SPRING BUYER'S GUIDE: STROLLING FOR BASS ( Hover Rig, Mid Strolling, Moping, Damiki Rig )

Fishing finesse plastics on a jighead is taking over bass fishing! Here's what you need to know!! While this technique isn't new, advancements in forward facing sonar have caused a huge resurgence. However, you do not need electronics to fish these presentations effectively. They work equally well on offshore suspended bass as they do along the shore of a pond.

We're exploring the finesse technique known as "hover strolling", along with the power techniques known as "mid strolling" and "bottom strolling". Both are effective and after today, you'll understand how to apply them to your fishing, and which baits you should put the time into. Most of our Buyer's Guides are focused on baits and gear but today's also has an element of teaching in it, because so many anglers are struggling to understand this new (albeit old) fishing method.

Below you'll find links to all the gear the guys discussed in the video. We've separated it by category and included our favorite sizes, colors, and equipment where applicable. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

BUYER'S GUIDE: HOVER STROLLING AND MID STROLLING!

These are two of the fastest growing trends in bass fishing! While neither is new, both are exploding onto the scene and you should take notice! Today we're exploring the finesse technique known as "hover strolling", along with the power technique known as "mid strolling". Both are effective and after today, you'll understand how to apply them to your fishing.

Hover strolling is a finesse presentation that allows small soft plastics to fall with an irregular gliding and spiraling action. You can also work these baits through the water column with a gentle slack line shaking motion. Mid strolling is very similar but employs heavier jigheads and involves more aggressive shaking to draw a reaction strike from cautious fish.

Below you'll find links to all the gear the guys discussed in the video. We've separated it by category and included our favorite sizes, colors, and equipment where applicable. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

The BEST Technique You've NEVER Heard Of!

The Spiral Bait has been working for decades and guys are finally finding out! Maybe you've heard all the hype surrounding the Hover Rig, well you're about to find out that this method (in one form or another) has been winning money in the West for a long time!

With word spreading about the hover rig, the cat is out of the bag on this old Western tournament technique. The key to the spiral bait is the "death spiral." Learning to adjust each bait to get a wide death spiral will allow fish more time to approach the bait before it hits bottom. This technique works and it's finally getting the coverage it deserves.

Below you'll find links to the both the simple rigging method, as well as some of the modern solutions to creating a proper death spiral. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
