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 roughly a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.

[@heirapparent333]

My confidence bait, I caught my pb large mouth at four years old on one, will never forget it. It was on a 7 foot 8 spinning rod, in a river, I did everything except take it off the hook once on dock. I was using a shad color swim jig, with a small whit grub paddle tail, as my trailer. Never fished a kids rod a day in my life personally. Always used adult rods.

[@MattStefanFishing]

sounds good to me!

[@jamierice3189]

Definitely like the on the water stuff..

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks!

[@jjh31]

I’m late to the Swimjig party but I’m trying to add another tool. I’m trying to improve and build confidence in my all around jig fishing and this video has definitely shown me that this technique is very versatile. Thanks for the knowledge!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@edgarmelton8091]

Damn that was some damn good casting Matt great motion no wasted time In between boat control was spot on that’s why your cashing checks more cast more fish

[@dhjhawk]

Thanks, Matt. Working on my swim jig game. Only other bait I could suggest has the same versatility, especially in and around that hind of cover is a Texas rigged worm. I have been wrecking them everywhere on that Berkley Maxscent Kingtail. Only problem is they don't last long as a jig, usually one or two fish, and they're on the expensive side. Have you tried them?

[@MattStefanFishing]

They are really good!

[@kevinmoore4807]

You rigging that trailer vertical or horizontal? or both?

[@MattStefanFishing]

vertical

Chatter bait bite is on in my area right now I killed them yesterday it’s cooler here the bite didn’t really pick up till about 2

Thats the key bite window this time of year in my area as well.

Like those swim jigs!!👊🏻 You had some nice action on the river even though some were pike!! What size swim jig were you using? Some same 1/4 oz. for up to 4ft. I had some success with the swim jig and hope to get better results next season. I've learned aa lot since I started watching your videos.👍🏻 Stay Safe & God Bless!!

My go to size is the 3/8 oz

What is your line size preference on swim jigs. Thanks great video.

[@MattStefanFishing]

15 lb Berkley 100% fluorocarbon

[@heirapparent333]

I fish the most styles with swim jigs myself. Fast steady, slow stead, or slow with sporadic fast sready retrieves. Horizontal yoyo, vertical yoyo, as well as hard jerk yoyo of each of those two. I've been bit on all types thru out the year.

[@MattStefanFishing]

all of those can be great retrieves!

[@alcav54]

I like a 7’ 3” heavy action for swim jigs. I fish a lot of grass and the heavy action helps me rip it through the grass

I throw a Dirty Jigs swim jig on 30lb braided line in the grass. Does it make a difference using fluorocarbon? Visibility where I fish is anywhere from 1-3 feet of water. Will I get more bites using flouro then braid? Thanks

[@MattStefanFishing]

I think youll get more bites on fluorocarbon, but id add that you might lose more if the grass is thick, which dictates if i use fluorocarbon or braid.

[@michaelloucks4448]

Hey Mr Stefan very nice casting skills hey matt you where pitching that swimjig right in there house a little late for a comment on this video anyway oh I have some of the mobster swimjigs. God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike.

Thanks 👍

[@johnstanley6819]

What line do you use on your swim jig?

[@MattStefanFishing]

15 lb fluorocarbon

[@af4od02]

I carry on the deck of my boat some small ornamental landscape hand shears. If i get hung up in a branch and I can’t “ pop” it off, instead of untangling the bait, i just cut the branch and drift off. Saves the trolling motor prop and spooks less fish.

[@MattStefanFishing]

good idea!

[@kenneth9874]

Those pike must be aggravating and expensive at times, our nemesis down here are choupique, they can bite through line so fast and easy it's ridiculous, they do put up a pretty good battle if they don't cut you off but can wreck a bait at times

[@MattStefanFishing]

they are

Try it out and give me your honest opinion. I think you'll like it.

How many fish did he catch in this vid? I'm sorry.....I lost count.

[@MattStefanFishing]

a few!

[@davemoulding8799]

Why not braided line , pike won’t break it off and the line will help on swim bait swimming

[@MattStefanFishing]

i dont like the action i get with braided line and it cuts into wood leading to a lot more snags. plus it doesnt help a ton with pike teeth. they will cut through it almost as easily

[@juleswinnfield826]

Again, everything he said. Liking the on water stuff, good secondary info. Really like the tunability of swimjigs depending on what size and style of trailer is used. Maybe go into detail on their mods based on fall rate, grass fisheries, open water applications. Thanks for the vid.

I thought that was the size. Thank you for such a prompt response.

[@wolverinex4243]

I think swim jigs are bad for a number of reasons. Jigheads are best. 1. Wrong head profile for roll. 2. Skirt is unnecessary and probably hinders action a little. Skirt also look unrealistic. Skirt may play a role in retrieval speed. Skirt gives undesirable bulk 3. Weed guards are pointless. Well, not really, but when they are that stiff, it is. Can always mod or remove. Must thin out or cut halfwsys. Weed guards are so stiff you can't even get it to go pass the barb when triggered. Good for coming thru weeds and brush, very bad for hookup. Plus, a skirt makes it very difficult to thread bodies straight, esp. if you are new or don't use them as much. 4. I do better using straight jighead. It's all in the action. Only difference is having weed guard . For the most part, you don't really get hung up unless your bait rolls hard. Your line is technically you weed guard if your lure run vertical like a normal swim jig or a Keitech or a spinnerbait.

Swim Jig is one of those lures I used frequently then stopped and forgot about.

Any tips on the huge cold front we have had in Wisconsin lately? We have had lows in the 30s and highs in the 50s in South Western Wisconsin lately and the fish have shut off the fall patterns I have been fishing.

[@MattStefanFishing]

This has pushed them into winter mode. They had been staying shallow feeding but moved to straight winter IMO. The amount of light in the day has them in there normal phase even though water temps are still high for this time of year

[@bow-leggedfishing5883]

The weather in Southwest Colorado has done the same thing, even snowed a couple of weeks ago. I figured this is what happend to the fish, but thought they might snap out of it.....nope. Winter is here😥 Thanks for the info.

Does water clarity impact your choice to use a swim jig? Would you use on a place like Ohio River with 6” visibility?

Yes, if shallow water. But in super dirty water i might go for a jig, spinnerbait or chatterbait first

99% of my fishing is also on a River in Canada. The Ottawa River. Great smallmouth and largemouth. Been throwing spinnerbaits for years as a search bait and have never used a swim jig before. After watching this video I’ll be picking some up. It’s basically a spinnerbait without the blades and much more versatile! The blades on a spinnerbait can cause it to be physically taxing when covering water fast. The swim jig will be a refreshing change! Your videos are excellent and very informative. Thank you!

[@WesleyKennedy]

I've been using a 7'5" MH-XF for my swim jigs lately. Seems that the extra length makes the tip a bit softer while having the sensitivity of the XF action. Not sure if it's my favorite yet but that's what I end up trying it on consistently. Also, have you tried a River2Sea D Walker 120mm on the back? The action is fantastic and gives you a completely new look.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I’m not a fan of using it on XF rods. I’ve tried it and found i was losing a lot of fish with it. But if it works for you that’s all that matters.
