In the early 80's we used Rapala Ice Jigs while Spooning in the winter time....The Spiral effect,, In the summertime, we used Reepers with a #1 Mustad Jig hook...,,Drywall screw as the weight....Socal Fishing!.
This is like the spine rig you did a while back, ill have to re watch that video now. Haven't tried this but I think it would work on my Nova Scotia smallies pretty good
no one explains it as thoroughly as he does, plus he talks loud, enunciates perfectly.....very easy for me to understand him ( I am hearing impaired).....
I appreciate this content, very educational. Really liked the way and how you explained this. You got me hooked on trying this technique and you got another subscriber. I am ready to learn. Glad RUclips suggested your video.
We have been fishing like this for a few years down here in South Texas not the hover strolling with a soft minnow but letting a lot of line out behind the boat with toobs ,dropshot, jigs and TX rig . Works great when the bite is slow . My buds call it dragging are long lining . It’s not my favorite way to fish but it does work and well sometimes . I personally changed the name from dragging and call it Hobo rigging because every time my buds do it they sit down in the seat have there pole in one hand sitting on there shoulder pointing behind them and a beer in the other hand . Just stirring around bumming a ride sipping on cold beer and catching fish aka hoboing and my motto is if you can’t beat them join them lol Thanks for the info can’t wait to try it
Dude, you're so psyched!!! I love it... You get me psyched, and I'm a salmon steelhead fisherman...lol. but you very your ass I'm going to rig some of my plastics with your tips for them. Nice job. Love your enthusiasm.
Do you still use this technique? Having a hard time finding the hooks, and VMC number doesn't match their new numbers? Heavy duty wire or lite wire? Thanks,
Killer rigging tip vid. I’m definitely going to give this a shot. Think I’ll do the Berkeley max scent so they won’t drop it quick give me a better shot at catching them. Thanks for the tips!
I can’t wait to try this and I’ll let you know how I do. Thanks Ike ! I’m heading out Monday and Tuesday with the right hooks and lures to give this a shot.
You said the bait spirals on the fall. Can you add a small swivel up the line to prevent line twist? I am going to try this method for suspended fish and around a bridge in a lake I fish.
Awesome video it isn’t super easy always too catch bass when it is hot but you sure know where too find them my favourite summer bait is a black Texas rigged senko and pumpkin seed tubes!
Great info. Thanks. Could not find the VMC hooks recommended with the model number you gave. Can you please post in the notes? Closest I could come to was VMC model # 7247.
How is my FAVORITE FISHERMAN doing? I'm in the process of moving from Chicago to Orlando area. While I was packing I found your book. Reading it again. Thanks for teaching me so much about fishing, once again. Never give it . Thanks buddy!
Light line stuff in general is the best for pressure! #2 cultiva twistlock finess with a 3 inch keitech shad impact in the weeds will drag any shady character out of their hole
Hey Mike I love the technique but I live in Maryland and we have alot of grass and foliage and snaggs in our waters. What type of weedless hooks can I use with this lure?
I tried this with a 3.5 inch craw bait this morning fishing 4 to 6 foot of flats. I also threw it on humps in deeper water. I got bit on the fall or as soon as it hit the bottom. This thing gets aggressive bites.
OMG...that's awesome...love it! Will have to try this coming summer. My lake is so pressured, you almost can't get them to bite. I guess this one might do the trick. I have two question though: When you cast it out and just hold it with occasional twitches, doesn't the bait just slowly sink below the level of the fish? Second question what size nail weight would you use when the fish are in 30feet of water? Again thanks for this rigging tip.
The hook rigging is true to the original hover strolling but the weight and action is not correct. Hover strolling originally is meant to shake and roll the lure in place in the water column. Right around 5 to 10 meters away from you. Hence the hover part. Real hover strolling doesn’t rely on the fall but more the hovering in place aspect of the lure appealing to highly pressured predator fish.
Humm ! I'm a BIG FAN of you Ike, but I can't find any difference between this "hover strolling" and the "spine rig" you did 4 years ago... Maybe you are a little bit older ;p Is there a "difference" ?
I learned a new technique and a new word!!! “Atomically correct”
Could almost say this is the bomb.
It’s nuclear B! 💣🧨
Almost as good as “loud and ambidextrous” lmao!!!!
LOL .. nice catch Brian .. too funny!
I like you videos best. I can’t stand the way he screams when he catches a fish. You would think that he would, someday, grow up

The flat nose minnow is really awesome because the nose isn’t thin. It accepts a hook well and even a weight.
Thanks for sharing!! Love watching your energy explode!!!😊🎣🎣🎣
Nice! Coretackle just came out with an all on 1 weighted hook for this technique. And they're excellent. Thanks for sharing mike
I got some of those two, I bought a bag of each of the two sizes
Thanks Mike sharing this technique from Japan.
This is like the spine rig you did a while back, ill have to re watch that video now. Haven't tried this but I think it would work on my Nova Scotia smallies pretty good
Have used those hooks for years with small minnows fishing for crappies! Great tip adding the nail weight. Thx!
Gotta love riggin tips by Ike.. I’m always adding his tips and techniques to my arsenal
no one explains it as thoroughly as he does, plus he talks loud, enunciates perfectly.....very easy for me to understand him ( I am hearing impaired).....
Thanks for all the info could you bank fish that presentation

Heard of this technique but haven’t seen a breakdown like this, thanks Mike!

