My Profile:
www.mattstefanfishing.com/
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.

[@erniebrightfishing]

Matt I absolutely love the fact that you can promote the brand WITHOUT putting the competition down. You said the jackhammer is still a great bait. While also saying the advantages of Berkleys slobberknocker. That's true honesty and to me that's what matters. I feel like if the product is crap even if I'm sponsored by that company I'm gonna voice that. May cost sponsorship but at least my integrity and my word is still valued and respected

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks very much! All im trying to do is promote baits that I think will help people catch fish. Im truly not trying to sell product and the reality is im always talking about baits on my channel that im NOT sponsored by. Im a tackle junky and love cool things. The jackhammers a great bait and will continue to be a great bait regardless of what competition it has in the future..

[@paulgiannetto5317]

Matt love the integrity you show in your presentations. Keep up the great work and good luck in your tournaments.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Slobberknockers are awesome they truly make a totally different sound than any other bladed jigs, and you can feel the thump as soon as you crank the handle, it starts immediately! I also love how the bait keeper holds the trailer on! You can definitely hear them coming through the water!

[@MattStefanFishing]

they are good baits!

[@fatika4598]

Looking forward to trying them. Jackhammer definitely increased bladed jig confidence. I’m not sure why some people are complaining about the name. Are we misleading a bunch of 3 year olds that are the primary consumers of fishing tackle. Who gives a shit about the name. It’s a bladed jig by Berkley that most bladed jig enthusiasts want with a brain beyond the concrete operational stages of brain development will be utilizing. If it starts up fast, is consistent, gets bit/good hookups, decent durability; then we’ll use it. I can’t wait to get slobberknockered.

[@MattStefanFishing]

haha!

[@richardporter1455]

I have heard some good stuff. Hear it's got a great start up.. I will definitely pick up a few to add to my chatter bait box. I really like the Fusion hooks as well

[@MattStefanFishing]

Good luck!

[@BassholeByNatureFishing]

They’ve been selling the F19 swimjig down here and I’ve added to my arsenal, I can’t wait to see what this does in the Atchafalaya!!! I need a bluegill color. Tell them to make a green pumpkin-blue-white-chartreuse color combo!! Call it the “Basin Bream!”

[@nelsonchiro]

Looking forward to trying it! Great info! Can’t go wrong throwing something no one else is, especially in the heavy pressured South Jersey lakes.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Couldn't agree more!

[@ColoradoFishing]

Looks like a decent design. Thanks for describing the differences between it and the zman, the level of detail was great.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad you like it!

[@mikeeller557]

Wow what a plug (catching clams). Can't wait to run it. Thanks Matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

if it catches clams it will catch bass!

[@markzajac5088]

I fish at night all the time now that I'm retired, and this really looks like something to add to the list. Thanks Matt.

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@LuckyLucky-bm1pg]

that skirt infused scent is what truly makes the slober knocker unique..

[@MattStefanFishing]

It helps

[@rvfishingyet]

Love the fusion 19 hooks as well. Look forward to getting some of these, hopefully they have 1/4 all the way up the usual sizes.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I hope so too!

[@travisbruno5964]

I agree fushion 19 hooks are my favorite besides Damiki and gamakatsu..when i buy a bait i never change the hooks you cant tye a knot witnout getting stuck thats a great hook, so props to berkley on those

[@MattStefanFishing]

agree!

[@terrytresemer2864]

I noticed Berkeley has been marking their baits more. I like it ! Wish other makers would start.

[@MattStefanFishing]

i love it as well

I have been hearing good things about this bait! Looks amazing and I will be sure to try them when they come out!

[@MattStefanFishing]

You should!

[@Glock-1]

I love the slobberknocker it is way better than the chatterbait in wood cover, I still love the chatterbait but the slobberknocker is an awesome addition to the toolbox I also love the MiniMax chatterbait. The only color of both i need is Firecraw, but the slobberknocker starts vibrating instantaneous as soon as you turn the handle

[@MattStefanFishing]

is a great bait!

[@caroferg8857]

And clams lol. That was funny. I haven’t seen em out yet but plan to get some to try. Thanks!

[@MattStefanFishing]

You should!

Thanks! Will do!

[@rodgermerritt8067]

That's funny..the Clam slayer it is.. on my list to try.. Thanks for sharing

[@MattStefanFishing]

thats a good bait name! the clam slayer!

