www.mattstefanf...
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.

[@andybales7318]

This is bad news for a lure junkie, like myself...Clatter Claw to the collection in the near future 😂

[@MattStefanFishing]

Haha

[@brandonreynolds3884]

Gotta have some nice job Berkley!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

They are cool!

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Looks like a new bait to add to the arsenal!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!! 🤠👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

You got that right!

[@Triple87]

This is one of the baits I’m looking forward to. The other is the nuki bug from Yamamoto.

[@MattStefanFishing]

ill have to check that one out!

[@ryanvarner6520]

Always fun to see new baits tested in your on-the-water videos!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad you like them!

[@Nate_Higgins]

I'll definitely be giving thos a try. That skinny 18" smallmouth is perfect for kayak derby. That's exactly what I'm looking for.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Haha yes it would be

[@samwillis6692]

Nice looking lure, enjoyed the video!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad you enjoyed

[@rodneygreen9968]

Thanks Matt for your review & demonstration of this Berkeley bait. It looks like a great lure to fish.

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@undergroundbee]

Lol😂 the sigh at 6:39 😢😅 says it all . Thats exactly 💯 how I feel when that happens

[@MattStefanFishing]

Haha

[@josephdavison1979]

Matt's always got me spending money LOL that bait looks good have a great day everyone great video matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@chriseiserman33]

Thanks for the demo, looks cool!

[@MattStefanFishing]

you bet

[@Carolinafishingtales]

Definitely will be checking this out and will pre order. It seems to be a good one. Thanks Matt.

[@MattStefanFishing]

its a neat bait!

[@garyplowman5838]

Those Clatter Claws look great Berkeley is one of my favorite bass fishing lure company. I am going to have to pick some up. Thanks Matt for showing these off 👍🏻

[@MattStefanFishing]

Right on

[@stevevanhorn1909]

Dangit ! Another bait I need to try

[@MattStefanFishing]

its a good one

[@muskybites505]

Cool lookin bait. The head design reminds me of the strike king structure jig which is a winner.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Right on

[@PaintballShyguy]

I'll be picking picking some of these up. Nice review 👍🏻

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks

[@mikeeller557]

Thanks Matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet

[@SGM97B]

I always tie on a leader when in pike or snakehead waters. I know it impacts the lures action but it beats leaving a bait in a fish's mouth.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing

[@mamo9389]

We too, use fine and short 4inch braided steel leader when pikes are around.

[@stevesteve4350]

Honestly I think its got some issues but Berkeley is such a good company I can't complain. And I could be completely wrong. Appreciate the plug. ✌️😎

[@MattStefanFishing]

It’s a neat bait

[@larrypelgen4578]

Like the on the water show. Nice looking bait.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad you enjoyed

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

🍺I don’t need them but purchased numerous colors from your link anyway🤠. Currently scheduled to arrive in October.

[@MattStefanFishing]

haha! you can never have to much tackle! and thank you for your continued support!

[@Fishboy68]

Thanks Matt, looks like the same weedguard as the agent e. I always cut it off.Looks like that is not necessary.

[@MattStefanFishing]

It’s necessary around what i was fishing but not on the rock bottom

[@kevinrogers1033]

Great video thanks for showing the latest lures. I was hoping you have some suggestions on what to do with a hollow frog hook when the frog tears off. What lures can be rigged on it.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Lures?

[@kevinrogers1033]

Yes please.

[@kevinrogers1033]

Maybe a video on what to do with pre-rig lure hooks once the lures tears off.

[@haywardsautomotive6156]

Still have a lot of custom crawfish lures and always stuffed rattles in them especially in stained or muddy water.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Very cool

[@loganbronnenberg8102]

What was the knot you tied? Interesting little bait for sure, H20 has made one that I use its very durable/stretchy and all the appendages flloat and vibrate.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Miller knot

[@joestrummer9507]

Another craw bait and yes it's unique, looks cool, and will catch fish, however, at 5 bucks ea. how long will it last? Not long as it's not the durable stretchy plastic, which it most certainly should be considering it's a weedguarded bait. Also, only 1/2 oz. is odd.

[@MattStefanFishing]

It’s not like a plastic worm, it’s tougher than that

[@texoma_outdoors]

I really like the shape but not crazy about being pre rigged. Looks like it would be dynamite on a swinghead, but maybe that's the use for the crash craw? I haven't seen them in person to compare

[@MattStefanFishing]

they kinda are like a swinghead

[@brianwilson4184]

Hmm … Mega Bass had came out with a similar bait last year ? I like the rattle idea and I’m pretty sure you said there is a 3 1/2” 1/2 oz size . That would be ideal for the waters I fish. But I’m not much of a soft plastic guy though .. Once a year around spawn . That would have been cool if you could have landed that Pike ? Thanks for posting this video today .

[@MattStefanFishing]

Pike got me haha

[@denisschanberger2325]

Matt, did you end up with any conclusions about color or tearing the claw keeper off

[@MattStefanFishing]

i had success on all the colors i used with the watermelon orange and black blue being my favorite. I never tore a claw off.

[@Twangtown7]

Hey Matt, I got a few of the Core swim jigs. I notice the 2/0 version has the exact size weed guard/wire as the 4/0. It almost feels like it's too much/too big/too stiff for the 2/0. Like it may hurt the hookup ratio. Just curious why they're the same size.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Left it the same size so it could be altered easily. I remove it completely half the time i use the 2/0 size

[@jimholliman2822]

I looked up the clatter craw at Tackle Warehouse before I watched the video. At $10 for two I was pretty skeptical. You showed that they are pretty good, holding up well. Even better, I don't have to worry about Pike here in Oklahoma. I have a friend who's looking for a craw with orange claws and that's what the green pumpkin orange version has. 😁 I like craws where the claws float up. Do these claws float up with that rattle in them?

