This Is A Swimbait Tip I Just Learned And You Need To Try!

[@Texaslivinoutdoors]

Tie a piece of braid from the front hook hanger to the stinger hook

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep

[@waxhawcreek1717]

What size treble would you use ? Thanks

[@Texaslivinoutdoors]

@@waxhawcreek1717 depends on the bait size. I don’t want to limit the actions so I’ll go as small as I can get away with

[@frankfarris6485]

Thank you

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet

[@BIGGANT78]

Do you have a problem with the back hook fouling the lure?

[@MattStefanFishing]

Nope

[@skidemn]

Hey Matt, what size treble are you running?

[@MattStefanFishing]

One size smaller than the one that is attached

[@itllkeal]

Thanks for the tip. I've been thinking about getting one and giving one a try myself

[@MattStefanFishing]

You should!

[@BrandonTFishing]

I've thought about doing this and also doing nail weights. Do you have a treble hook size you recommend? Also do you have any nail weight placement recommendations and not kill the action?

[@MattStefanFishing]

I recommend a hook one size smaller than the front hook

[@ryanganey4434]

Great content as always Matt .. thanks for your expertise

[@MattStefanFishing]

My pleasure!

[@pinhookfishingclub]

Great info!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@coreydempski5119]

New mic sounds good!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks!

[@johnrayner5599]

This looks like something I need to try, thanks for the tip Matt!!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@jonbullard7074]

Interesting 🤔

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@nybbhUSA]

Do you use it on the 5” version?

[@MattStefanFishing]

You can but i don’t

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

🍺Thanks Matt. 🤠

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching

[@mikebond996]

Curious Matt. Was that a 9" Nessie? I m looking at a 7 incher from my box and it looks pretty skinny in that area. Love the idea.

[@MattStefanFishing]

That was a 7

[@siryarwammowray3445]

Looks good I'll have to try that 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MattStefanFishing]

Go for it

[@douglasspickler4925]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet

[@DanielBoone337]

I've caught a bunch of 6 to 9lb fish on glides on Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn my luck I'd hook a 10+ pounder on that back hook and it would tear out... Luckily I live close enough to saltwater so I'd go try to catch a couple redfish and see how it holds up because if it works it would definitely be a good mod. Why didn't they put that hook there in the 1st place??

[@MattStefanFishing]

Not sure

[@davehuggins5777]

I was thinking you could run a piece of braid to the front hook. Have you thought of that and would it work?

[@Oldbasshole]

I was thinking the same thing

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep i mentioned it in the video

[@inlikemin]

Awesome idea. What size screwlock did you use?

[@MattStefanFishing]

Depends on the bait size but the biggest you can get in it

[@davidlewis9572]

Great idea

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad you think so!

[@victorsimonsen921]

nice tip thanks for sharing

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet

[@richshackelford5793]

Good tip Matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@stevesmith7164]

Good tip

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad you liked it

[@harryaterui2474]

Unrelated to this video, but your jerk bait tips have helped me quite a bit. While the treble hooks are maddening sometimes, it has become one of my favorite ways to fish.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Great to hear!

[@edwardwicht5271]

Very clever! Thanks for sharing.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@bluegrassbodybuildingfitne406]

I fished a tournament at Dale hollow last weekend and had so many followers on this bait. It was crazy. Only 3 committed and only landed one. It was a really nice smallmouth though.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Good stuff

[@ryanvarner6520]

Sounds like an update is going to be coming on Nessie!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Maybe

[@joepworther2284]

I'll try it out , Matt, thanks for the great tip !!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet

[@garyong2499]

If you push a toothpick or paperclip thru the twistlock eye, that might reenforce the hook a little more if you can get the eye into the bait.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Agreed

[@mountainstatefishing]

Does it affect the action at all?

[@MattStefanFishing]

Nope

[@adammitchell3462]

Cool tip, I'm sure it'll help keep a fish pinned

[@MattStefanFishing]

I hope so!

