The flying lure! That's exactly what the bait was all about. Amazing how the banjo minnow also was put out and put out and considered as a gimmick. Both actually caught fish very well under the right conditions. But that is the same with all baits and rigs.

I was lucky enough to be one of the very first people to get my hands on the Hover rig. I put it through its paces over a long weekend when I first got it. I rigged it with several different plastics, but for me, the winner was just a 5" stickbait. Also, I fished it in places and ways it was never designed for - skipping under flooded brush and into thick hydrilla. What happened? Well, I caught so many fish that I lost count. My biggest so far is just north of 7 pounds. Jonny, Matt, Jimi, - you guys all know I'm a Hover rig nut by this point.

Before buying my Bass Boat, I was into Kayak fishing the local rivers for Smallmouth. I wanted to start targeting Largemouth on docks in some of the larger lakes. Which I did. That was the Spring of 2015. The Fall of 2016 Gene Larew and Lew's both came out with a "Dock Shooter" system for Bass fishing docks. Just the thing I was looking for. The Larew set-up used a hook that somewhat resembles your Core Tackle Hover Rig hook. They called theirs the "Pinhead Jig". The lure was a flat Bluegill type of bait that had a keel shape on both sides (Bobby Garland has a Crappie Shooting lure that I believe Gene Larew makes for them). They even came with a Pull Tab with a holographic design to aid in shooting. I haven't been able to locate the Larew stuff for a few years now. Lew's also had a "Dock Shooter" Spinning set-up that came out at the same time. All of which I purchased. Anyway, I bought some of your Core Tackle Hover Rigs and have been shooting docks with them. I've been using the Berkley Creature Hawg's (Thanks Matt) with good success. The 1/8 oz. 3/0 hook works great for this. I haven't seen anyone talk about this technique, so I thought I'd put it out there. Good luck all!

I feel I was amongst the early buyers, only used it twice and it indeed works. For me best results were shallow at bank. Simply because I have yet to learn how to cast it far. I bought core tackle version first, and when I went to local tackle shop they told me that rig was crap and sold me on Japanese hooks and Japanese tiny weights. First fish today on Japanese style I landed fish, the plastic fell off and lost weight....I immediately tried core bait style and fished rest of day with single hook and plastic till got snagged ( I took weed guard off though). Good product...will experiment more because I want it for offshore not on bank. Bc

Hey Johnny I know this has nothing to do with this video but I wanted to thank you because recently you and Randy have changed me completely the way I think about fishing. Randy just did a video talking about how we do to much homework about lures and not enough about bass behavior and then the other day I saw one of your videos and you were talking about how fisherman go out and start fishing without driving around and graphing for hours before you start fishing. Now Johnny a light bulb whent off in my head and I said to myself I've been fishing all these years and years and years the totally wrong. And the past couple of days I've been doing homework on bass behavior and watching your videos on how to read the fish finder better. Hey Johnny you and Randy have changed my whole thought process on how to truly become a superior bass fisherman. God bless you Johnny I really mean that. I just subscribed to your channel God bless. Ps excellent hover rig video I'll be purchasing your jighead johnny I'm almost 60 yrs old that is the best finesse rig I have ever seen.

Fly fishing with an intermediate line is way ahead at presenting a leech, dragonfly nymph or minnow imitation horizontally, like fish see these prey items. An additional benefit of flyfishing is that you can pause the retrieve and the imitation falls very slowly.

Absolutely love the Core Tackle rig! Now that I have used it enough to be completely addicted to them and have now started to experiment with most every plastic I own I am wishing that the rig would be made with more weight options. I have been trying to use it for smaller baits and even the lighter weight is still to large and destroys the bait before I can fish it. I would most definitely be willing to pay more for that rig but have it made with tungsten so the weight would be smaller for those small baits.

Technically, that’s a “jig”, not a “rig”. I was called out by a KZfaqr last month for calling a swing-head jig a swing head rig….because to officially be called a fishing “rig” you need some combination of a snap, swivel, sinker, bobber, or even a second hook added to the end of your line….I know Damiki calls theirs the Damiki Rig, so the differences between a jig and a rig can become a bit cloudy ……but it’s your product, and you can call it anything you want…I wish you much success on it….for suspended bass, it will be highly effective!! 👍🏼
@markg6960 Жыл бұрын
Interesting comment. On a high level, a fishing rig could be thought of as equipment consisting of miscellaneous articles. Even a combination of line, weight, hook and lure would be considered a rig....a Texas rig is commonly accepted nomclature for example. So a swing head could certainly be considered a rig as well, like you stated. A swing head is very analogous to a Texas "Rig". I also agree with you that unlike the original hover rig, which is line, lure, weight and hook in combination, this would be more accurately described as a hover jig. I got mine, BTW and they look great!
