This Is The PERFECT Swim Jig!!! New Core Tackle Product!!!

[@douglasspickler4925]

In watching you fish, I have this comment. I'm sure the jig is great, but in my opinion, your swim jig success is you. Your casting, pitching, and skipping the bait into key spots is the deal. Great job, and thanks for sharing the video.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Haha thanks lots of practice

[@johndynneson662]

Use. That color. It’s a good one. Hank !!!😀😀

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep

[@rvfishingyet]

Fun watching you place that jig wherever and at whatever angle. Like you have said on the channel, accuracy and putting the bait on the X is so key. Likely its all Hanks’ skirt of course…. Thanks for the channel Matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

Right on

[@glennboone7832]

Cool! Will there be unpainted without skirts available for purchase so I can tinker around? I will also buy some ready to go 👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

maybe in the future

[@siryarwammowray3445]

Need a couple of them when they come out 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MattStefanFishing]

they are on the website now

[@johndynneson662]

Hank knows his colors.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep

[@zevoutdoors7194]

Any idea when these will be available in TW?

[@MattStefanFishing]

just on the website for now

[@miketurenne7204]

I just put in my Core tackle order for $100 I'm in trouble now but I needed the swimjigs.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@farrzmd3038]

That must be a great feeling to have that jig come together like that. It’s a good looking jig and that 2/0 hook option is great to see. The 2/0 would be great for the Little Dipper I would think. I’ll be ordering some for sure.

[@MattStefanFishing]

yep

[@jerodmarlow9422]

Will you have hats available again? Carpet decal would be cool too. I’ve tried the hover rig, TUSH, and Ozark so far. Love them all.

[@MattStefanFishing]

i expect hats soon

[@raybrenneman7240]

I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to place my order by touching your more link from this video directly to core tackle so I can use them by mid May. Thanks Matt. Ordered 16 of them

[@MattStefanFishing]

Holy cow! Thank you! I hope you enjoy!

[@mikewelter180]

I just purchased a hand full of the 3/8oz. I really like the way they move in the water and the way they skipped.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Me too!

[@wendellsuiter7869]

skinny dipper great trailer also thanks for the new swim jig and the wacky shot as well. Great color for the skirt Hank!

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

Been waiting for the drop :) got 4 to try!

[@MattStefanFishing]

awesome!

[@tylarcole3828]

Just ordered a a few of all the colors. This checks the boxes I’ve been searching for in a swim jig!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome

[@xxPigpen]

Hey, Matt. I was wondering if you could put 2 wires in for the weed guard? Then I could spread it slightly, which helps In the thick grass I usually fish.

[@MattStefanFishing]

maybe in the future

[@peterhing3608]

Great video Matt and a very good looking swim jig! I really hope a local specialty tackle shop I go to here in Ontario Canada brings them in as he brought your swimbait hook and the hover rig hooks in. They were expensive being the F/X and all but I had to get them based on aeeing you use them and the success you have with them. The chain of lakes I fish are very similar to your water and I plan on using a swim jig a lot this year! Thanks again and crossing my fingers I can gdt my hands on a couple of your swim jigs this summer!

[@MattStefanFishing]

right now just on the website

[@craigmiller3648]

The wobble is great, would love to see a 1/2 and 3/4 oz option

[@MattStefanFishing]

could be in the future

[@richardhenry6794]

I just ordered 6 of them in 1/4 oz I love that it is a smaller than most other swim baits I have always felt Bates need to be just a little smaller for Michigan

[@MattStefanFishing]

awesome

[@romaloboda2280]

Thanks.

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@thekidfishing5745]

Been waiting for them to drop just made an order of them plus other. Have you thought about a weedless tush or wacky. You have changed my fishing and it is so much better now. Thank you

[@MattStefanFishing]

we have a weedless tush in the works

[@itllkeal]

I finally caught my 1st senko fish today and I'll say that it was almost as nice as a topwater bite. Thanks and Good luck with the rest of your year Matt.

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks!

[@JamFlexx]

Had a 2lber slurp up a senko off some mats like a topwater today. Blew up the drag, was too loose and he ran to cover n popped me off. Whacky is my go to

[@itllkeal]

@@JamFlexx that hurts doesn't it but we learn to be ready. I picked up 2 higher retrieve reels this year after having the biggest spotted bass of my life charge at me and shake off within 12 ft of me because I couldn't get the slack out of my line fast enough. Now I have to learn to slow down my retrieve. Better luck next time.

[@davehuggins5777]

Thanks for getting it on the water for us!

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@timbarthel7232]

For river smallmouth fishing, do you recommend going with the 2/0 or 4/0 hooks on the core tackle swim jigs? Looking to order a couple

[@MattStefanFishing]

4/0 is a standard size

[@richthompson3326]

Looks great, when are these going to be available Matt? Good luck at Eufala man, rooting for ya!

[@richardporter1455]

Looking forward to getting my hands on some of these. My home lake is rocky with sparse grass on the flats and points. Lake gets a ton of pressure and I think even a standard finesse swim jig is overpowering. I haven't been let down by core tackle yet! Keep it coming Matt. Thanks

[@MattStefanFishing]

Sounds great!

