Great footage. I don't care for how the hook points downward most of the time. I believe this is caused by letting it drop on a fully slack line. Matt always talks about letting it down on a semi-slack line. If you look at your footage, there are times when you do this and the hook stays pointing upwards. I also think the large plastic bait overpowers the Hover Rig a little, especially with all the grooves in it. They cause lots of air pockets which also make it unbalanced. I probably would choose other plastics for the Hover Rig but if I did use the Bellows Gill, I'd have to have lots & lots of patience to fish it correctly. Thank you for the work to get this info!
James, I agree with your observation about the hook and about the larger bait. I also agree that tight lining the fall would probably prevent that. I really appreciate your comments.
That looks like a great way to rig that Bellows Gill Mark. I love that it doesn't have the same fall and glides all over the place. I have never tried this bait, but it looks like I need to give it a try. Thanks for the underwater footage. I like to see what baits look like under water. I have used the Core Tackle TUSH rig on different swimbaits. That might be an idea for a future video. Thanks Mark.
