90% Of Anglers Fish A Finesse Swimbait Wrong! Try These Retrieves!

[@mikedurand8286]

Your attention to details and concise explanations are excellent. This my favorite angling channel, by far. Keep up the great work

[@MattStefanFishing]

Wow, thanks!

[@jimrussell3059]

I’ve watched this one at least 5 times and have a club tourney on table rock mid November Matt. I can’t wait to try the swim bait retrieves you shown but if the spoon bite is on look out! Thank you sooo much for this! I think our friend in the big Mo would agree with this technique.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Best of luck

[@willperryman4559]

This is great tips and I love the TUSH line of jigs, both finesse and the larger sizes. I used to use the ballhead jigs with a curly tail grub, and now that finesse TUSH has solved so many issues 👏👏👏👏👏🍀🎣🍀

[@MattStefanFishing]

Right on

[@oscaraldaiz9628]

A very effective way that I have found is to let fall to the bottom and slowly retrieve it while shaking the rod. It's kind of a twitchy retrieve; some may call it a tickle wind.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing

[@swimbaitonaprairie9359]

I do use football jig head tick the bottom with swimbait.. love the tush too

[@MattStefanFishing]

Me too

[@jessiepayne737]

Great video learning new techniques which is always a good thing. I just need to work on lure depth the court down method.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad to help

[@MarcusSpjut]

with the stright retrive I allso do some pop's, just a flicker liked a spooked litle baitfish. Seems to trigger a fish that follows and sometimes during the drop/pengelum as well. Been using the tuch with the berkly powerswimmer. Never done the durning alon the bottom but I will give it a go. :) Ty for the tips Matt.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing

[@comfortablynumb9342]

This is the kind of video that I watch your channel for. All of those retrieves should work for the saltwater. Letting the bait hit the bottom and reeling quick for a few turns and letting it hit again is a great way to catch flounder. I'm going to play with these ideas tomorrow for redfish and trout. I wish you'd come catch some salty fish with me in the Chesapeake Bay sometime.

[@MattStefanFishing]

That would be fun!

Love this channel. Northern old guy appreciate the content. I need that core tackle hook here in Madison and Geneva for night fishing late fall walleyes I think.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yes you do! Madison chain walleye night bite should be heating up right now!

[@billnails9471]

Ok I see now A weighted hook Thanks very much Matt.

You're welcome

[@billnails9471]

Matt You could have showed us how you rigged that Do you have a jig head on it or just a straight Hook , that's something we need to know.

[@MattStefanFishing]

It’s a core tackle finesse TUSH hook

[@AyCee21]

Thanks for the video. I always struggle with second guessing if my using the correct retrieve while I’m retrieving. Do you have any tips on knowing what depth your swimbait is in? That’s another thing I struggle with.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Count the fall rate on slack line

[@AyCee21]

@@MattStefanFishingis that 1ft per second?

[@cliffordwheelock5441]

Keep catching fish l Iove your videos will join after I get some bills paid

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome!

[@jayzilla484]

How often do you mixup your retrieves? Every other cast or a certain number of casts?

[@MattStefanFishing]

every other cast generally

[@jayzilla484]

@@MattStefanFishing great thanks.

[@BBRYNERFISHING]

Never tried that first one!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Give it a try!

[@Flupesy]

Whenever I use one of these it tumbles over and rotates like crazy maybe I’m using the wrong hook but I use a 3/0 EWG hook. I think the ones I have are 3.7 inches, any help for what kind of hook to use to avoid the tumbling?

[@MattStefanFishing]

The hook i was using which is a core tackle finesse TUSH hook

[@dennisederer3594]

Excellent présentation on a lure that I’m struggling with in AZ lakes. Despite my careful attempts to rig a Keitech 2.8 or 3.3 onto a 3/16 TUSH, the plastic splits and explodes on the lure. I have to place VMC O rings and super glue to hold the presentation together. I’m certain the underwater action is poor. I really like Keitech; however, any guidance for rigging a small Keitech or is there a similar plastic made by a company you trust that could be easier for me to rig? Thank you for any consideration to my dilemma.

[@MarcusSpjut]

When it comes to smaller and more finessier bait I use a hook (Im using decoy Jig 12) and a tungsten nailwight to build my own "tuch" with a smaller profile that fits the bait. :) (I rig them just in the top of the back, so I can get the wight in above the center line of the bait to get a nice "rolling" action.)

[@MattStefanFishing]

The finesse rush is easier to rig than the standard 2/0 rush. Try those. The 2.8 size is a little small to rig on it unfortunately

[@dennisederer3594]

@@MattStefanFishing, thank you very much.

[@billsemsrott3980]

Good stuff

[@MattStefanFishing]

Appreciate it

[@deline8ed619]

Great vid. Are you okay with putting a dab of super glue at the nose? Love those internal weight hooks.👌

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep you can absolutely use super glue to lock them on

[@williamknight5142]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching

[@tiptoeurchin]

This is proof that you may be throwing the right lure but still not giving the fish what they want to see.

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed

[@michaelnewman3707]

Wish I cast that far 😂😂

[@Fishboy68]

15# braid to a 10# fluro leader I like even 20# braid

[@MattStefanFishing]

You can do it

[@comfortablynumb9342]

With the right combination of rod, line and lure weight you can cast like that.

[@brianpenrod8493]

Lol!

[@MattStefanFishing]

haha
