This Is A Killer Technique You Need To Try!

I really like you bring little used baits and styles back in to the light! Keep On!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad you like them!

[@kennethhromcik9668]

My secret weapon. Used this last week to boat 32 up to 3 lbs. (and was home by noon). At the dock, several others still had the skunk in the boat. Keep these great videos coming. Tight lines and Godspeed.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Sounds like a fun day of fishing!

[@joshwhite8055]

One of our main baits here in East Tennessee . We usually throw a 5 inch Slider worm on a 1/8 ball head ... Works great for Spotted Bass

[@MattStefanFishing]

Great tip!

[@buzzworth2396]

I concur with Josh. I'm from Georgia and my brother & I used to take our crappie jigs and strip off the feathers and hackle and break off our Creame scoundrel worms. And catch spots on Lake Lanier until we ran out of worms. I still use it today. Just longer shafted hooks. We were doing it before Ned put his name on it

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

Thanks Matt. This is one of my favorite techniques here in Florida, owing to the fact that I live near several ponds with relatively clean bottoms. I primarily use a 1/16 head, and yes, I get a large percentage of my strikes on the fall.

[@coachmatt6735]

I suggested this technique in a comment on your recent grub video... and now I'm regretting it a bit. The jigworm has been one of my bread and butter tactics for decades. Like you I learned it from In-Fisherman: Matt Straw and Gord Pyzer. As an Ontarian, your channel is fast becoming one of my favourites... it's nice to hear someone talking about northern perspective: natural lakes, weedlines, and tactics that aren't southern impoundment specific. Keep up the good work. 🤘🤙👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

Cool, thanks!

[@michaelloucks4448]

Hey Mr staffan I read about this technique about 15 years ago and I think it was an article in bassmaster and they said it was originated in Arkansas and I never heard anything about again until you did this video. Hey matt thanks for all time you spend teaching us to become a better angler God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike.

The jig worm!! Haha I always have one rigged up when I fish largies on deep weedlines. . I feel like it was the standard in Minnesota (my home state) and still is for a lot of people in Minnesota but outside of that state I agree I really never hear of it.

Matt, one again you took a basic, simple technique and turned it into a wealth of valuable information we can use. Very well done! I trust you that it is pretty weedless although it seems as if it would be snagged a lot. I'm going to try it and I will let you know my experience.

[@MattStefanFishing]

if you are getting stck and cant pop it out of the weeds your jighead is to heavy. it should sit on top of the weeds and not get buried in them

Cast em out cover water .and reel em in 1 at a time. Slow falling baits take minutes to get down to wintering fish.so I fancast and reel in 1 rod at a time and recast. 1 falling as 1 reeling up. I've caught more fish this way when it's cold by keeping busy casting and reeling.gotta grab a rod quick some times.soaking a drop shot, or jig bumping in current draws strikes.

[@elizaz8486]

This is something I utilize but a tad different. I prefer a 1/16 shank weighted ewg hook. I actually file the diameter of the lead a little bit and use a trick worm (or fluke). Have to be careful putting on a trick worm so I pinch off the top eighth inch and then glue the worm. Super deadly on the fall. No error for loss of concentration as most of my hits come on the initial cast. Great vid, and I think I’ll give this a go to compare.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing! I like how your shank weighted rig sounds as well!

Thats the way i fish shakyhead for big perch here in sweden. Always with an exposed hook. I wonder why most of the angler in America want to make the hook weedless when they shakyhead.

I like the size 1/0 Berkley Fusion swim jighead with a black and red ribbon tail worm. I caught a good one one this setup back in October off the end of a river boat ramp dock. Hooked it at the back of the mouth, in the roof. It agressivly inhaled it after missing it on the blowup when it first hit the water. All I did was swim it back and forth with my rod two times by the branch it had been under before it gobbled it up. The conditions were on a clear warm Fall day and in muddy, low "tide" (above a dam) water, by a foot or so.

[@stoneysdead689]

Hmm- I've always seen ppl use a ball head jig, never tried it with the mushroom style head. I also generally use a straight tailed worm or a spade tail, something without a lot of action. The Z-man bang stickz were my go-to this last season for this technique. It's just a senko with four little, short tenacles on one end, elaztech so it stands up on bottom. I'll have to give it a try with a mushroom head and a curly tail, sounds interesting.

[@MattStefanFishing]

mushroom head style hooks are really good IMO

[@DrGargani]

nice video...I think one of the problems people run into is a narrow mindset of weedline fishing, where, they want something heavy that will crash down right through them, straight to the bottom....now, this will work, WHEN THEY ARE ACTIVELY FEEDING ON THE BOTTOM....but many times they are not, yet are still in the weeds. If one thinks of the weedline as an extended edge from top of the water column to the bottom, there are innumerable places where they can be along that edge, and a slower presentation just might put it in front of them, instead of rushing right by them.

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed! THanks for pointing this out!

We have a man made impoundment that grows hydrilla down to 25-30' deep. Would you go that deep with the jig worm? I'm not sure that I have the patience for the long fall
