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 roughly a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.

[@hookedonbassncats]

I feel like before your videos, I was bass knowledge poor and now from your videos, I'm bass knowledge rich lol. Really appreciate your honesty and willing to share info.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Happy to help!

[@donpanico8514]

Hey Matt, I’ve tried running silicone strands through senkos and different styles of Ned rig baits and it doesn’t seem to increase the bites. But you are probably right that it might attract larger fish. This might be a bait that will catch more fisherman than fish.

[@MattStefanFishing]

i kinda think so

[@colinveith3721]

Good god man! Try wacky riggin' a pine cone or something! Lol There's enough out there to give THAT thing a hard pass! Lol Thanks for showing us, Matt!

[@MattStefanFishing]

HAHAHA

[@paulbuchan4486]

😂

[@tablerockkid8237]

My dad used to say one could put a hook and a line tie on a short pencil and, sooner or later would catch a bass on it if you fished it long enough. I put a lot of these style baits in that same category.

[@MattStefanFishing]

i tend to agree with that

[@tylergensmer8376]

Glad I saw that bushy thing. I was plastics shopping and was going to buy some. They are bigger than I thought! I bought some Boss Grubs and Stunna's though. Great Video!

[@MattStefanFishing]

[@juleswinnfield826]

Hmmm...... use it as the follow up bait if one swipes and misses the toenail crankbait...lol. On second thought, wall that thing it'll make good swag. The Poland cricket looks to be better quality plastic. Thanks for the vid.

[@MattStefanFishing]

the toenail crankbait crushes!

[@lannyseals2084]

I'm pretty sure that bait was designed on Mars lol it seems like at first glance you say to yourself I have to try it! Lol I'm not sure if that would work in my waters or not but I believe I will give it a shot, thanks for sharing Matt!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

good luck!

[@emilianobanzi9432]

Geecrack makes really good soft baits IMO. I'm using a lot of JP baits and the Imoripper 95 (the same of the Imokamushi without skirt) rigged with a 5/0 hook with a split ring is an excellent bait to fish weightless. You need to twitch and pause that thing and let it fall, it falls horizontally and has a sharp darting action when twitched. I use shad colors with a moderate to fast retrieve and red or pumpkin near rocky spots with a slow one for crawdad eaters. The Cover scat by Deps is the same concept, two of the most underrated soft jerking baits

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for sharing!

[@alcav54]

You should try the Deps Cover Scat. It’s another strange one but it really works

[@MattStefanFishing]

ill check it out

[@brandonreynolds2213]

I really like the texture and green pumpkin u can never go wrong with for color. You could even fish it weightless while Texas rigged,but jam or shove lil pea split shots in em in various places. Hell even make em rattle too

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for sharing

[@mattolivo]

YES ITS WORTH THE TIME... I cut some of the skirt off sometimes, thats a good bait you may of just needed to trim it a little, I wil cut all the skirt off the top half and leave the bottom half, sometimes Ill trim the skirt length as well.. Try it

[@MattStefanFishing]

good information thanks for sharing!

[@garrettmccurdy5097]

Hey Matt just started watching cuz Randy Blaukut mentioned you. Think your content is great! Was wondering if you could do some videos on spotted bass. Really in depth stuff if you got it. Not many talk about it on KZbin. Thanks and fish on!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Great suggestion!

[@jddarby007]

I never would have thought a Deps Cover Scat would work but they do..... I started to buy those this past Saturday, now I wished I would have given those a try

[@MattStefanFishing]

interesting

[@mnieliw]

Scat is a killer plastic. 👍🏼

[@josephstahl5998]

For the ned rig go with the 40 or 60 size floating model, in the last probably 6 hours of fishing with i caught 6 smallies all over 4lb including two 4lb 10oz fish But ive also caught good numbers of fish to, try it weightless on a 3/0 wide gap around structure or shorten it up on the ned

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing

[@B.A.Bassangler]

Agreed, looks pretty heavy and a large profile. Maybe do a double blind study of the Gee-Crack vs your Polish bait with some skirt material added. I think I'd like the Gee better if it was smaller and more bug-like.

