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.

Bravo Matt. The most common sense tip on spinnerbaits I ever heard!

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

thanks!

@darrellgrant7615 Год назад

Spinnerbaits and Rat-L-Traps were the first 2 lures I went hardcore on as a kid. Bought as many as my paper route funds would allow 😆. Blue Fox willow leaf and Hank Parker Indiana leaf spinerbaits. I loved that double leg trailer that came on the Hank Parker baits.

@MattStefanFishing Год назад

Nice!

@marcrobinson5498 2 года назад

Hey Matt, I really like the comment you made towards the end of the video about not using a trailer hook. My dad was making spinnerbaits back in the 60s before I was born, so I literally have been making them my whole life....most kids got toys, I got fishing lures. I have never used or needed to use trailer hooks ever..... common denominator of the need for a trailer hook is point blank, something is wrong with your bait......I have heard so many people have this debate and I laugh every time because usually they tie on some sort of a willow leaf shad pattern bait and never change it trip after trip after trip until it breaks or they lose it.....if it doesn't work today or they miss fish on it they never adjust and just use a different bait.......a closed mind equals a rod that rarely bends. Your work bench looks like mine. I appreciate and can relate to the hours you put in to all the Tweeks on your baits and techniques......keep them coming

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

thanks for the support! Ive never felt like trailer hooks help. In theory they sound great, on the water I question them all of the time.

@vincentlivoti4184 Год назад

Hi Matt I've been using those split tail trailers for years. Used to use the Cabela's brand. Ever since I watched Hank Parker win the classic on his Mann's spinnerbait. Hank used to use a very similar trailer. For a period of time. I did not use those trailers. I do recall maybe I didn't catch as many fish. Although I always ran a cheater hook whenever possible on my spinnerbaits taking that lesson from KVD. I started using those trailers again. I agree about the boottail trailers and such. Up here in New York where I fish most of the reservoirs are crystal clear. You can see easily 20 to 30 ft down. I try and keep my spinnerbaits. Very natural looking and compact because I feel I get more bites.

@allenpelts1809 2 года назад

It also adds scent. That’s also what I look at. Sight, sound, scent. That’s how the fish can find your bait. Now that I seen you also use it. I feel like I was on the right track all this time. Why I look at trailer keepers and their style when I’m looking at baits I buy. A wire style is still my favorite. But not all are created equal. Thanks Matt for making me aware of the bulk part for the fish to inhale. That never occurred to me. Great information.

@stinkyfish6175 2 года назад

Wow! Pretty enlightening video. I used to always throw spinnerbaits with trailers and trailer hooks, then over the years noticed that I almost always caught them on the main hook while the trailer hook gaffed the fish on the side. So in the last 3-4 years I've stopped using trailer hooks and actually think I catch more fish now, and they hammer it. I sometimes use an Uncle Rob's trailer, and sometimes nothing. I'm not sure if I catch more or less with or without, but I do like the subtle look of that senko tip. I like the bulk it gives, and might even go a little shorter. Thanks for all the tips you provide us, very intuitive. Hey, you probably should have named your program that.

This is really interesting. You don’t use boot tails and hear I am running spinnerbaits with ONLY a swimbait and no skirt. Or a Shad color curly tail grub with a red fish jig spinner attached, like a scaled up beetle spin. Sounds crazy but I caught so many 4-5s out of our 7 acre pond as a kid on them that I’ve started using it again, and it definitely catches numbers. Awesome video, definitely going to try this on my standard spinnerbaits

That zoom trailer that you showed is one of my trailers & I like the fat Albert white or chartreuse in both trailers, but that half general I can see how it would work also, I think also the same trailers would be great for chatter baits, I'm learning a lot about this, I've been wanting my chatter bait to run deeper & I figured by using these small worm like trailers & lighter line I should get the bait to run deeper, but I won't be able to go fishing for at 2 months cause I broke my left wrist, bummer!

