This Swimbait Is The Solution To Ultra Pressured Lakes! Bass Can’t Resist Them!

[@phillamoore157]

Of all the norther fish I miss catching smallmouth is the #1. They're like catching a giant bluegill. Their fight is so much fun, especially on lighter tackle, and they're the prettiest freshwater game fish IMHO. Their markings are beautiful.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Couldn't agree more!

[@rodhendi459]

Matt, thank you for the gentle soft releases of the fish. I really dislike watching guys throw the fish 6’ in the air. We should cherish and protect our resources.

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed

[@davidprovost112]

So much better than the guys who treat fish with distain

[@bronzebackwrangler]

Hey matt ive been crushing them on the keitech finesse football jig i saw in one of your videos. I live in Pennsylvania

[@MattStefanFishing]

Nice!!

[@TWC6724]

I live in the mountains of NC and the smallmouth love the finesse swimbaits on these highland reservoirs.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Right on

[@timothyturner2165]

Big fan of finesse swimbaits. I have one tied on at all times.

[@MattStefanFishing]

me too!

[@raybrenneman7240]

Good way to recharge your batteries after a tough tournament. Love using the keitech also. For more rolling action and durability try xzone swammer 2.8;3.5 or 4.0”. And especially on the Wisconsin river the 309 color has really been good. 309 color is colored like the river smallies and they are cannibals eating small smallies

[@crunchtv3821]

Shhhh

[@MattStefanFishing]

Ill check them out!

[@johndrx165]

I like that you don't set your drag so light that it is always slipping like I see more and more. Drag is for when the fish makes a strong run or you hook a very large fish.

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed

[@miketurenne7204]

Hey Matt, I just got back from vacation in the BWCA in northern MN. Fishing was tough because it early you know but...... I did very well on your swimjigs!!!!!! It was the only thing they would take other than a jerkbait. Thank you!! Core tackle swimjigs are great!!! I used 1/4 oz 4/0 best colors were gillty pleasure and black and blue.

[@NorthWoodsWes]

Nice!! What entry point?

[@miketurenne7204]

31 Farm Lake.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome! glad you like them!

[@dougwitherby3291]

Awesome.. sure miss ole lake Erie smallies.

[@MattStefanFishing]

lots of fun!

[@rodneygreen9968]

Thank You Matt for demonstrating the Tush differences of hook sizes. I've got to buy me some. Yeah.

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@normanwiggins1320]

Looked like a good time on the water for your short time. Hope you can make a video with the boys fishing on this trip.

[@MattStefanFishing]

we just made a wednesday night derby video

[@edwardwicht5271]

Those rod jolting strikes never get old.

[@MattStefanFishing]

love them!

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Hammer down exclamation point nothing like catching Smallmouth on a crystal clear Northern Lake. Great to see you're going to get some family time period And I am glad you showed a comparison between the regular and the finesse. The Finesse heads are the only thing I don't have that core tackle makes. I have regular tush heads. I would have thought the only difference was the hook wire gauge. Thanks for the information

[@MattStefanFishing]

glad to help!

[@oldschoolfishing4194]

Love it when you fish...we want more of that!

[@MattStefanFishing]

more coming

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

🍺 Thanks Matt.Looked like you had a nice enjoyable afternoon.🤠

[@MattStefanFishing]

I did!

[@chrischrist7982]

Totally awesome

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks!

[@jonathanstewart9838]

Enjoy the vacation, think Im gonna have to add these to my swim jig order

[@MattStefanFishing]

you should!

[@mikeeller557]

Thanks Matt Ya gotta love smallmouth

[@MattStefanFishing]

yep!

[@itllkeal]

Nice one. I may have to give them a try now that the spawn is over here in NE Tennessee

[@MattStefanFishing]

go for it!

[@stevesmith7164]

Good video Matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks!

[@johnmurray9023]

I make these Rippers. Excellent lures

[@MattStefanFishing]

sounds good

[@secretbassrigs]

awesome TUSH bite

[@MattStefanFishing]

So fun!

[@douglasspickler4925]

Looks like a great lake.

[@MattStefanFishing]

it was fun!

[@Nate_Higgins]

That's some pretty water. That must be nice after being on that Eufaula mud puddle. This might be a silly question, but do you point your rod straight at the bait when you retrieve this bait, or are you offset a bit? I only have a few of the red TUSHs that u got at the Classic left. Those looked so cool, I've been painting some of my regular TUSH heads. Really gives the bait a cool look. Tenkiller smallmouth seem to like em.

[@MattStefanFishing]

offset a bit

[@bill7949]

Love them brown fish

[@MattStefanFishing]

me too!

[@adrianalvarado7407]

Hey Matt have you used a tush in a tube. I think I'm gonna try that

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yes and it’s amazing! The finesse tubes are awesome in a small 2.5” tube too. My Wednesday night video coming out today has some tube/finesse tush fish catches!

[@kentbrown5369]

Matt I noticed you are fishing a rod with the one piece handle. How are you liking it. I have been eyeballing it.

[@MattStefanFishing]

rod build video coming soon!

[@NorthWoodsWes]

Smallies rock!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed!

[@pequenioedgarito3067]

Please make the Tush in tungsten ❤

[@MattStefanFishing]

Looking into it!

[@markhogquist2000]

Seems like it would tear up any paddle tail that is relatively soft in nature. Probably wouldn't work well with soft swimbaits that have a slimmer profile that that Keitech Fat.

[@MattStefanFishing]

youd be surrpised what you can get it into.

[@markhogquist2000]

@@MattStefanFishing That's what she said. Just ordered 3 packs. Gonna give them a try. Much more cost effective than swimbait jig heads. I use the OSP Dolive Shad and Raid Full Swing a lot. If the bait keeper is big and gnarly, they tear up pretty bad.

[@williamknight5142]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@ronrzadzki9460]

I know yesterday wasn't the greatest day but it sure looks a bit cold out there. Still must be fun. Enjoy your family when you can, time flies by!

[@MattStefanFishing]

will do!

[@jeffpickett9730]

Be nice if there was sound!!

[@oldschoolfishing4194]

sound works fine for me.

[@MattStefanFishing]

turn the volume up haha
