Covert Rig

Our Covert Rig is purpose-built and handcrafted for continuous-retrieve soft plastics like our Cross Minnow and Phat Swimmers. Every Covert Rig is individually assembled by hand and hand inspected before packaging to make sure the hook, weight placement, and overall finish meet our quality standards.

Built around a premium, stout VMC 60° hook, the Covert Rig is designed to handle hard-fighting bass while creating the horizontal presentation this rig was made for. The 60° hook-eye geometry helps your soft plastic track naturally through the water while allowing increased side-to-side body roll during the retrieve.

Instead of concentrating the weight at the nose like a traditional jig head, the Covert Rig uses an internally weighted design that places the weight inside the body of the soft plastic. This keeps the bait running more level through the water column and creates a slower, more natural gliding fall rather than immediately forcing the bait nose-down.

Redistributing the weight through the body also allows the soft plastic to move more freely, increasing body roll and creating a subtle, lifelike swimming action that excels around pressured bass and in clear-water situations.

Handcrafted. Hand inspected. Built for a horizontal presentation. The Covert Rig gives our Cross Minnow, Phat Swimmers, and other soft-plastic minnow and swimbait profiles the balance, action, and control needed for a natural swimming presentation.
