Buckeye Lures Hover Rig Head 1/16 oz - 3 Pack - Unpainted

Reimagine finesse fishing with the Buckeye Lures Hover Rig Head

The Hover Rig Head combines a compact 1/16 oz profile with a molded on-shank lead, designed to integrate seamlessly with your favorite soft plastics. This head’s unpainted finish invites subtle presentations that won’t overpower your bait’s natural action, making it a versatile option for delicate retrieves and precise placements in challenging conditions.

In practice, the rig supports a hover strolling technique that lets your soft plastics sit and move with minimal interference. A key feature is the wire keeper, engineered to slide through grass, weeds, and light cover without snagging. This enables a horizontal presentation that can entice pressured or suspended fish, helping your bait stay visible and inviting in tough, high-visibility environments.

Designed to keep the action fluid, the Hover Rig Head lets your lure rock and breathe, reducing line twists and maintaining a clean line profile. When used with forward-facing sonar, the setup is well-suited for maintaining control while scanning feeding zones and vertical structures. A sticky-sharp Mustad hook rounds out the package, delivering dependable penetration when a strike presents itself.
