What’s the difference between 30, 60, and 90 degree swimbait jighead line tie angles?

I get asked all of the time what the difference is between line tie angles for swimbait jig heads. I’ll explain the differences so you know how it affects your swimbait performance and can choose the correct hook for the fishing conditions your in.

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 six MLF Championships and won roughly a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.

Your channel is my favorite fishing channel just because of content and the fact you are real, you understand that not everyone can afford expensive equipment and that not everyone fish from a boat and it covers everything Thanks buddy we really appreciate you!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@pensnut08]

The 90 degree... That explains why it works so great when I throw it out and let it pendulum back towards the boat while I reel VERY slowly... Now my brain is working OT on what I need to get after deer season! Great video and explanation!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Nice!

[@johncloud2851]

Thank you for clearing this subject up.

[@jesseleehudson1141]

I've been needing a better understanding of this. Thank you

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad I could help!

[@jihohan6677]

An excellent video! I've started fishing about 2 years ago and I had no idea why all these jig heads had eyes in different places. And now I know thanks to you.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks! This is one of my favorite videos I have done.

[@jonathanlounsbury6082]

Taught me something I didn't know, your videos are awesome.

Great video Matt. Priceless info for the weekend warrior fishermen out there

[@MattStefanFishing]

Just trying to help everyone catch more fish

[@tfermefishing]

Very good explanation, thank you!

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks!

[@robertveith2571]

For small grubs I like the Arkie turbo heads they have less drag in the water I use the Walleyes here in West Virginia in the West Fork River

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for sharing!

[@josephhrnciar9376]

Awesome info as always Matt. Even the you explain stuff is just so easy to understand and informative. Just got you guppy heads this week, looking forward to trying them. Thanks for sharing and your videos!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad it makes sense! Good luck with the guppy heads!

[@martinallison8719]

GREAT topic Matt! Thanks!

[@MattStefanFishing]

No problem!

[@johndeluca1614]

Thanks! Great explanation. Very Clear.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidhidalgo5662]

Honestly always wondered about this. I have been using the Matt Allen heads for years and absolutely love them. I just picked up some of your heads and now know when to use them specifically. Thank you for all the great information.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Both are great swimbait heads! Thanks for your comment!

[@ThatGuy-hj4xj]

Great video. I’ve been getting all my guppy heads stuck. They are very affective. Just snag a lot. I’ll be try the 90 degree heads. Hope that minimizes my snags.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, makes sense.

[@scottvermonter920]

Thank you Matt great info! Maybe it will stop snowing here in vermont to really get to fishing!lol

[@MattStefanFishing]

Oh man don’t say that four letter word! I hate that white stuff

[@pj3p488]

I can't say enough about the Matt Allen head. I fish a lake with peppergrass and it swims through it really well. NetBait Little Spanky cut off at the eyes works extremely well with the keeper. This combo has put more than 500 bass in the boat this year.

[@MattStefanFishing]

The matt Allen head is great! I’ll have to try the netbait head

[@tommybounds3220]

Thank you for the video

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@danielpayne7759]

Thank you. That makes sense i never really thought about that before but I will now.

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks!

[@edpelkey7798]

Great info Matt 👍 I do love your guppy heads I go down to the 3.3 Keitech can fish on a 3/8 oz, Matt Allen’s head works well to, thanks for the tip on the Scottsboro. I also like to use the Keitech (90 degree) ball jig for an even more finessy approach. I like the easy shiner 3” size.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Good info!

[@Roboworm99]

Great info

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks!

[@tommybounds3220]

I won an Abu Garcia spinning reel in Matt's 20 thousand subscribers give away. It is probably the best reel that I have. His give aways are (reel) .

[@MattStefanFishing]

Nice!

[@memikecraig]

I watched your video on the Damiki Rig last night and was wondering what the differences between your sig. Dirty Jigs and the Matt Allen one on my way home from work this morning. Now I get in to work tonight and see this video pop up. We must be on the same brain wave or something. Great video. Thanks!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Haha! That’s great! I’m glad it was helpful and thanks for watching!

[@shawnmohler2363]

Great information. I try to watch all of your videos. Used your name as a reference when I ordered a Mudhole catalog. I hope that was ok?

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yes sir! Thanks for the shoutout!

[@john6649]

What about ewg vs straight shank... don’t know if you’ve already done a video or not but saw one the other day about ewg and how they are better vs a straight shank ... what do you think ?

[@MattStefanFishing]

I did this video on it and think there’s a time and place for each kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4vHgYloibiZh7M

[@daniellew5780]

Wish I would have known this 1000 jigheads ago.....

[@deckmonkey1459]

For sure, I've only used 90 degrees for the last 40 years and lost a fortune trolling and casting around cover. I built a lure retriever rod the other day to try and save some of those as well. This guy is pretty much making me money with his videos.

[@MattStefanFishing]

🤦‍♂️that’s a lot of jigheads
