My favorite custom swimbaits

[@FreedomFishing]

Just getting into glides. Crazy how tuned they have to be for different actions. I'm designing one now that I hope to be an all around smaller glide.

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed

[@heatholderinc4961]

Got that same trout donut

[@MattStefanFishing]

Nice!

[@offgridwhitetails8768]

Mike Bucca has the Bull Shad line up with a new glide as well. Best I’ve found for the price

[@MattStefanFishing]

ill give it a try!

[@imzooted1198]

You ever tried the klash 9 or tiny clash

[@MattStefanFishing]

yep! I love them.

[@richardlovett5187]

You should try the deps 250 and the drt clash 9 I have them and I love them

[@MattStefanFishing]

Gotta love the swimbait game. Kills the wallet, but pleases the soul.

[@MattStefanFishing]

so much fun to fish

[@I12beinu]

Yeah I’ve spent over 2k in the past three months beefing up my arsenal for the spring and summer… you gotta buy to try and then you figure out what works wel in your waters… then you gotta try and sell or trade makes a great hobby and awesomdays on the water even when you get tons of followers and no bites still gets me going!

[@atamagashock]

Ain’t that the truth!

[@Samuel-kz3vo]

Accurate asf

[@alanmarshall4723]

Hardcore bass fisherman and master wood carver. Haven’t thought about making some glide baits. Hmmm. Thanks for the inspiration

[@MattStefanFishing]

Just warning you that they can be addictive! Haha!

Matt Stefan Fishing could be worse things to be addicted to.

[@MattStefanFishing]

@@alanmarshall4723 haha Yep!

[@RyanCook55]

Check out custom Clarkey baits it’s friend of mine from high school in Ontario, Canada there a musky swim bait.

[@MattStefanFishing]

i will!

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Fish 30 acres is an amazing hidden gem in the glide game! He doesn’t over produce his baits and my God they get bit!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

I love fish30! Ive got a bunch of them!

[@NuteDobbs]

If you want a bait to have fun with try the Wild Beat. Fish catcher too.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip!

[@victorxavier9977]

It would be cool to have links to the manufacturer websites for the baits mentioned, thx for the video!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Will do

[@douglaswheeler3720]

Wanna tell you 1 of my favorite big bait stories. Committed to the game, about 10 years ago. My 1st bait was a Spro BBZ trout. On my very 1st trip out, I was floating the trout over a chunk rock dam ledge, that dropped from about 12', to 50'+. During the painfully slow retrieve, I watched 3 6-7lbers come up from deep off the ledge, and just hover under the bait......seemed like, forever!. Not really knowing what to do, at that point, I twitched the bait, very slightly. Instantly, 2 peeled off, and went back deep. The 3rd stayed, and followed, until she saw me, and peeled off, as well. That was my very 1st experience with big baits, and I've been addicted, ever since.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing!

[@patrickmarshall6428]

Started using them as a Muskie fisherman. Caught most of my biggest bass, fishing for Muskie. You should try Black Talon baits. Tough to get but, well worth it.

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks! ill check them out!

[@ryanmaness8329]

Ive been looking for a black talon for a while now. Still yet to see one for sale

[@uneathharrison]

86 baits doomrider gizzard is a amazing glide bait

[@MattStefanFishing]

ive heard but dont have one yet

[@uneathharrison]

@@MattStefanFishing they just put out a small batch of them but I wasn’t fast enough. Gone in minutes of course. But I’ve been wanting one for awhile and said to hell with it I’ll spend an extra $100 bucks and get one on eBay. I hear you Matt on how expensive it is. I’m the same way. I see these custom swimbait and have to by it. DRT tiny klash is a good one to. Crank it over tips of grass or off rocks and the big girls bite. Thank you for you content. About to go tie on the new savage gear pulse tails. The big one. And go creep it tomorrow morning in this cold weather. You got any other baits you have come across that you like since this video was put up?

[@CA-sl2xw]

@@uneathharrison It took me 18mos to get a chadshad…. Finally a dude told me the trick was PayPal and cha-ching! With all info preloaded it was two clicks, no more cart jack’s.

