The FFS Hover Hook allows anglers to set up a hover rig without needing a nail weight. A hover rig is a very lightly weighted soft plastic using a 90 degree hook that has a very subtle gliding and twitching action. A highly finesse presentation originally developed in Japan to give lures a hovering appearance in clear water or on ultra pressured lakes.

A stout swimbait hook designed for horsing big fish out of nasty cover, the Gambler EZ Screwlock Swimbait Hook features a heavy gauge wire that is comparable in size to your average flipping hook. Incorporating a small belly weight on the shank of the hook, the placement of the weight allows your swimbait to flutter vertically to the bottom when you stop your retrieve to entice violent reaction bites.

The hover shot is an innovative new finesse technique quickly gaining popularity in Japan. Considered to be a deadly technique for targeting suspended fish, the Ryugi Hover Shot Hook resembles a panicked baitfish when paired with light line, a finesse swimbait or fluke, and a ‘strolling’ retrieve on slack line. When the fish are highly pressured, sometimes even a lightly weighted jig head can fall too quickly and force you to fish too fast.
