The reds love the red!
The upgrade really works! Strong hook, solid bait keeper.
Locks your bait on. Comes through the rocks.
A belly-weight keeper holds ElaZtech and TPE plastics without glue. The 60° line tie and keel keep it upright and bouncing off structure instead of snagging. Six weights from 1/8 to 1 oz, fresh or salt.

What's on it
Six details built to fix what goes wrong with a jig head.
- 1
60° line tie
Keeps the jig sitting upright, casts cleaner, and slides through weeds and rocks better than a 90° tie.
- 2
3D eye, double coated
A large 3D eye, clear-coated twice so it lasts longer than typical stick-on eyes.
- 3
Stabilization keel
Bounces off rocks and bottom, gives paddle tails a slight roll, and keeps straight tails running true.
- 4
Bucktail flange
Holds its shape on the retrieve.
- 5
Belly-weight bait keeper
Locks ElaZtech, TPE and plastisol on without glue. Live and frozen bait work too.
- 6
Mustad 2X black nickel hook
Double the strength of standard jig hooks, sized up with the weight from 2/0 to 7/0.
Pick your weight
Match the weight to the water.
Heavier heads get down faster and hold bottom in current. The hook size goes up with the weight.

Amazing looking hook
Amazing looking hook. Looking forward to using them.
Make it a full rig
Stock up and skip the guesswork.
Pair it with the plastics it was built for, or grab a kit with the weights already picked out.
Caught on the Hover Hook
Real anglers. Real fish.
Bass off the bank, reds on the flats, crappie on the screen. Tag @ebbnflowoutdoors with your catch and you might end up here.
Where it fishes
Fresh or salt. Same box.
Saltwater, freshwater, Alabama rigs, live or frozen bait, even forward-facing sonar. It's built to cover all of it.
Redfish · trout · snook
Inshore and tidal
Light heads on the flats and grass edges, heavier ones when the current rips. Black nickel hardware handles the salt.
Bass · striper
Lakes and rivers
Swimbaits, jerkshads and straight tails worked over structure. The keel keeps them running true and off the rocks.
Big fish · deep water
Deep water and A-rigs
3/4 and 1 oz heads with 5/0 and 7/0 hooks get down to 40 ft and run well on Alabama rigs.
Before you buy
Questions anglers ask us.
Can I use it in saltwater and freshwater?
Yes. The black nickel hook and hardware are built for both.
Why does it cost more than cheap jig heads?
Every head is poured and finished in Mt. Pleasant, SC, with imported Mustad 2X hooks that resist bending better than 1X or light-wire hooks.
Are the eyes stick-on?
They're 3D eyes, clear-coated and adhered. They last longer than most competitors' eyes, but they aren't permanent.
What does the 60° line tie do?
It helps the jig sit more vertically, improves casting and swimming presentations, and comes through weeds and rocks better than a 90° tie.
What does the keel do?
It helps the jig bounce off rocks and bottom, lets paddle-tail baits roll slightly, and keeps straight-tail plastics running true.
Can I use live or frozen bait?
Yes, both work.
Does it work on Alabama rigs and with forward-facing sonar?
Yes to both. We've had success on A-rigs and have seen it on sonar down to 100 ft with the right settings.
What rod and reel should I use?
A light-action rod with a 2000-series reel for small fish and shallow water. Medium to medium-heavy with a 3000-series or larger for deeper or heavier fishing.
Stop losing jigs. Start landing fish.
Six weights, five colors, one head that does the job fresh or salt. From $3.00 a head.