[@johnhatfield960]

the jackal gantral jr is an awesome bluegill imitator. Probably one of the best pond baits ever made

[@MattStefanFishing]

THanks for sharing!

[@joshwills958]

Dude the 86 doom rider is the best I’ve used just gets bit when nothing else will! Also love the KGB Chad shad and legend!

[@MattStefanFishing]

I havent been able to get a doomrider yet. Ill keep trying thats for sure

[@zoso3745]

Whats your go to open water glide? And have you thrown a hinkle shad? Curious as to how it stacks up to a phoney etc.. looking for a shad profile with a wide glide

[@MattStefanFishing]

my two best in terms of success are phoney shad and fish30acre

[@reelfunnyfishing651]

Psycho gill or Sherpa gill!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Nice!

[@Choffa09]

Look at Deps Bullshooter 160 S is abait that produces especially at night! For a cheap bait jackal gantrel gets bit

[@MattStefanFishing]

I want to try a bullshooter

[@ernieowens742]

What water color is good clear stained wind clam cloudy you got me going dude line rod thanks Matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

clear with a nice breeze on a cloudy day. depending on the glide ill use 15-20 lb fluorocarbon

[@CA-sl2xw]

Love this video. Also obsessed, I have 2doomriders and 2chadshads, but the one I love watching and fishing the most is an 8” Bucca Shadglide, painted by Clickbait customs. All the girls come out for that big pimpdaddy!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Nice Im going to check that one out. glides are awesome!

[@northeastpac-man7652]

Hey Matt awesome video I didn’t know you were into the big Swimbait game! You gotta get your hands in a hinkle Shad if you haven’t already they are worth the money as well, and I’m sure you have a Deps 250 I call them old faithful they always get me out of a jam

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep I got some deps I love but still no Hinkle and I personally know those guys haha. Its on my list of baits to get

[@northeastpac-man7652]

@@MattStefanFishing awesome that’s great to hear! Took me 2yrs to get a hinkle!

[@matthewcoleman3420]

You have got to take a look at the toxic baits wake n crank. Super simple bait, and not really appealing in the realism department, but man they just get bites. Don't sleep on it. This is one that every swimbait angler needs to have. I feel like it hits the same pats craze that went on years ago but at a much more understandable price and are easy to come by which makes them easier to throw without caution.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Got one! I do like it!

[@bottomlinebassin2001]

Check out Cl8baits, you would love em🐟💪🏻

[@MattStefanFishing]

I’ve heard some great stuff about them but don’t have one yet. Thanks for the info!

[@fishermanofthesouth4112]

I’ve been getting into swimbaits for the past couple of years. Mainly soft baits like the Huddleston but I’ve had more success with glide baits. I found a really cheap 6” glide they’re like $5.50 a piece and they’re my favorite. They swim great, slash like it’s nothing and 180 turn like a dream. I had two and unfortunately lost them both due to bad spots in my line but I highly recommend them for new swimbait guys. They’re cheap and catch big fish like the rest of them. I found them on Facebook market place like two years ago and haven’t been able to find anymore since.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Hopefully there are more out there for you to buy!

[@kevinzap.fishing]

U should try the hinkle baits! I have a trout and have had 6lbers fighting for it

[@MattStefanFishing]

I know. I haven’t been able to get my hands on one yet

[@kevinzap.fishing]

@@MattStefanFishing it takes a while but worth the wait!

[@jflesh.bassin4948]

Great video with lots of good info about the baits. Thanks for sharing. I've been throwing primarily big custom swimbaits for a little over two years now, and it's definitely addicting. Also, as mentioned earlier, try a KGB Legend if you get a chance to get in on a drop. Thats been my best producer for big bites so far. Several cast2catch videos of fish between 6-10 lbs on my Channel. Keep catching em, man 👊

[@MattStefanFishing]

very cool ill check them out

[@waynesammyswingle6107]

You can expect to hear from my wife. I am going to give you all the credit for my new custom swimbait purchases. Thanks

I hear ya! But a lot of these are investments. They actually increase in value! That’s how i justify it to my wife at least. Haha
