- Is the Core Tackle Hover rig a legit fish catcher or junk being pushed from RUclipsrs? Have Matt Stefan & Johnny Schultz created a game changer or a gimmick?

Yeah! I kinda like it too!
No nepotism here 🤔
It works with lots of baits but I really like it with any bait that has a flat bottom. Really gives a nice glide a spiraling fall
I am not a bass angler and don't know if this works, but this jig head is at least 5 years old. You can watch youtube videos from UK with people explaining how to rig it. These guys just renamed it and introduced it as their discovery. I never heard them say anything about where they got the idea.
I've been stuffing tube jig heads in other plastics for years.
That tournament was the first time I had heard of you and went to your channel right after and subscribed. Been watching ever since, any man that Sobi and Steph " The Great " say are good I believe it
right on, much appreciated, actually got to hang with those two in Tulsa last weekend for a bit, maybe we will get to together on the water to make some cool content this spring
I think that Tim from Tactical Bassin summarized this hook rig best: it is a “spiral bait” hook. I have had my most success just letting it fall. It glides and spirals like nothing else when you have the right bait on it. And I also catch fish just popping it off the bottom back to the boat. If you actually want to mid-stroll the bait the traditional Japanese way of rigging with a hook and nail weight is the way to go.
Good stuff Rich. It’s a sneaky little rig.
You got that right!
Great rig. Fish it from the bank when I can’t get bit on an 1/8-1/16th oz ball head swim jig. It can be fished in all water columns and then when using it with zman plastic on 6lb line can almost get it to suspend
great tips
Really looking forward to giving this rig a good shot this season. Possibly even more intrigued by their Ozark rig as an alternative to Texas rigging!
The Baby Z too is crazy good on this bait !! 👍
noted, how trick is it to rig being elaztech?
@@HellaBass not bad at all I think it’s easier actually.
Awesome video footage Rich! I bought some over the winter as well and can’t wait to use them this season! How deep were you fishing and it looked like you were popping it off the bottom, can you describe your presentation that day? Thanks!
I think their new swim jig looks pretty interesting as well. Might try some of these this summer myself.
I grabbed a few at the Classic, sounds like Omnia will have them in the future
Picked some up over the winter , haven't had a chance to try them yet . I never would have thought to rig a worm on it , great tip !
Hope you enjoy
Rich try it with a Zman Trick ShotZ….. shallow around docks/laydowns/rocks….. Boom 👍🏻👍🏻
I feel the original hover rig with a hover hook and the nail weight even works better(the Japanese way). It has much more random darting action than the core tackle hover jig. In other words you will get more trigger bites.
I got on them early. I think I may have bought some from the first run. Def NOT a gimmick. I slayed with it in FLA. Had it rigged on the bigger sized Maxscent flatworm. Caught ones that wouldn't look at my wacky rig
yeah, I need to use it more this year
@HellaBass same! I kind of forgot about it bc I only used it a few times. But it was VERY effective. I also need use it with different baits. One I was thinking is a baby brush hog
@@BobbyBalsaRNM interesting thought
It's interesting I bought it thinking it was a mid-strolling type bait and tried it with some shad imitators and the basstrix flash trix, and didn't really like it. For that application I much prefer a regular ball head jig.
I will have to try it as a neko type bait. I've heard Matt Stefan say he fishes it as somewhat of a tube replacement. Seems like maybe it works better letting it fall all the way to the bottom.
Yeah, I have used it more as a neko alternative rig
Absolutely love the core tackle hover rig. I use it on many baits but the Sakata shad is really good on it.
Ben over there at hook up tackle was talking about this rig last month it’s hot over there in Japan
Got me some to try! Does look like the juice.
I regret not rigging them up for a tournament the week before this where we got 2nd, feel like this could have got me another bite to seal the deal
Thanks for the review and demo to show it works - definitely will add it this year. Wait it’s not a jig, square bill or spinner bait- ban it from tournaments 😅
Hahahaha
Grabbed some at the classic, looking forward to giving them a try!
