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.

All those and one more for you. Looking at the surface and weather, to fish a rapala as a top water is good to. After seeing a 2" shad on the surface just quivering, I worked on this one. I call it scrubbing the top. Rapala floats high, I cast it out, let the rings spread and I'll keep my line Simi slack and shake the tip from side to side maybe 6" causing it to quiver on the surface. Pull 6"-12" and repeat. The conditions need to be right and if they want it on top, it can be a killer. Try it out!

Another short, yet informative video Matt, nice work. I have been really enjoying and picking up on the knowledge you have been dropping. One of my favorite things to do while watching your videos is seeing how I can take your knowledge and apply it to my region of fishing (live in Virginia/primary body of water is the Potomac) specifically. Great points made on using spinning tackle for jerkbaits (hard bait). I will use a bait caster when throwing a soft plastic jerkbait during scenarios where I want accuracy and feel. But, I’ve pulled hooks way too many times on fish with those sharp/thin treble hooks (as you mentioned in the video) to have confidence to throw it. I see people set hooks and then tighten their drags but I’ve found that to be inefficient. Not to say it’s a technique that shouldn’t be leveraged (there’s always scenarios, that’s why we love bass fishing). But if you think about it, the angler may be adding in an unnecessary step/element to hooking that fish if they misuse the technique(timing, under/over setting drag, having to reset the drag). I’m just talking from my own experience, specifically when talking tidal water, the drag of a spinning reel assists an angler in “naturally” fighting and tiring out a fish to land… if that makes sense. Bait caster can be more “forceful” if you aren’t paying attention. In my opinion, I think the actual design of the spinning reel and its drag system cater more towards throwing that jerkbait (hardbait)

Have been waiting for this video since you started doing these retrieve videos. Thank you for the the video on jerkbait retries, your one on crankbaits definitely help me increase my crankbait confidence and catch more fish on them. So I hope I can take what I learned from this video and do the same with jerkbait. One quick question, is there a reason you prefer to use a spinning setup versus a baitcaster setup for jerkbaits?
@MattStefanFishing

I was in Northern, MI in early May this year and I saw a smallie following my jerkbait to the boat after working the jerkbait with slow pauses. The light bulb when off in my head and I did the fast retrieve you were talking about. Caught fish on the next 2 casts. I then proceeded to catch a total of 12 fish in one 40 yard spot for the next 30 mins. There were the only fish I caught that day but they were all over 3, with a few around 4 and one over 5. Retrieves can be everything. I saw first hand what you were talking about.

I like to tie a square bill that dives say 12-15 feet, and on a second rod I tie on a Suspending Jerk Bait that runs at 5-7 feet, and I can slow walk both profiles on the surface as wake baits. So, I am working every part of the water column from the surface to the depth of my diving lure, and everything in between with just 2 lures...

That's funny you speak about that upward jerk. I do that as well, and there are days I blister fish when buddies can't buy a bite with the same bait. I snap my wrist backwards as well, as it gives the bait a different action. I fish lefty, and it just really seems to work well for me. I fish a JB year round and have for some time. I don't t make a habit of telling folks on my home lake that I use a JB year round on open water, but it works and works well. I tend to have alot more accidental walleye than most guys using the jb year round too. I also use a jb in shallow water with upward snaps the whole way fishing it like a fluke, and get bit well doing that. I think its different enough that fish aren't seeing it every time a boat goes by.

I am actually really offended that people are offended by your tittles! Lol. Since I found your channel I have learned so much, I never threw a senko now I’ve got a whole binder full and it’s been my go to work horse. Every day you give out quality information and produce great videos FOR FREE. Sure people can have opinions but when a professional angler devotes his time to help us weekend warriors how can you complain? Imo lol I do enjoy the videos of You on the water it’s nice to see a pro in his element I feel you get a better since of what you’re trying to explain.

Just had a ton of fun trying my first few casts this evening( mid augst) in our major river system. I had a massive stripper follow it to the shore and hammer it about 6 feet in front of me. My question is would using an oil or scent of some kind help to get them to commit? Great video tho! Thanx for the solid info with no fluff!

Matt, was that a St. Croix blank you built up? I'm alway curious.

I have not intentionally used an upward jerk, but I will throw that in from now on.

Rapala X-rap is the baddest boy on the block. Because it's neutrally buoyant, it can sit still. Just like a real fish. I like to think of it as a pause bait. It can cover a lot of water and stop on a dime. Once you have their attention with some of these sweet moves, just stop. You will torture those fish into biting just by being patient. Thanks for the good pointers. Things I will try this spring.

Any suggestions on a weight set up to get my perch pattern Rappala out farther? Have had limited success using 2 split shots above a black barrel swivel with a 2.5 foot leader. I've only been bass fishing for 4 months in NE Washington so I know I'm doing unconventional retrieves because I don't know any better. A long cast and straight, medium speed retrieve with 3 jerks about every 15 feet seems to be working. Sometimes
@MattStefanFishing
@MattStefanFishing Год назад
Try using lighter line to cast further. it makes a big difference. if you add to much weight the jerkbait will sink and not suspend which is usually not ideal

I used to through the jerkbait on spinning. I throw it on a megabass p5 6'3 eliminator rod now that the reel makers have a nice variety of 70 sized reels that can handle 6lb line. My experience is I get way more bites on light line.

Matt, Do you always tie on your leader line to whatever you are fishing - it seems like it when I look close to your video. When would you use a snap swivel so you can quickly change lures?

I will occasionally use a snap swivel for quick change and when using a crankbait. I generally dont with jerkbaits as i dont want to add any weight to them normally.

I like to tie a square bill that dives say 12-15 feet, and on a second rod I tie on a Suspending Jerk Bait that runs at 5-7 feet, and I can slow walk both profiles on the surface as wake baits. So, I am working every part of the water column from the surface to the depth of my diving lure, and everything in between with just 2 lures...

@MattStefanFishing Thanks, are you using those plastic hook covers? I've used the 3700 and Flambuas versions as well. It always ends up a mess due to over filling the box, I'm sure. But I've called down from the big glass boats to a tracker pro 170 and storage is an issue. Because I have a mental disorder that requires I take everything short the kitchen sink. 🤪 Even though I'll rig up 6 rods with different presentations and only actually use 2 or three once I figure out the fish.
