Hey All, 

 

I seem to be skipping weightless plastics a lot.   I prefer to do this with a baitcaster as I have more power to pull them out of where I skip (docks, laydowns, bushes etc.).   I am looking for a rod with enough tip to help skip then a nice transition to some backbone.  I know Daiwa makes a skipping rod, but it seems made more for jigs etc.   Andy Montgomery describes it as 20% tip and 80% backbone.   I already have a rod I skip heavier weights with.   I am currently using a 6'9" medium power, but would like a 7' - 7'2".   Would like a MH if it has enough tip to it, otherwise a medium with maybe a little more power.   

 

Please let let me know if you have an idea.   I would like to keep this around $150 or so if possible.  

 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks bait finesse, I will certainly look into those rods.  I am 6'3" so I may be able to try the 7'2" rod.  The 6'9" I am using is too short for my comfort.  It is hard to know what a rod is like without holding them and feeling that bend.  I don't have a place around there that carries many bass rods.