Definitely doesn't work lakes around home 🤪
😆
Big Tennessee smallies love the Core Tackle Hover Rig! :D
What's your favorite plastic for those smallies?
Had some for a while that I actually won from you in a box a while back. Just went out yesterday to a local lake and was seeing fish everywhere on scope. Picked it up with Christie's ff minnow on it and caught 8 crappie and a 3.5-4# bass in the next 15 minutes. It will be in my arsenal this year!
BOOM!
I've used the hover rig and caught tons of fish on them!
Did it work for you in these Minnesota weeds? I had a terrible time with picking up junk on the front nose area ahead of the knot!
Mark these fish catches were on a weedlines in late June on Prior Lake. Definitely a bait better suited for edges than right in the thick stuff
Interesting rigging. Reminds me of a nail weighted neko. I haven’t picked any up but after seeing there’s more than one way to fish the hover. I will 👍
Look forward to what you come up with!
Thanks for the on the water footage! and rigging. Off to Omnia Fishing site to see if there’s any left!
I guess that's a perk of being a member, hasn't been released to the masses lol
Thanks for saving me some 💰 on these!
@@davidrauschenbach6871 right on!
Love all the Core Tackle products, legit fish catching terminal tackle!!
I grabbed a few of the New swim jigs to try this spring
I came out to see that weight-in!
Right on!
Jonny and Mat could sell a cat turd and I would try it. I try a lot of their stuff and can't always make it happen but I figure it is me. I am you tubing way too much but I did just subscribe here. Thanks
Hahaha much appreciated, I've done well on hover rig and caught a few on their swim jig
Excellent net job too!! Ok. I grabbed some. We’ll see lol.
can't wait for you to report back!
I bought these very early on, like, the day after they came out. I can promise you this thing is WORTH ALL THE HYPE. This thing was my go-to when the fish were finicky. It really gets bit and you can use essentially any soft plastic with it. Side note: there is a CORRECT way to rig it to get the CORRECT fall. And THAT is the real juice.
Does that mean, I did not rig mine the "Correct" way?
You did. But once you rig it, you need to let it fall on slack line in the water to see the fall. I talked with Stefan to double check this. The deal with the fall is that you want the bait to spiral. I've gotten bites where it doesn't, but if you rig it and situate it where it spirals on the fall you'll be very happy with the results. Thanks for the video dude! Love your content! ❤️
@@HeavenlySnipez I am pretty sure when I caught those bass in video, it was a slack fall, appreciate all the comments
The hover rig ROCKS!! I’ve had them since last summer.
The hover rig is good, they have been riding the wave of success tho and releasing a ton of other lures that I’m not convinced on
I've dabbled with TUSH, but have not tried the Ozark rig
Keitech Shad impact is money on Docks love the core tackle products Tush is great too❤❤
What baits do you like on the TUSH?
@@HellaBass 2/0 i use 3.3 kiethech fat 4/0 4,8 7’/0 used basstrix or scottsboro swimbaits
Try rigging the flipping model it’s a PiTA I keep blowing my beaver style baits out with it.
You talking about the Ozark rig??? I haven't tried those yet
@@HellaBass the hover rig HD model with a stronger hook for baitcasters
@@timevans6815 ah haven't messed with that
They work!
Use a mail weight and 90 degree hook. Done.
I prefer Male Nail weights :)
Definitely NOT a gimmick! I bought some a little over a year ago and caught my PB largie on one the first time out. 👍✊
Right on, how big?
@@HellaBass 5lbs 5oz, but I'd only been bass fishing for about 6 months at the time.
@@Pudge4400 that's a tank!
Been doing this for years with a modified darter head for close to 40 years
What style plastics do you like for your modified darter head?
