My Profile:
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.

You can count me among those that didn’t know this. I bank fish and struggle with getting hung up on grass, lay downs, rocks, etc. I’ll pay attention to my jigs. Thanks Matt.

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@johnrayner5599]

I really appreciaten your insight on the different line tie angles, it makes so much sence the way you explained this!!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad to help

[@OldMysticFantasist]

I seem to be a snag King, so I appreciate every bit of this kind of analysis & explanation.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching

[@borisdoore1041]

Very helpful Matt, will definitely be more aware of the line tie orientation,thanks for sharing 🎣🙂

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@davelerner8461]

Matt, that was a very thorough and "makes sense" explanation on the line tie angles, really appreciate it!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching

[@jonbullard7074]

Thanks Matt! Very informative!

[@MattStefanFishing]

My pleasure!

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

🍺Thanks Matt. I suspect that information will be useful to many🤠.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I hope so

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Great video Matt!! I think this was the first video I saw that explained the difference on the line ties on a jig. Great lesson learned and much appreciated!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!! 🤠👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@itllkeal]

Nice one. Thanks

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Good stuff as always

[@MattStefanFishing]

Much appreciated

[@cliffordhutt143]

Another issue I'm interesting in hearing your opinion is the orientation of the line tie, i.e., vertical or horizontal. A lot of bass jigs have the line tie twisted 90 degrees. I've always heard the vertical line ties are better for fishing through grass and other vertical cover, while the horizontal ones may be better in other situations. What are your thoughts?

[@MattStefanFishing]

Good suggestion

[@oldschoolfishing4194]

Great topic. Thanks.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad you liked it!

[@stevesmith7164]

Good information Matt 👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks! 👍

[@mikeeller557]

Thanks Matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@DirtbikeXpeditions]

For me, there are two types of jigs, those that I’ve snagged and broken off and those that I will…

[@MattStefanFishing]

Haha

[@user-ro5rl5et5i]

yup. 99° here. I use alot of different jigheads for all those techniques. some go thru grass better, some get hung up less in rocky cover... lots of variables for sure.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Right on

[@erniebrightfishing]

Wjats your thoughts on the strike king structure jig with the cobra style head and a zero degree line tie. Dontou think that truly helps with hooking up when you get a bite because the bite gap is so big.

[@MattStefanFishing]

It’s a good jig but I honestly thing gap is overrated

[@erniebrightfishing]

@@MattStefanFishing thanks Matt. Sorry for the typos. I almost had a seizure reading what I wrote. 😂

[@bryandavismoviefan]

I've steered away from the 90 degree swimbait jigs in the water column over the past few years. I've had better success with 60 degree jigs and making bottom contact but I only fish smallmouth.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I’m moving the same direction

[@bryandavismoviefan]

@@MattStefanFishing I think it triggers that reaction strike more often that you talk about a lot with smallmouth. The hit always comes when the jig hits a rock.

[@johnwagers2013]

90 degree is gonna be the most stable and gives the least amount of body roll.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Body roll is a critical factor in generating a reaction strike

[@freddyj5845]

I am watching your vids in 100 degree weather at military training 🤣

[@us_patriot_31b]

Pathetic, I’m sure your rifle needs cleaned. Might want to check the star chamber. This is what’s wrong with our military now days. If they don’t get their phone they cry. Can’t wait until they hit a combat zone, can’t pull out your phone and call mom or your girlfriend back home fuckin Jody.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Sounds brutal

[@wolverinex4243]

Some for mopping, some for hovers, some for swim, some for depth drifting, etc. Swimbaits are not 90 degrees. This is what separates elites from Taticool Bassin.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching

[@williamknight5142]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching

[@kevindunn3883]

Disappointed at title. Should be "90% of Anglers Misuse Their Jig Heads! I Have the Angle!"

[@MattStefanFishing]

That’s a good title!
