Do You Know The Difference Between The Hover Rig And The TUSH?

[@frankhunt5018]

This was a much needed video. I recommend that next video on this you show all the various sizes rigged up next to each other so we can compare the sizes. It's difficult to see the differences when you hold them up one at a time. FYI I emailed D&M a few days ago and learned that TW is no longer going to carry their custom bait signature swimbait. Maybe you can carry that on Core Tackle or convince TW to keep them now that more people know about them and we all now know that it pairs up well with your hooks.

This presentation has me pumped! Appreciate the effort you guys put into this!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad to hear it!

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Great video!!! Very good explanation on the differences between the two rigs!!! Like the TUSH a lot!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@erichildreth7562]

This is a great demonstration of how to use these! I just got my order from Core tackle directly today and I now have all of the sizes that you have! If you can keep doing a few more of these videos that would be great and a suggestion for this would be some of these hiver rigs on a worm or a big 12" ol monster maybe? Great stuff Matt and again thanks for sharing!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad it was helpful!

I bought both of these Core Tackle products back in October, but just now stumbled into a bass pro that actually stocks the crush city free loader or missile spunk shad to pair with it! (Wasn’t gonna pay double on Amazon😀) As you explained, I know this rig isn’t limited to pin tail soft swim baits…but MY GOD, when rigged up perfect, I’ve never seen anything move through H20 so beautifully and naturally in my decades of the sport …p.s. BY GOD, you can cast this thing on a spinning rod well over 100ft from a lawn chair! Can’t wait to rig up the tush on the baitcaster and try that one too! My God, By God this is a Game changer! Amen Core Tackle, Amen.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks so much! They are great baits!

[@chrisboyd1408]

It's definitely a must-see video for clarification. Please do an on the water lesson this spring. Thanks for sharing

[@MattStefanFishing]

I’ve got lots of on the water videos with both

[@terrytresemer2864]

You can't say I wish I thought of that. I see nothing but positive reviews on the network! Looking for the next big Core innovation.

Thanks!

[@danielhinrichsen5923]

Used the tush today first cast a 4.2 bass third cast a 3. Love them.

[@Byoung85]

I am going to order some of the TUSH hooks from your website, makes so much more sense for a swimbait as opposed to the ball head hooks

[@MattStefanFishing]

You’ll love them!

[@sikamoreify]

Been using my Core Tackle Hover Rig on the Basstrix Flash Trix 3" and 4" and it works incredible! The action you get out of it is super unique.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome!

Looking forward to those smaller wire Tush and all the new Core coming out this year!

I love both of these baits. They are fantastic. You have done a brilliant job with them

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks!

[@mattcampbell3876]

Very informative video, how about a video of how you design a new bait from pad and paper all the way to tied on everyone’s rods kinda info, probably get a little boring but I’m always curious of the behind the scenes of making new lures, you need to get a chatter bait with TUSH hook on it patented and in production too! Thanks for taking time out your day for the video

[@MattStefanFishing]

Sounds good!

[@jonathanstewart9838]

I have had a lot of fun (and success) fishing flukes on the hover rig and fishing swimbaits on the TUSH rig. I already a ton of confidence in them and can’t wait to try ozark rig out this spring

[@johnmccreary8063]

Matt what’s your fav bait for the Ozark rig gonna try it this spring??

[@MattStefanFishing]

Berkley Maxscent creature hawg

[@secretbassrigs]

The Hover Rig is more of a vertical presentation due to the 90 Degree Jig hook, and glides better than it shimmy's. The Tush is more of a swimming rig not just because of the heavier weight, but mostly because of the 60 degree line tie meant to be on the nose. And the TUSH does add a decent belly roll shimmy to a bait on the drop. I think one of the best aspects most people overlook is the natural look when using both. YOU DON'T SEE THE LEAD! It retains the natural profile of any bait design, as apposed to having a lead head sticking out the front or under your bait. in highly pressured waters, that is a double plus (+plus +plus).

[@MattStefanFishing]

Agreed!

[@jordanbyates]

I like the finesse 2/0 for the 3.3 keitech. What would you recommend for the 4.3?

[@MattStefanFishing]

standard 4/0 TUSH

[@jordanbyates]

@@MattStefanFishing Awesome! Thanks, Matt!

[@andrewbolton4707]

Any recommendations on rigging these? I usually tie palomar knots I’ve also tried a loop knot with these and Can’t seem to get my swimbaits to swim true while retrieving. The swimbaits always seem to tilt to the side all the way back in. Thanks!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Make sure to rig them centered and slightly towards the bottom of the belly

[@bradcollier6572]

I use and love all of the core tackle products. Are you going to come out with an Ozark rig for 3" baits?

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep!

[@normanwiggins1320]

Good clarification on the differences between the two. Haven't bought the Ozark rig yet but I've had good success on the hoover rig and the tush. I think Mike Iconelli let out the dirt today on a new bait from Berkley Krej it's different. Don't know if that's the bait your hiding though

[@MattStefanFishing]

One of them. The other is called the finisher

[@normanwiggins1320]

I'm sure you'll release the video when it's time

[@FISHWITHAPRO]

Very informative!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dennisederer3594]

Excellent and timely presentation to explain intended uses. Thank you. 1. I struggle to cast a 1/16 1/0 hover rig with a Keitech 2.8. Just not enough mass to get the presentation out even with a spinning rod. Any suggestion for improving casting distance? Otherwise I’ll limit use to Active Target angling. 2. Any chance that either or both rigs will be released in tungsten? Those lead tubes really explode Keitech 2.8 and 3.3 plastics. 3. I have experienced that both presentations get lodged in rocks less frequently. In fact, often I feel the presentation bump into a rock and then it bounce off. Less snags. 4. I really enjoy fishing the rigs. Still pursuing my first catch though. Can you plan a presentation on the Ozark rig in the future? I can’t cast well with the 1/8 oz rig. Just too light. 3/16 is a bit better. Surely would like to use a 1/4 oz lure for 10’-15’ depths. 2024 is going to be a Core Tackle year for me. Thank you again.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing and we are exploring tungsten

[@jakerinaldi4766]

Kind of a business question. How does Core Tackle make the most profit, buying directly from Core or from a third party? I would like you and Johnnie to to get maximum return. Great products and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Thanks Matt how do you feel about the tush head with a A rig specifically the new Tactical Bassn micro A rig

[@MattStefanFishing]

Works great with a rigs

[@steev4952]

I only see the hover rig with fluke like non paddle style baits. But does it work with paddle swimbaits as well?

[@MattStefanFishing]

Use the TUSH with paddle tails baits and hover rig with straight tail IMO

[@TWC6724]

You think you could rig these like a double fluke rig or would it tangle with open hooks?

[@MattStefanFishing]

You can try it

[@johnrayner5599]

Hey Matt. Can you tell us where the term "hover strolling" came from. Or does anyone else out there know? Strolling. Don't get that part.

It’s a Japanese technique

[@everythingoutdoors-vl9bl]

The flat worm and the 6 th sense juggle minnow are probably my top baits …. I’m hoping we get ice in New York I think that hover rig will be awsome for lake trout I usually fish a white tube I think the hover rig head will cross over nicely

[@mistertwister1816]

The biggest difference between the Tush and the hover rig is that the Tush is made with uncoated toxic lead whereas the hover rig is made of uncoated toxic lead. Sorry, I can’t support these products. Non-toxic jig heads custom weighted to your liking and application are readily made with non-toxic tungsten beads and your favorite jig hook. Just position the beads on the hook in the quantity, size & location where you need them. I call it the TNT rig - Tungsten Non Toxic.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Ok
