The hover rig is an amazing fish catching tool! I'm constantly finding new ways to use it! It's way more versatile than you might think! I recently just did another video on some of the different ways I'm using the hover rig.

Hey Matt I just bought some from tw and the way this bait glides through the water colom like a dying bait fish. I went to a dock in Missouri where I usually don't get bit right away. And my first cast I got a chunky small mouth. And because the bait doesn't land in the same place every time and it glides the bass won't get conditioned to the hover rigs. Thanks for the great jigheads. And God bless you and your family.

The thing about core tackle hover rig is a oKay, but I prefer the traditional way, the you don’t have 1/64oz or 1/16oz weight, I like my bait hover a bit longer like suspended while the bait stroll across the water hence the name “hover stroll” not sinking down as you move the bait, this rig sink too fast for my taste so for that it’s not going to be for me, I’ll just stick to the traditional rigging method

Every single person probably knows this but just in case, When mosquitoes and gnats are making it impossible to fish, take a couple of new dryer sheets. Wipe them all over your exposed skin. Face, neck, arms, legs, paying special attention to the ankles. Then grab two new dryer sheets and wipe them on your forehead vigorously. Then fold the sheets you wiped your face and forehead down and fit them into the inner sweat band of a ball cap of your choice. As long as its the BRAVES ! I even put a couple in my socks! Believe me when I say this. Mosquitoes absolutely make my outdoor life MISERABLE! Hard to keep a bait wet while scratching your ankles with a 2 prong electrical cord 😊.