@@HellaBass Roboworm sculpin
@@HellaBass hand poured worms or Roboworm sculpin
One of your best videos, thanks
Next week I will show how to use with FFS 🤪
@@HellaBass cant wait lol I'd recommend cut cable unscrew unit and toss in lake hahA
When is the next live stream
@@aarons6931 yesterday :(
I’ve had em since release they look weird on the fall to me but im not a fish… how did you work it after it hit the bottom?
I usually fish it similar to a jig. Pop it up and let it spiral back down. Matt Stefan and Johnny Schultz both have some great videos on all the different retrieves they use with it.
@@Pudge4400 its one of those things i know is good but i gotta find it for me
I feel like I fish it a bit like a Neko rig, let it fall, small lifts, let it sit
@@HellaBass yep, there are a lot of various ways to fish it, and most of them seem to work pretty well for me, except maybe just a straight retrieve like a paddle tail. I fish it similar to a hard jerkbait too, occasionally, when they seem to be keyed in more on fleeing baits. Kind of a "pop...pop, pop..." and then let it spiral.
@@HellaBass one other thing that has been lights out for me during the spawn is rigging it on a bubble gum flatnose minnow and fishing it like a soft jerkbait.
KVD Caffeine Shad!
I like it!
The irony of a RUclipsr calling a professional bass fisherman a RUclipsr.
Well Johhny Sxhultz is a RUclipsr???
I hope y'all think it's a gimmick....thats perfect
It’s great at destroying the heads of my swim baits
Do you use this or the TUSH for swimbaits?
@@HellaBass not the Tush. The regular Core Tackle hover rig. Just seems like it ruins baits when rigging.
Can we see how it's rigged without ripping up the plastic
did I rip up my worm when I rigged it?
I'm going to say this the Core tackle quote and quote "HOVER RIG" jig is not a Hover Rig, it's more of a Mid Strolling Rig, that thing doesn't even hover at all, it sink down so fast. Sound like you never fish the true "Hover Rig" yet. Do you even know the definition of the word "HOVER" 🤣😂
It sounds like you don’t know how to fish a hover rig. There isn’t a bait on the market that “hovers” without working the bait. That said, I’ve replaced using the Ryugi hover hook and nail weight with this because I didn’t like how the weight would hit the hook and poke out or bulge the bait in odd directions when used in thinner baits. It glides off randomly with most baits I’ve tried, exactly how it should. Flicking the tip of the rod keeps it popping and gliding its way back, which has been amazing for schooling fish chasing bait.
@@skidemn WTF?! you're just copying me .... 😂
I'm good with your definitions but thats what they call it lol
@@leepao6302 I wasn’t saying Rich didn’t know how to fish a hover rig. I was saying you seem to have unrealistic expectations if you expect it to hover. Even the most neutrally buoyant or floating soft plastic bait will still sink out fairly quickly if you don’t work it, but even then it will do exactly what the rig is designed to do, glide and hunt as it falls.
That said, almost every bait I’ve tried will have a hunting action when using properly tip action, even something heavily salted, like a Senko. The great thing about this rig is you can use whatever you want on it for your particular situation. I love it over the top of brush with flat baits as they tend to glide much longer distances and get bit well. You can also use little minnow type baits like a Basstrix and drop it into holes in grass cover, and it will have a tighter fall like a tube, but more random. In any case, Rich didn’t name it and the rig does what it is supposed to do, and well.
@@skidemn Im having unrealistic expectations? so you never heard of suspended jerk bait ... they're literally hovering/suspending ... hahaha ... of course i know he didn't name it, all i'm saying the rig not hovering it sink so fast ... hahaha 😂 so if i'm being unrealistic; then you probably being stupid to believe it's hovering when it actually sinking 😂
Damn it , hoped it was a gimmick!! Now I’ve gotta buy some
I am sorry, but if you snatch some on it, you probably won't be pissed lol
@@HellaBass lol I’m never pissed when I buy new gear that works !!
