A nice lesson!!!
greetings from Indonesia
Those moves… Hands… Omg
Tried this…..now sitting in hospital with hooks buried in my hand….pissed off about the rats nest in my bait-caster
Yeahh..i need to practice more and more😁👊💯…nice tutorial bro!
Nice spot my friends , please support me , i am newbie
Ok I knew I wasn’t the only person doing this on docks and lay downs…. Time on the Water makes you develop new ways to fish…. don’t skip on high pressure days when wish are finicky you will spook em
Hello
can you tell me which model of fishing rod do you use?
Thank you for your reply
Uhhhhh….. Ding!
I training with you,,, 😁😁,,👍🔔😊
I wonder what power rod he uses to skip?
👍👏👏👏😘😘🇹🇭
The ONE difference between an awesome bass fishermen and a pro—the ability to cast incredibly, repeatably well.
Which Length and rod power do you recommend to begin in pitching ? I know that it depends on the brand or model , but in general , is a 7’-3’’ heavy rod – XF action , could be a good choice for grass / algae cover ? thanks