[@BobbyBalsaRNM]

Looks good! Same keepers as the Berkley jigs (which I've been loving!) I still use the original chatterbaits bc I don't see a ton of difference for the extra $12 of a Jackhammer. I'll give these a shot

[@MattStefanFishing]

their keepers are great

[@shawn_r_schultzfishing4883]

I will have to check it out! I was just looking at Strike King's new tungsten Thunder Cricket, I think we were talking about why didn't someone make those. Icast will be here very soon and I will once again be supporting the channel 🎣

[@MattStefanFishing]

haha! ill be supporting the channel as well. I love seeign the new icast baits but it hurts my wallet

[@fishingsince8824]

Thier has been a tungsten version of the jackhammer available in Japan for awhile. For some reason it's banned from US sales from my understanding. Even the jdm sites won't ship em to the USA.

[@coreyd.787]

Awesome! I've been looking for a new vibrating jig to add to my clam fishing arsenal! Lol

[@MattStefanFishing]

not many good clam baits on the market haha!

[@patrickmahoney3479]

This will be a real winner of a bait. The fact that it has a different sound and profile is a plus. The fusion hook seals the deal.

[@MattStefanFishing]

its got some good things going for it!

[@erokraider1690]

The blade attachment looks similar to the Booyah Melee. On the melee I have trouble with grass getting stuck between the blade and the bar, but other than that I like it and have gotten bites on it. Looking forward to trying this version.

[@MattStefanFishing]

ill check out the melee and havent had any grass issues with this one

[@kennyg3192]

I will say that the Z man with the freedom catch like the Texas rig where you can interchange the easy wide gap hook they run true, and that blade kicks in immediately, it’s been a great bait to fish Matt, thank you brother I just got me a canoe fiberglass and it’s crazy buddy mine was saying something about a new chatter bait coming out but you said you had this for six months, Haven’t seen it in any stores

[@MattStefanFishing]

ive been field testing for berkley but its not in stores yet. should be soon!

[@mattforsyth4411]

Well it looks like I know what I'm taking the next time I go clam fishing.

[@jeffreypennekamp7101]

[@MattStefanFishing]

Go for it!

[@MWM92688]

I have heard about this and I’m excited to give them a try I love fishing a bladed jig

[@MattStefanFishing]

me too!

[@Bankfishindude]

Gotta have that thump! Great stuff

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed!

[@lljustice3877]

I’ll definitely give it a shot. A lot of anglers will say Bass are getting conditioned to the same lures. So a lure that can produce a different action from the norm might just be the difference between a glance or a reaction strike on some days.

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed

[@_gw33do_]

Yup, took a different top water buzz bait to a "fished out" pond and landed my first fish ever!! Largemouth 3.4lbs with Booyah pond magic buzz bait

[@tunit8946]

I like it . Thanks for the info.

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet

[@twiggsherman3641]

The way it attaches to the blade is to get around Zman's stupid chatterbait patent. That's why Jackhammer's are 8 bucks in Japan, but 15 in the US, because Zman has their patent tax. In this case I think the way they join the blade actually looks like a better solution. I'll have to pick a couple up and give them a try. One good thing about Berkley is they usually price their stuff a lot more budget friendly.

[@MattStefanFishing]

yeah i kinda assumed that as well but i really like some of the advantages of the bar connection

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Great review!!!👊🏻 Can't wait to try one!!!👍🏻 Stay Safe & God Bless!!

Hope they make it in 3/8 oz for keeping it up in the water column so I can rip it above the submerged grass here in Florida. Thanks for sharing.

[@MattStefanFishing]

they do!

[@19empire85]

I think it looks awesome and ill deffinatly be buying some fo try, I gotta say I'm a bit dissapointed that the msrp I saw was like 14 dollars. Ive certainly got alot of baits that cost that much or more, I mean I have a box full of jackhammers, but berkleys biggest positive point for me was a good quality bait at a relatively low price. For what you get ive always found berkely to be surprisingly more affordable than comparable baits. Still I can't wait to get my hands on a few and I really hope they have a couple interesting or oddball colors... now they need to design a specific maxscent trailer for their bladed jig!

[@MattStefanFishing]

hmm i honestly dont even know the MSRP. hopefully its lower than that

[@RealMitchRapp]

Love your content, Matt. Vacation in Maine and show me how to catch these massive smallies better. We’ll go out in my tin rig.

these bladed jigs all have their time and place to shine..Ive owned the Stealth Blade since its public release and haven't had a bass even look at the thing .One that did impress me as far as" blade start up " was the Thundercricket. I'm also a fan of the heavier 3/4 oz project Zs' and the 1 1/4oz jackhammer. Finally got a little boat,so that one will be coming out the package finally.I cannot for the life of me find the Powerbait Shakey Snake?!-anyways ,i see the potential in this one until all you pros get em conditioned to the dang thing!!Lol

[@MattStefanFishing]

i honestly dont know the MSRP...other comments indicate its $14. I hope its less than that, but even that is almost 30% less than the jackhammer i guess.