[@mikeeller557]

Thanks Matt Looks Good

[@MattStefanFishing]

Is that wire gonna break off eventually?

ive caught a pile of fish and still not broken one

[@rodneygreen9968]

Thanks Matt for sharing your new bait. I hope that the Swim Jigs are available without the Skirts so that people can add their own colors. I'll look for the Jigs on the Core Tackle website.

[@MattStefanFishing]

We might do that in the future

[@sheepdad556]

Thanks for the heads up.... Got my order in.. going for the Gillty👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

Enjoy it

[@sheepdad556]

Welp, these jigs catch fish for sure. The guilty pleasure looks great in the water BTW. Gotta get some more colors now 😊. Body roll with a Zako is pretty nice. 👍

[@Randy-z2k]

Man Matt, that swim jig looks and swims great. Definitely add some to the other Core items I've gotten

Awesome!

That looks awesome! I will definitely buy the Core Tackle Hankster Swim bait. Thanks Matt! 👍

When are you using the 2/0 vs the 4/0?

in clean water or heavily pressurred water i go with 2/0

Try that Queen tackle Chatter blade on there! It gonna be special. 🍻

I am so excited. And I cannot wait, after watching the video I went right to your website and got me one of each color. Love all of your products I own all of them. Every time you come out with a new one and it's announced I have to go and grab some. The way you and Johnny keep innovating I think is going to change the fishing Market

@@MattStefanFishing I have no doubt I will. I love swim jig fishing

i noticed 3 different size for the swim jig what you take on situation where a 2/0 will be better than a 4/0 and also how a 3/8 vs 1/4 would be like? new to swim jig

the 2/0 is little go for small trailers

nice ! love skinny dipper very durable as a trailer. do you like straight braid for swimjigs too ?

I prefer straight fluorocarbon

[@willperryman4559]

Hey Matt, I can’t wait to get myself some of these Core Tackle swimjigs, and I try to buy direct from Core Tackle thinking it’s better for you guys, so maybe add the link. I use your TW link for other orders, but I’m just saying 😜👍 it’s really cool that Hank ties you skirts before school 😂😂😜👍🍀🎣🍀

[@MattStefanFishing]

Swimjigs will only be available on our site for now

[@ryancannon9358]

How stout is the hook?? Throwable on braid?

[@MattStefanFishing]

It’s a standard swim jig hook. It can be thrown on braid but I’m sure it will eventually open up

[@ryancannon9358]

@@MattStefanFishing ok, thank you! I'm gonna pick some up for sure.

[@raybrenneman7240]

Good video and I do plan to get some when available. I’m impressed with the hook up rate and it looks like it’s in the roof similar to the ozark. I fish the river by Wisconsin Rapids so please let some of those fish swim downstream 😊

[@MattStefanFishing]

Haha!

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Man I'm going to check them out right now and I hope they are on your site. I've been waiting for this day. And as I mentioned a couple times on the other videos you talked about this swim jig. I think you should offer a couple "Hank specials" colors is every time you show one of his hand tied skirts the colors are awesome

[@MattStefanFishing]

We might!

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

@@MattStefanFishing that would be awsome

[@davidgerdes1815]

My only concern is the weight on the hook shank is pretty thick, so a thinner trailer may not work

[@MattStefanFishing]

It will limit some trailers

[@dustin5462]

Just picked up some Goldilocks and the blue gill color! Great stuff.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Good choice!

[@rifleman522]

Man I wish I could cast like that.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Practice makes perfect

[@bxcloud104]

How does it do in heavy grass? Feel like the wire weedguard may grab the grass more. I'll need to try it out!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Does just fine

[@MultiXMeGa]

Last weekend, fish over here in the northeast were chasing chatterbaits and eating the magdraft for me. I was expecting the same today. Couldn't find a bite, the sun comes out. Fish were in beds, wasn't expecting and or prepared for it. Had one hover rig and paired it with a berkley gilly. Got the buck but not big momma 😂.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Things are changing fast

[@williamschneider6811]

After watching you I went on the website and bought some.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I hope you like them!

[@williamschneider6811]

@@MattStefanFishing When I went on the website it looked like the skirts had a few less strands and were a little thinner than other swim baits on the market. If that is so, then, I won’t need to thin them out myself once I get them and start using them. I already use the tush and love them. The other reason I bought them is because they are based on modifications to the tush swim bait jigs.

[@raymondbradford4086]

GAAL...DANG... I'm a believer 😌... good looking jig... no more shaking you wrist off.. 👍

Do you think you guys will sell the heads unpainted with no skirt in bulk, like the way Boss does? That'd be cool for us folks who like to paint and tie our own colors. Or will they all come painted with skirts?

It looks fantastic, but you will have to convince me on that weed guard. Even better would be texas rigged, maybe somehow like a stupid tube. Just spit balling here. Great work, I've been watching and buying. lol Can't wait till I can afford ffs because I have all the gear for sure.

[@johndynneson662]

Now🤔🤔. Is it the best you’ve found for part of adding to the action is that reaction innovation. Skinny dipper. Or is that just what you had in your boat. Because I’m constantly trying to pair up swim jig heads too body’s. Get that action.

Skinny dipper and the grass prig are the two best IMO
