Hey everyone,

New here but i have been readin up a lot before i started asking some questions... I just started bass fishing, been more of a "lazy fisherman" mostly. Well i caught my first bass about a month ago on a senko and got the itch big time!

So my question is this: I have had luck skipping a senko or an ika under the docks here on my local lake. I have been looking into getting a good spinning set up and was looking at the BPS carbonlite rod, the more i read into what power to get the more i get confused. For skipping into cover should i get the 6'6" MH fast? I am wanting to pair this up with a pflueger supreme XT. Any input you guy's have for me would be awesome. Thanks!

I love my Carbonlite but I don't use for skipping. It's a 6'8 M-XF Spinning

Here is the link about skipping and rod size, Seem to range from 6' to 7' and MH is your average power choice.

By the way welcome to the site!!

Also it seems 20# to 30# braid is the way to go with a Flouro leader.

The power of the rod you choose needs to match the bait weight or the rod won't load and you need velocity on the bait for it to skip. Those baits you mentioned work well on a Med/Fast rod. Cover isn't usually super heavy in an area where you would skip-cast a bait to so you should be ok from that angle as well with a Med power rod.