[@Glock-1]

Now you will have to get Berkley to make the Mini Max size! That would be awesome

[@MattStefanFishing]

if its successful it wouldn't surprise me if they come out with various sizes.

[@mikebower9255]

Finally!!! Sweet!!! Hey, until I get to hold one in my hands.... Is it possible, that the bar thru the head actually helps with the start up? If you hold the blade upright, like it is when it's in the water, and twist it left and right, does it - touch, nudge, guide the head in any way as that bar moves with the blade?? Is that part of the Berkely genius? You know I love my Berkely too, that bar *could* actually impart action on the jig part? Either way, can't wait to buy them

[@MattStefanFishing]

i think it almost helps knock the bait back to the other side giving it more action. i know the Berkley people tested it in multple ways against the competition and found that it exceeded in noise, vibration and started up vibration by a lot in their controlled testing.

[@masterqueef6979]

What a name for a lure 🤣

[@MattStefanFishing]

haha

[@LowBrowFishing]

I'll be honest, I was never the biggest fan of the jackhammer. Heresy, I know. But I prefer the Strike King Thunder Cricket. My favorite bladed jigs, however, are the ones I make myself. Those thump so hard it actually will make your fingers tingle for a while after throwing them. That being said, those Slobberknockers (who comes up with these names, btw?) remind me of a jig with a switchblade attached to it. So I am curious. You already know I have to buy some.

[@MattStefanFishing]

let me know what you think once you get them!

[@wolverinex4243]

I like hard thump, but I would like it if the thump translates all the way down to the tail. I would like a wider vibration, not just a faster vibrate or whatever. Don't care how fast they start. If I did, I'll avoid all buzzers. Not into speed fishing. I think what I imagine is something else entirely different and what get or what is possible mostly is entirely something else. That's why I want to be a company in my own right making lures as my fantasy company. I'm like the refinement in Japanese builders, but I guess I like result and niche. Hard to explain if yall are not tinkers.

[@MattStefanFishing]

start the company up!

[@AddictedAngler]

Bait looks good but I be more concerned abt the hardware . Would the connecting rod rust? How does it hold up on cover !

[@DAVE_WHITE]

No respect for companies that rip off of other baits. I’m sure they would cry if someone ripped off their maxscent or power bait formulas.

[@MattStefanFishing]

just for the record, using your logic would then indicate that Z-man basically stole the chatterbait idea from the Eagle Claw Eaker Shaker which came out in the late 1990's. Here is a video of it kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH6XlXpqodmFj8k Almost every new bait that has come out in the last 20 years is just an improvement of an older design. I personally dont think there is anything wrong with improving on something that already exists and zman has a patent on theirs so its obviously not a big enough copy to be a patent infringement.

[@19empire85]

By that logic you shouldn't have respect for any company that makes a a crankbait, spinnerbait, buzzbait, jerkbait... you see where I'm going here, thats like every company... also thats basically exactly what baitfuel is doing, which is now infused in netbait products. Except maxxscent works great and baitfuel hasn't got me an extra bite that im sure was because of baitfuel since I got it early this spring.

[@DAVE_WHITE]

@@19empire85 No they tried to pass a law of at least a 15% design change, in the fishing industry long ago it went nowhere.

Then by the time that product is released there are already 15 companies ripping of the design and offering it at a lower price.. that is my point. there should be a patent and a time frame just like any other business where it can not be copied for XXX number of years..

@@DAVE_WHITE lol im not gonna argue here on Matt's channel, anywhere else on social media I might but I respect Matt and im not gonna do it here, ill just say go to Google and do some research, there are patents in the fishing market, just like all the other markets, and just like those markets changing something by a certain percent is how you get around them. Everyone copies everyone in every industry, multiple tool companies don't make the same tools? Building materials? Cars? Aftermarket parts? Food and drink? Clothing? And those are just the things I can think of by just looking around me lol that list is endless brother, im not sure what world you live in lol but like I said im not gonna argue here, I doubt your mind is willing to change even if it saw proof, so good day to you sir.

Great lure. But who can afford $13.99 for a lure that has great potential for getting hung on a stump or a rock?