[@MattStefanFishing]

They held up great

[@mikeford9176]

Send me some! I can’t find them either. Will work good here in Michigan.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Haha

[@carlhurd4207]

I know it may not be able to happen, but you should team up Core Tackle and Berkley and do a monthly tackle subscription

[@MattStefanFishing]

That would be cool but i don’t think that will happen

[@Fishboy68]

Check out the crush city bronco bug very unique.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I will

[@jmccOutdoors]

Have you ever posted a bad review of a sponsor’s bait ?

[@MattStefanFishing]

No i just don’t use them or talk about them

[@tonyrobinson1623]

@@MattStefanFishing thanks for a simple, honest answer rather than avoiding the question.

[@DavidAlexander-e2l]

If you don't mind me asking, what pound test line were you using in this video? Thank you.

[@MattStefanFishing]

15 lb

[@DavidAlexander-hb9vr]

Thank you very much!! I thought it was much bigger by looking at it at the end of your video.

[@jordanbyates]

Speaking of black and blue. Have you ever talked to Mark Sexton about the color blue? I figured you might know the mad scientist personally since you’re a Berkley guy. Mark says that bass can’t see the color blue. That absolutely blew my mind.

[@kbone87]

I thought they see on a blue and red spectrum? I've heard lots of different theories at this point

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep and it blew mine as well haha

[@larryknoob9798]

What are you fishing next year in mlf ?

[@MattStefanFishing]

i have no idea what tournaments im fishing next year

[@charleshoodmanhood7874]

Look at the 6th Sense Kongo Craw

[@MattStefanFishing]

ill check it out

[@skidemn]

Wow, that’s not as bad a copy as other Berkley baits, but that’s a Megabass Sleeper Craw knock off.

[@MattStefanFishing]

nothing like the sleeper craw honestly

[@chriscurtis8577]

I want to know what stores do you think we'll have that crawdad

[@MattStefanFishing]

Tackle warehouse

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Thems is sexy! Man i worried about the rattles breaking but they help up good. Gotta try those for sure

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yes they did

[@formerIWUcoachDDD]

Do you think it would be just as effective with those 6 appendages and the two on the nose pulled off? I don't like all that stuff....

[@MattStefanFishing]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@AyCee21]

Hell no - last thing I need is more craws in my collection. I’ll take a pack in green pumpkin and black/blue please.

[@MattStefanFishing]

They worked well for Me

[@joffrechampagne7908]

3 for 8# ish ? Could hear the rattles on the Mike. I can see that working out here. Not a big fan of "rigged" baits, but when it hits the market I'll give it a fair chance.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I’m generally not a fan of rigged baits either but this thing is cool

[@justincrawford1325]

Is there a release date on those by chance?

[@MattStefanFishing]

This fall but you can preorder using the link in my video description

[@wolverinex4243]

Why don't you put the Jack 7 to real world use? I am interested. I think it might be a winner.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I’m looking forward to using it

[@williamknight5142]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching

[@Lethal_Giggles]

Why didn’t they just make it a sleeper craw weedless design.

[@MattStefanFishing]

it is weedless?

[@Lethal_Giggles]

@@MattStefanFishing The sleeper craw design is much better tho, just needs the rattling claws

[@sntdc2017]

Im guessing they are gonna be 7 to 8 bucks for 2?

[@Fishboy68]

10

[@MattStefanFishing]

Pricey but cool

[@georgeshreadiii8537]

what knot was that you used?

[@Fishboy68]

Looked like a trilene knot

[@MattStefanFishing]

Miller knot

[@danchilds881]

Really???? You tease us with this..... and they are not even available every where I have checked!! That is sooooo unfair and sooooo wrong Matt!!!

[@Norman-bone13]

Chill. I clicked on Matt’s link and found them at Tackle Warehouse. 🎣

[@MattStefanFishing]

You can preorder them at tackle warehouse

[@DCWEgoingFishingTV]

I got mines pre ordered

[@mikeandvickiejohnson3691]

Pike like everything bass like. Just lost a finesse tush to a pike.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Pike eat everything

[@tgardner866]

This lure might look good, but I but it is way overpriced and it will tear up super fast. I need to see somebody else use it . . .

[@MattStefanFishing]

So you don’t believe me…

[@garymueller6488]

I don't know about that weed guard Matt. Keep us posted. Otherwise might be worth a shot. Thanks for sharing.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Weed guard worked well for me

[@us_patriot_31b]

Only Berkley I fish is MAXSCENT! nothing else

[@us_patriot_31b]

May want to super glue that weed guard in there! Rocks may knock it out a little more often? Good looking bait though!

[@nickkerr5714]

Weird allegiance to a corporate brand

[@MattStefanFishing]

They make some other great baits

[@tombishop470]

Pike - 2 clatter craw - 0 :)

[@MattStefanFishing]

Haha

[@commoncents235]

Speaking of Icast I’m interested in the new Lowrance Eagle eye 9. Do you have an opinion? I would appreciate it. 🍺🍺🍺🫎🫎🫎🫎

[@MattStefanFishing]

I checked it out and for 1 $1k it was awesome deal

[@commoncents235]

I will use your link. Thanks for your help 🎣🎣