[@MattStefanFishing]

i think im going to trim it down a little and give it a few more tries

[@qaze0338]

We’ve been using the Imu and tested it with the ika in its cast abilities ? The Imu cast way farther and it’s much more arrow dynamic and doesn’t catch to much wind . Caught plenty of fish and it’s a perfect for shore/night fishermen and the scent ? Smells like Fritos .🙂

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for sharing

[@roberts.2413]

Because I fun fish I personally prefer baits that draw a larger size fish over baits that tend to target numbers. I definitely will plan on trying it next year. Thanks for your review.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Well said!

[@soonerfan1675]

I’ve not tried either of those baits but the tail reminds me of one of my top go to baits, the GYB Shad Shaped Worm. The straight pin tail looks like no action but in the water on a dropshot or shakeyhead the little tail never stops dancing around. I never tried it on a Ned rig but I’m sure it would rock.

[@MattStefanFishing]

probably

[@oldschoolfishing4194]

I don't know if you will get this comment. I recently tried the Imo Kemushi for the first time. I used the 60mm size rigged Texas style with a small nail weight in the center. I had great success. The fish attacked this little thing. I caught over 20 bass on it. I found this video by doing a search on KZbin for Imo Kemushi. I think it will be killer in the spring.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing

[@maxcole3930]

Definitely interesting bait. I remember u running tensle through your worm. I haven't seen them yet. I think it's worth putting in more time sense you have already started spending some time with it. I personally wouldn't buy it at moment just because I feel like I could modify existing beds I already have to be similar. Interested to see what everyone else that has fished it says.

[@MattStefanFishing]

i do run tinsel and skirt material through baits but this tis a little overboard IMO

[@ryanbuckley3314]

Great topic! The way that I like to think about these baits is similar to the way I think about a swimjig setup. Stay with me here. Have you ever trimmed a skirt down, so that little bits stick out, and breakup the profile? I think that is why this works. It is imperfect, just like the profile of natural prey. Nature is messy. Does that make sense, everyone? Please tell me if I'm thinking about this the wrong way. Thanks for the videos.

[@MattStefanFishing]

i cant argue with you

[@yevhenmakarevych3811]

Hi Matt. Nice video, thank you. A little correction, FISHUP is a Ukrainian company, not Polish. You can find the information on the package.

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for the correction! I should have looked closer.

[@ballzybaits4414]

Instead of using a large swimbait for a kicker, use that! lol. We've done this with Ned but only a few strands

[@MattStefanFishing]

yep

[@joshwhite8055]

Sweet video Sir !!! I was wondering if you had a link to the Fish Up bait that you use for purchasing

[@MattStefanFishing]

i do not just google it and it should come up

[@Badfish_bassin]

IT'S A KILLER Matt... don't give up on it yet. It shines as a weedless bait, Texas rigged weightless it skips phenomenally. Because it has good weight to it already it casts well, skips well, and has a decent sink rate. I use it primarily to hit under low branches and laydowns. Also, Geecrack makes the imo ripper which is almost the same but w/o the skirt strands, and the yam stick longer, lil thiner, less weight (fishes like a fluke) also a killer weightless. FYI... love your channel content.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome feedback! thanks for sharing! ill have to give it a few more tries!

[@garybowers9605]

Close, I've used a plastic worm (6") with jig skirt material through the first two inches of the worm head for spawning bass. This was back in the 70's!

[@MattStefanFishing]

interesting

HA...just like music, politics, and movies...no new ideas. Thanks for sharing, your idea is a keeper!

Try the Geecrack 8inch bellows stick in all chartreuse. It's my favorite soft plastic.

[@MattStefanFishing]

ill check it out thanks!

[@peteremerson4777]

I will second the Deps Cover Scat comments in a huge way! That bait will flat out catch ‘em in pressured situations. You can fish the 3.5” like a jig-especially in rocky areas-and it will not get hung up. I’ve also whacked ‘‘em on the 2.5”. Put that on a Ned head and go fish a bridge abutment. Guaranteed bite!

