This has been one of the hottest smallmouth techniques in the past two years but is starting to catch fire with the Largemouth bass anglers as well!

My Profile:
http://www.mattstefanfishing.com/
I was born and raised in Chicago, but after working 12 years in the financial Industry regulating the futures and options markets at the CME/CBOT I decided to pursue my passion fishing professional tournaments and left my full time corporate job. At that point, I moved to Junction City, WI with my wife Sara and two boys Hank and Duke. I’ve been fishing professionally since 2011 and full-time since 2015. I’ve qualified for seven MLF Championships and won over a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.
I had take a second glance at the jigs I thought why didn't I think of this 🤔
Hey Matt,kustomkicker jigs make a power ned head that is skirted like a jig.look it up!!
I’ve been killing the largies in Texas on micro jigs and naked chatterbaits too
you need to turn your microphone UP
What rig for 3/8 and 1/2 oz jigs. What line?
This technique isn't just great for bass, the walleyes like it too!
Shout out to Greg B ned jig has been hitting out here in Cali
Learned this from Greg Blanchard. We use the small keitech with zman Ned worm to catch big largemouth in NorCal.
These East Tennessee guys have been throwing a used and ripped Senko on the back of a Ball head Eakins Jig for years . Especially on Norris Lake . Those Smallmouth up there gorge on Tennessee Sculpin . I think this bait presents a next to perfect profile
Been using that technique for quite some time now and it's really good for largemouth. But I seen to get more bites on a big TRD instead of a regular stick bait.
If you're in Ross Barnett, I did this last year for my pitching stick and it spikes reaction in the pads
been doing it on an arky head and half a stick bait. for about four or more here in Florida. Even in open water, just go lighter.
Not a fishing comment, but a hope you know him comment. Are you a relative of Matthew Stefan, US Navy veteran?
I’ve been using stick baits as trailers for bladed jigs.
I’ve always used Crawfish trailers on my Jigs. I’m DEFINITELY going to try a stick worm on my Jigs. Thanks for the tip.🔥👍🔥
Been using this little secret with keitechs for about 5 years for big smallies and largemouth. I got two buddies that do it. Other than that no one else knew about it
Definitely not new. So, I started fishing a cut down senko on a jig about 15 years ago. It works great for largemouth in rivers or where the bait is small.
I've been using a stick bait on the back of many types of jigs for a few years now. With a skirt, skirtless, wacky rigged (stupid rig) , etc. To me, it's almost like a more heavy duty version of a shaky head and I fish it almost like I'm using a shaky head. I can't tell you how many fish I've caught doing it. Seems like it's something I'm always going back to.
Another solid presentation with the Ned! Thanks Matt. How buoyant is the general compared to zman?
I love when you give up good secrets and tips, just not mine…. table has turned 😅
