Surprised no one had fits to share for this. Astero is one of the most versatile scouts in Wormhole space. If flown correctly, even as hero tackle this ship has some staying power. With a mass of 975 tonnes its the ideal ship to put through a wormhole that is at critical mass when scouting. Being a frigate it is not hindered by small ship connections that would prevent cruisers from passing through.
Wormhole Hunter/Tackle
My personal favourite fit to gank explorers/industrials and secure tackle:

Tackle Mods
In W-Space theres a good chance whatever you're trying to tackle is warp core stabbed. Using a faction scram with 3 points helps secure most targets with the additional 2 from the regular scram.
Sensor Booster
There is a very minor increase in scan resolution with the overheated Sebo but I can attest to many a time when it made the difference between holding onto a target or letting it slip. After tackle is obtained the ECCM script can provide some defense against being cheesed by a flight of Hornet EC-300s.
Dual Rep Astero
There is also the super tanky dual rep fit that some like to fly. Explorers use a variation of this fit that foregoes one tackle mod for a Relic Analyzer. Hunters use this fit to win the long fight. The problem I have with this is that they tend to forego the DDA which gives the edge on Drone vs Drone fights. Once defanged, just have to wait for the Astero to run out of booster charges and eventually cap.