@shanescott3168 2 года назад

Good idea. I've started experimenting with trailers on spinnerbaits and am looking for the right one. I understand and agree with your reasoning about adding bulk. Wouldn't a little action from a trailer be a potential benefit if it didn't interfere with the blades or skirt? Seems like the Zoom Split Tail Trailers would be ideal. I think lots of people trim up their skirts a bit and the action of the trailer is farther behind the skirt.

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

Trailers can be positive or negative in some situations IMO

@stevoky 2 года назад

The only thing those old trailers were good for was adding a different color to your spinnerbait. I use to dye them red because I could never find red. But the bulk does make some sense, had never thought about it though.

The split tail trailer is my number one trailer I use on all my spinnerbates, buzz Bates, And vibrating jigs. I never have to use a trailer hook.. I don't like the long strands of skirt on my Baits.. I will also use a color which offsets some of the color in my spinnerbait skirts To give the Bates more attraction. There is a color in between the white and yellow that I use the most. It is lime colored.. If it's not broke don't fix it.

@stoneysdead689 2 года назад

I use trailers but I always assumed the issue was that when they get up close to a spinnerbait- there's nothing that really looks like a minnow there to hit. So, I think a lot of the time they hit the blades- that's what attracted them and it's the closest thing to a minnow when they get there to actually hit. But if you add a trailer- now there's a target that looks like something to eat- so they hit it. Probably not right- probably the suction thing like you pointed out but- either way, they work.

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

i guess we wont ever know until bass can talk haha

@Jason_Emry_Fishing 2 года назад

The plastic chunk or small stick worm on the spinnerbait allows the bass to inhale the bait with ease versus not allowing the bass to inhale a broken up skirt. Vacuum effort. Try vacuuming a ball full of holes then vacuum up a ball that is solid. The one with holes is harder to pick up with the vacuum. The solid one is picked up with ease. This vacuum effect is what the bass are doing when they hit the spinnerbait or buzzbait!

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

thats a great analogy thanks for sharing!

@rickvann3489 2 года назад

Matt if I may add this to the split tail I have left over what they call Dardanelle yellow special and out of the white. I added them to contrast skirts or match skirts. But here is the main reason the split tail is better is when you add a floating trailer hook. By that I mean and maybe you can show this is the trailer hook has a big eyelet to slide over the barb and then a using the rubber band that they use for skirts and put it on and this allows for a floating trailer hook that doesn't snag and I use them 95% of the time. Also adds bulk as you said and helps keep spinner bait up in weeds a little better.

I like to experiment alot but I probably run a powerbait grub or zoom fat Albert 90% of the time as a trailer on spinnrbaits and on swimjigs too. I like being able to mix and make more complex colors by adding a trailer, I rarely match color of bait and trailer exact. Also scent if I'm running Berkeley grubs which I prefer. Deffinatly going to try what you talked about this spring though too, and it'll be nice to have a use for my trailer even after it gets its tail bit off haha also ive never used one of those actual split tail spinnerbait trailers for the same reasons you mentioned, but I might have to pick up a pack if I see them somewhere now.

Hey Matt, as far as color, are you generally matching the skirt to the trailer? I noticed here you did.

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

generally i match or go with a closely matching color.

I like an Eerie darter for finnese or dock jigs. I wonder how they'd look on a spinnerbait?

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

pretty good!

This video caused me much thought last night on all the things I've tried over the years. Probably the worst is a clear bladed spinner bait that Roland Martin push 50yrs ago. It was short lived without a bite.

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

ill have to see if i can find that. Id be interested in seeing what it looks like.

Makes a lot of sense. What do you think about JUST using a "trailer" on a spinnerbait without a skirt, and if you do this what kind of success do you have? I've used old spinnerbaits that have lost their skirts, with nothing but an attached chunk of plastic (curly tail, creature, etc.), and have had good success with it.

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

i like swimbaits without the skirt. Ive done videos on that.

@@MattStefanFishing Now that you mention it, yes, I do recall you did do video on that! Sorry, you've got so many videos I just forgot. Thumbs up, Matt!
