ZOLO Skipper Casting Rod

Skipping jigs under docks demands precise rod loading and the strength to pull fish away from cover. The ZOLO Skipper is designed specifically for anglers who rely on skipping presentations to reach bass hiding in tight places.

Description

Dock skipping requires a rod that loads smoothly with compact underhand casts while maintaining the power needed once a fish commits. The Skipper’s upper section bends easily to propel jigs and smaller moving baits across the water’s surface, allowing them to slide deep beneath docks and overhangs. Its strong midsection delivers the authority needed to drive hooks cleanly and guide fish out of cover before they bury themselves in structure. The shorter length and compact handle also improve control when fishing in close quarters.

Zolo skipper rod

Very nice at 6' 9" for getting under anything. Tip is excellent and has plenty of backbone to get the job done.

New Skipper

Very fast shipping and well packaged. Will be using rod for chatter baits. I think it will be a great rod for my use. This is my second ALX rod and will not be the last. Thanks Alex .

Never been happier with a rod

This rod skips like a dream and has landed me some nice fish. It's really light and it has some backbone. Where I fish it's weedy under the docks and this rod had no issues getting them out. Only thing I wish is that they sold them in Canada.

Awesome

Fished this rod for couple of months now. I am a three rod kayak kind of guy so versatility is a key. Bought it for (1) swim jigs, (2) spinnerbaits, (3) heavy cover finesse(ish) jigs. Does it all really well but absolutely shines with (3). Biggest haul so far was a 20-30 lb snapping turtle that inhaled riot minima jig in the middle of submerged tree pile up. My fourth but not last alx rod. Maestro is probably next.
