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.
Try it on the Geecrack bellows gill. I haven’t tried it fishing yet, but it looks like a good presentation of an injured baitfish when I twitch it slightly off the bottom of a fish tank. Little tip, you might want to add a dab of superglue to help it stay in place.
Ordered some of these off of your core tackle site, hopefully I will have these this week and lookin forward to trying these!! Thanks Matt for sharing these tips with us!
Clip off a 1/4 inch of a Slugo put that head straight on the end like a regular jig head the side to side drift is amazing works with all fluke styles I know that’s not what it’s designed for but what the heck
Thanks, Matt!! Will try these!! Have a great week!!
What an incredible presentation with the fat ikea. I'll definitely be giving that a try
Back in the seventies we would take a couple spinnerbait skirts rigged on a piece of trotline with a couple treble hooks. The trot line would be about six inches long and tied to the end of a bamboo pole. At dusk one guy would quietly pole push the flat bottom boat around weed bed edges while the guy wuth the pole would wiggle and splash that bait. Very heart racing way to catch big night time bass.
I have a feeling you guys are waiting for us to load up our terminal tackle boxes with all of these new hooks in lead, then y’all will drop everything in tungsten and we will buy it all again.
I need to buy some I was crushing them on the tush here in Michigan you guys have some awesome and interesting tackle
Super glad I found this channel. I’ve spent some money, but it really has made me a better fisherman. I was told I wasn’t allowed on my buddy’s boat anymore
Good info and I did receive my core wacky hooks but have not used them yet. Definitely using them for senkos and I want to put them closer to the tail end of raid japan buggy craws and the battle hog. I think the smallies are going to love them here in the Wisconsin river provided Matt and Hank let some of the smallies swim down river to Wisconsin Rapids
Great video as usual
Pretty convinced a bass will eat just about anything that it believes will fit in their mouth…the ultimate predator, so it's no surprise a dice with rubber strands and a ball with rubber strands catch bass
next up…a triangle with rubber strands
Dude… you didn’t believe me with the Imo Kemushi!! Them & the ripper are strait hog snatchers!!! I won’t hit water without em
Great tips!
Dear Matt I jumped on the wacky hook as soon I seen your video and saying that the hook ratio will go up, But it is the opposite the hook ratio went down really down. Switch back to my regular hook and my ratio went to
percent .. UP…
Hey Matt want to share a worm with every one Lake Fork Hyper stick .Caught bass split shot first one this morn 5 pound .After got him in boat said I want to share ..Give it a try.
Thanks Matt I don't have them yet.
To answer the question. Yes. I was forutnate enough to pick up some OSP Dice on the cheap via crazy awesome ex rate while visiting japan. On a drop shot it's silly. I have no idea what the fish think it is but they love it. I drag / lightly pop the drop shot. Easy peasy. In a pond it's mega silly. Immediate bites
Great video Matt
This is the best channel for bass fishing whenever it comes to helping newbies or oldies getting back into it. Thanks Matt. I have a question though. Do you fish top water or shallow for number and go deep for the big females like it use to be 20plus years ago?
Do you use a EWG or a off set worm hook Texas rigging a plastic lizard? Thanks
I’m definitely going to make my own bait bomb with a few strands of skirt material in some of my used MaxScent Generals

Core Tackle has really designed a ton of new presentations that the fish haven’t seen plus some sneaky actions that I love to use,and with success 



Thanks Matt, and Core Tackle…
That Qbomb works, I watched my buddy catch a bunch, I didn’t think it would work but I was wrong
I order 10 of your swim jig
s. Can't wait to fish them. I like what you did with them…
For the bait bomb, place a chatterbait blade from Queen’s Tackle and you’ve got yourself a finesse chatterbait.
I retraced this statement after seeing that the eye of the hook on TW. If the eye was turned the other way then YES a blade would've been a perfect fit.
Great tips Matt. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Różnorodność perspektyw wzbogaca, malując żywy gobelin pomysłów i doświadczeń.
When you put the core tackle swim jig on TW. What trailers do you recommend for the 2/0 hook? And great video btw!!
The level of mutual respect and support among us is truly heartening, demonstrating the power of sisterhood and solidarity.