[@schwonce]

Hey Matt. I watch all the time. Love the channel. Not sure if you're under the weather or not, but your audio sounds a bit off to me. Keep it up. I'm pulling for you to get a W on the BPT this year!

[@MattStefanFishing]

It’s a new microphone

[@oregonsmalljaw3732]

Raid Japan has really good soft glide bait. It comes with a stinger treble tied to the front hook, that's the way I would do this one.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I’ll check it out

[@johnhelems721]

I would run a line up to the other hook mount.

[@MattStefanFishing]

You can

[@williamknight5142]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks!

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

I only wish Tackle Warehouse would get with the program. I'd love to support the channel, but I'm too impatient to wait 8 to 10 days for shipment. Place an order at 10 a.m. Monday morning and you don't even get the email saying they received your order until wednesday. Literally just about every other place you order from your package would be there on Wednesday. if not Thursday for sure. I'm sorry. I guess that was a little rant because I would love to, but I just can't do Tackle Warehouse. when I need something, I need it right off. My apologies. Great tip though

[@MattStefanFishing]

You just need to order sooner haha

[@maxcole3930]

I ment, do you think it could hold into baits with a 12+ lb largemouth fighting against it?

[@MattStefanFishing]

I wouldn’t boat swing it haha

[@rodneygreen9968]

Great Tip Matt. Extra strength maybe a piece of fishing line that attaches the back split ring to the front split ring.🤔👍👍👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep

[@Fishboy68]

Matt you would think for the price of baits these days you would not have to modify them in any way to make them better.These bait co.spend so much time on making and testing these baits you would think they would be good to go.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Everyone has different preferences

[@TheREELBassic_DaD]

Got the chance to meet Keith today at the Covered Wagon. He snuck in for a cleanup before practice. 💇‍♂️ 💈 Good luck out there Matt. be safe,it’ll be a windy one.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome

[@mikeeller557]

Thanks Matt , Scary . Remind me : What colors for tannic water ?

[@MattStefanFishing]

Purple and black n blue

[@maxcole3930]

I've been throwing the 9" nessys for largemouth. My only concern about the connection of that stinger is. What if you hooked into a fish of a lifetime like a teener. I would be worried shea may be able to pull it loose? It obviously works if you're landing 3 pounders. You think I could hold with a 12+ pounder fighting against it?

[@MattStefanFishing]

You could connect. Stinger line to it

[@astrophysicistguy]

Hmmmm ... it does seem a bit too risky, at least for how I use them. I fish big swim baits all the time given where I fish because of the population of giant trophy largemouths available and the Nessie is extreme.y effective, right up there with the Magdraft but there are no smallmouth or spots here. I don't think I'm willing to risk hooking that fish of a lifetime and then have the stinger pull out. As I'm sure you are well aware, once bass get around 7 lbs and up the amount of pressure they can put on the line is extraordinary ...

[@MattStefanFishing]

You can tie a leader line to it to reinforce

[@astrophysicistguy]

@@MattStefanFishing yeah I know but I fish this around vegetation almost exclusively since this is the only cover where i fish and I need to keep it as weedless as possible. Also I'm a little afraid of another treble hook doing some damage to a big fish. Let's see if I can come up with a couple of more excuses as well ... lol. Also I typically don't see short strikes, they either crush it or just follow it, in which case a throw a follow up bait since I know know she's there

[@livewire2k4]

what the hell where you smoking when you made this video. its April 26th , not April 1st!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Just try it

[@mischievousfish151]

I’ve been added a barrel swivel and then putting the barrel swivel into the hook hanger so the front hook dangles. Much better hook up ratio. I’m going to try this tomorrow

[@MattStefanFishing]

Good rip

[@billybooth3237]

Sounds like a recipe for disaster matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

That’s what i thought but it’s help up

[@bpriceless420]

Lol that'll never stay in there if a fish jus hits the rear part man. The parks in th bait are for nail weights, I hope no one fail for this and destroyed their bait

[@MattStefanFishing]

Don’t try it then but i know a touring pro that has won a lot of money on this tip. It screws thru the mesh material on the inside
