Doug's Custom Lures Hover Jig Head is a game-changer for finesse and vertical presentations, designed to create lifelike action that triggers strikes even in pressured or inactive fish. Its lightweight design and carefully shaped head make it perfect for “hover strolling” or presenting soft plastics with a subtle, gliding motion in the water column. Featuring a super-sharp hook and a keeper system to hold your bait securely, this jig head pairs flawlessly with a variety of soft plastics.

This jig head is ideal for anglers looking to refine their finesse techniques or experiment with hover-strolling to coax lethargic fish into biting. Whether you're fishing clear water, pressured lakes, or targeting finicky bass, Doug's Hover Jig Head is your ticket to success.

How to Rig It:

1. Select a soft plastic bait such as a small swimbait, worm, or creature bait.
2. Thread the bait onto the hook by inserting the point into the nose and running it through the center until it reaches the hook bend.
3. Secure the bait against the jig head’s keeper to ensure it stays in place.

Recommended Baits:

• Small Swimbaits: Mimic baitfish for a realistic swimming motion.
• Finesse Worms: Ideal for subtle action that hovers naturally.
• Creature Baits: Perfect for imitating small forage like crawfish or insects.
• Flukes: Deliver darting, erratic movements to mimic fleeing prey.

How to Fish It:

• Hover Strolling: Cast and allow the bait to pendulum in the water column, creating a subtle hover effect that draws strikes from suspended fish.
• Slow Drag: Glide the jig head along the bottom to imitate a crawling baitfish or crawfish.
• Vertical Jigging: Ideal for targeting fish directly below you, especially effective with forward-facing sonar to spot individual fish.
• Steady Retrieve: Use a slow and consistent motion to keep the bait moving naturally, perfect for targeting suspended bass or open-water predators.
