A power fishing version of the standard hover rig that’s perfect for fishing with heavier setups, the Core Tackle Heavy Duty Weedless Hover Rig gives anglers the same natural gliding action with the added ability to target and catch bigger fish in thicker cover. Offering a beefy single-cable weed guard to keep you snag free, the Heavy-Duty Hover Rig has a 90-degree line tie for vertical presentations with a deadly hover and natural gliding action that made the original version such a huge success.
Soft plastics are designed to be fully rigged over the exposed lead, making the Heavy Duty Hover Rig a more natural appearance with an even weight distribution to produce a lifelike gliding action on the fall. Armed with a 2X flipping hook built to stick and pin down fish through thick layers of grass and vegetation, the Core Tackle The Heavy Duty Hover Rig furnishes a powerful tool that anglers can use to target multiple species of fish in a variety of freshwater and saltwater environments. Proudly made in the USA!

How to rig the Hover Rig:
Insert the hook point a ¼” behind the head of the worm. Thread the worm up the hook shank until the worm hits the weed guard/hook eye. At this point, pull the head of the worm forward and push the point of the jig head down into the head of the plastic bait. This locks the plastic bait in place. Make sure the bait is rigged straight on the hook shank to achieve maximum gliding motion.
Baits to use with the Hover Rig:
All plastic baits will work with the Hover Rig. We have found that baits with a flat bottom and straight tail allow maximum gliding motion. Baits with flapper appendages tend to prevent gliding motion and don’t work as well. Some of our favorite baits to use on the Hover Rig are:
- Berkley Maxscent 4.25” Flatworm
- Reaction Innovations Beaver
- Zoom Super Fluke
- Deps Bull Flat
- Yamamoto Senko.