I'm a little late but loved the video content. I will have to try this. Thanks Mike!
On spinning reel techniques, do you always reel set on the hook up?
Great info. Thanks.
Could not find the VMC hooks recommended with the model number you gave. Can you please post in the notes?
Closest I could come to was VMC model # 7247.
Interesting technique I will put it to the test on my fishing trip in the morning
You are truly a brilliant fisherman.
Son of a gun, this is brilliant. I’ve caught 95% of my smallmouths in BFL on flat nose minnow. It has really good action nose hooked drop shotting.
How is my FAVORITE FISHERMAN doing? I'm in the process of moving from Chicago to Orlando area. While I was packing I found your book. Reading it again. Thanks for teaching me so much about fishing, once again. Never give it . Thanks buddy!
This technique is awesome.... Thanks for sharing!!
Mike you need to talk to Brian the carpenter about measurements LOL
Very thought provoking, thank you
Can't find any vmc hooks like this.
Pure Gold Ike! Hold onto your butts with this 1
Great tip Ike!!! Love your in the shop video!
Trying it on big brown trout clothes of bass patterns work on huge browns
With the gliding around, is there a problem with line twist?
Very similar to a really popular flat water fly pattern called the balance leech that a lot of fly fishermen use in lakes.
I'm ready to give this technique a shot on Palantine!
Always dig a new way to fish
Love that technique👌
This is a great technique. I snap these in the fall.
I have a feeling this will do great in lake Lanier
Damiki rig?
Help ... Did I miss the brand and size of the hook used?
Im definitely gonna give this one a shot!
I always love your new ideas I am all about the stupid tube 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lol he said right IN THE FACE . I love your videos
Hey Mike Iaconelli do you remember the autographed Toyota hat that you gave me
I'm leaving alot and been a fan of Mike since 2005 but these videos are reminding me of QVC or those laste night selling shows lmao
Awesome, thank you Mike, the Master
Light line stuff in general is the best for pressure! #2 cultiva twistlock finess with a 3 inch keitech shad impact in the weeds will drag any shady character out of their hole
How many tournament folks are snagging bass with lives scope.
Great video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Hey Mike I love the technique but I live in Maryland and we have alot of grass and foliage and snaggs in our waters. What type of weedless hooks can I use with this lure?
Decoy Worm 153FF Hover Shot Hook. Not at a 90 angle but 60 and is weedless.
I tried this with a 3.5 inch craw bait this morning fishing 4 to 6 foot of flats. I also threw it on humps in deeper water. I got bit on the fall or as soon as it hit the bottom. This thing gets aggressive bites.
Im glad I picked up 5 packs of maxscent flatnose when I saw them at bass pro, they are sold out now lol
Gonna try this. Being a Jersey guy, all the spots get HAMMERED here at all the local haunts. The skunk is real lol.
Look at this! Man we need a close up. Put a picture of it or get to closer to the camera with it for a second
Ike come fishing here at Texoma I'd love to fish with you!
Keep dreaming simp
@@cheezuscrust7730 if you need a hug just ask 🤷♂️
@@chanceprice5376 I think you want a hug from Mike or even more
Ike, meet me at Raystown lake in Pennsylvania and let's try this technique. 👍😎
Mike learns a new word.
What about listing the hook.
Gulp minnows are a hidden gem. Those sons of guns work big time... No one uses them. But they absolutely catch fish.
Thanks
Cant find those hooks anywhere
very nice!!! ill try it for sure :D
can not find those VMC hooks
This catches Walleye too!
Why are you not fishing MLF?
Ben Millikin has already done this! Hover Juggle.
Ike need more bank tips.
OMG...that's awesome...love it! Will have to try this coming summer. My lake is so pressured, you almost can't get them to bite. I guess this one might do the trick. I have two question though: When you cast it out and just hold it with occasional twitches, doesn't the bait just slowly sink below the level of the fish? Second question what size nail weight would you use when the fish are in 30feet of water? Again thanks for this rigging tip.
For some reason the hook keeps sliding out after a few casts.
I would think a horizontal tail is to make it seem more like an injured minnow
Is there a way to do this rig weedless?

Mike, this method looks like a tube rig.
Look Like a Killer Rig to Me !
It really is!!
Sham wow
This tip has been around for almost 2 years now lol not a secret anymore lol 😅
Basically a fresh water Terroreyz from D.O.A
VMC does not have these hooks. Great Vid though.
similar to Tube fishing
Boop... Just the tip.. Boop.. YOUR NOT GONNA BELIEVE IT.... BOOP
Nice
Didn’t Jeff Gustafson win a BASS event on FT Loudon using this technique he in Canada they call it mopping
Get a cleaning lady over there dude! Lol
This is a big thing in Japan
There are 2 specialty jig head’s available for this technique.
Just sayin.
Quit yelling at me!
Great video but stop yelling at me! I’m sorry for whatever I did to make you mad lol
aNatomically ...... Root word "ANATOMY". I got hung up on that word then missed the rest.
27 min to tell a 3 min story. Can't believe he doesn't have an infomercial.
Enjoy your tips but man these videos could be so much shorter. Start to lose me after a while.. Thanks for the info though!
This guy sounds like he's talking to 4 year olds.
Whales and dolphins have horizontal tails... I wanna catch a bass that eats whales!
Mike, please remove this video! I do not want any of my club members to see this!! LOL
If you want to sell me something, quit yelling at me. Lower your voice.
I’m not hard of hearing.
Ive tried amd tried this technique andnhavnt had any luck .even when im seeingnothere people use itnon schooling fish incouldnt buy a bite.
