Introducing the hottest bass bait to hit the market in quite some time. Rob, you were asking for a bait to eclipse the Almighty Senko, well hold on this might be it. Coming out of the ICAST Show in Vegas last week, and from the swamps of the Florida Everglades, comes the amazing Hover Lure.
Now, I know what you are thinking, just another lure that will be left in the box and never used. Well forget it, once this lure is tied on it will never be taken off. The Hover Lure uses a bass' natural disdain for dragon flies and turns it into an automatic fish catching assembly. Check out there website at


HA-HA, how's that for SPAM. The guys who went to the ICAST show brought back some info on these lures, and I almost pissed my pants laughing. Apparently there already is an infomercial circulating, so some of you might have already seen it. The website has some videos of bass striking this concoction, probably taped at some Bill Dance private pond. It's pure comedy.

Now, I know there are products developed specifically to pry money from the wallets of novice fishermen, but this has to be the most blatant attempt ever. This P.O.S. makes the Vortex Lures, Helicopter Lure, Flying Lure, and even the Walking Worm, look like marketable products. I personally nominate it for the Barni Bait of the new millenium. Available soon at fine retailers, but there'll be ice-fishing on Lake Mead before you'll see it in my store.

All you have to do is get a two rod stamp. Cast the Hover lure out, and let it sit. Grab your flipping stick and flip the little lily pad. That should get em better then the little dragon fly above the pad

I caught some good fish at Powell when fishing with Dean Rojas. We started using red Splash-its when we saw fish absolutely killing red dragon flys. All we would do is reel them along the surface through the small pieces of brush in the water. What a trip that was. Those fish were coming all the way out of the water and taking the dragon flys out of the air or off the branches. Watch out for that on those desert lakes. It can win a tournament for ya.

I move that this item be added to the awards for big bass days of july. I think we need to incorporate one jackass item for each big bass days contest just to make the rest of us feel better about ourselves... hahaha.

I can only imagine how much fun Kevin and Jeff had playing with that thing at the show. They did talk to the pro-staffers didn't they???

I know dragonflies catch bass, ive used them on several occasions. There is a small pond about 5 minutes away from my house, carbon canyon regional park. I flylined 4 inch live dragonflies, on 8# line. On my best day i caught 4 fish that totaled about 14 lbs. This lure is a joke, almost as comical as the mini crankbaits i am making for bluegills. But for the last hour of light, a real dragon works pretty well, that is if its not sinking below the surface.

BUAHAHAHA Chris!! ... and I bet you they're gonna say that it comes with built in "cover" so you could fish it anytime anywhere..

Glad to see I'm not alone in finding this lure/combo as a worthless piece of marketing crap. I don't know why industry thinks that the tackle buying public is brainless. Maybe we can be, regarding new products that guarantee more bass? Well then we need to appoint a tackle product consumer watchdog. Someone who is not afraid to tell it like it is, someone who is constantly scouring the horizon for new product to laugh at, someone with a lot of free time(which takes me out of the running). Open nominations are now being accepted.

I've run black skirt material sideways(for wings) through a black and blue 4 inch worm, wacky rigged it, and fished it by pitching it over a tule and just popping it on the surface. It's kinda funky looking and only gets used in the heat of the summer, but it does work on rare occasion.