[@MattStefanFishing]

interesting thanks for sharing

Whoa! Might get some to try it lol

[@MattStefanFishing]

[@tommybounds3220]

Thank you for the video brother

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@byADK]

For me it works best weightless around grass

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for sharing!

[@christianclair5159]

The way Geecrack recommend fishing it is on an EWG hook, weightless for suspended bass due to its massive salt content.

[@MattStefanFishing]

interesing

[@MadMaxx89]

Take a look at the namazu from nishine Lure works. It's a baby catfish type stick bait but there is something about the way it moves. It's heavy and very salty but so incredibly soft. It's a 5 inch bait and smallmouth smoke it, very aggressive strikes. It's such a simple looking bait but it just works. If you haven't already seen them please check them out, i really think it would be right up your alley.

[@MattStefanFishing]

ill check it out

[@wesmattless5776]

You could always try trimming some of the spindles down to appeal to the SMB’s more. Just my first thought when I saw it.

[@MattStefanFishing]

yep i thought about that

[@stevencaldwell838]

So, last year I went through all my Bass tackle and ended up actually selling over $500 of baits that I’m either not confident with , just taking up space and trying to get back to the basics and fish my strengths…the last thing I need is a Ned rig with an afro! 🤣

[@MattStefanFishing]

hahaha

[@christenis98]

I use the normal Imo ripper because it casts so well. It lets me reach spots that no one can reach weigthless in ponds where only bank fishing is allowed.

[@MattStefanFishing]

good point

[@Trawww15]

I caught a small mouth on the first cast at a place I have never had luck before. I really like it.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Nice!

[@AnomieX]

Power Ned? Could be the finesse version of a giant glide bait, doesn't catch a lot of fish, but only a big fish is going to have the confidence to whack it. Where I live (central Indiana) we don't get many bass over 5 pounds, but I might buy a pack to try them anyway because there's almost zero chance that the fish around here have ever seen anything like that before.

[@MattStefanFishing]

i think it a better pitching bait then ned rig honestly

[@brennancritzer4903]

I follow some guides on lake biwa that throw it a lot, been interested myself.

[@MattStefanFishing]

and they are catching fish on it?

[@allencasal]

[@MattStefanFishing]

nice to know!

[@BGkayakfishing]

I asked a Japanese friend of mine how he fishes this bait in Japan. He said to fish it in deeper water, 10’+. Let it sink to bottom and twitch it like a jerk bait. I am going to buy a pack and give them a try soon!

It's meant to be fished weightless. It's good for bed or tossing onto rock structure and beds. Crazily enough this bait can be walked like a topwater but under the surface.

It would probably work on a jig head/ned head. I would probably try to fish it more like a Deps CoverScat. Soak it on deep structure for a long time…

I catch tanks on em non stop! I literally just dropped $ on ika’s for when we warm up. In spots where I constantly catch 2+ little smallys on neds…. These and the ika out produce 3x, and pigs too. I run em on a 3k vanford on a 7’ med St. Croix. They are much more productive in rivers and creeks. But they work in ponds and lakes like hell too. These catch fish!!

[@stoneysdead689]

I don't think skirt material is necessary on a Ned rig- it's a bait that's known for being hit while it's dead sticked- no movement at all, just a small profile sitting on bottom. The skirt material will move and flow in the current giving the illusion of secondary movement I suppose but- like I said, don't think a Ned needs that. Nor does the profile generally need to be bulked up or broken so- I just don't see it myself but- I guess the only way to know is to give it a shot. I guess when you make a living fishing investing time into a bait is just that, an investment so- if you're not feeling it, I would cut it loose. Too many other good options you know you can have confidence in.

I believe these bait makers are thinking way out the box just thinking of how to entice these evasive fish, but the thing is I believe you beat any of these baits if a fish is hungry or is being bothered it will grab it!

"Imo" means potato and "Kemushi" means caterpillar in Japanese. I guess the body is shaped like a potato and those tentacles make it look like a caterpillar. Geecrack claims that their SAF material is an original blend of salt and amino acids that have smell and taste that bass are attracted to. I have a lot of confidence in Berkley PowerBait MaxScent, but I've only used Geecrack Bellows Gill so I can't say I have a lot of confidence in their SAF material yet.
