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.

The Smallies near me seem to LOVE anything with purple in it. Good stuff, Matt! Duke is gonna get a kick outta this episode in the not too distant future! Lol THANKS!

@jefferyswisher6975 2 года назад

I think it's important to narrow down you color choices whenever possible. It was great that you went over why you chose each color and where you use that color. Water color, forage and what type of cover you are fishing, are the keys to making the right choice.

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

Agreed

@philbass2553 2 года назад

Nice! Thank you Matt. Don’t use swim jigs much, but I will now!! Fish on!

@normanham6142 2 года назад

I liked that you included the black/blue & purple color. There’s something about a little purple in a lure that works for me in varying water colors & clarity. I have never tried a swim jig, but I’m game now. Thanks Matt! 👍🏼🎣😎

@timothyturner2165 2 года назад

The spot killer color is my favorite down here in N GA. I mainly use the finesse swim jig with a 3.5 inch keitech easy shiner trailer. I think the color is accurately named.

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

It’s a spot killer!

@lannyseals2084 2 года назад

Always appreciate a good swimjig video and one of my favorite thing to fish! Fish in my waters really hit the shad pattern, I made up some white ones with few strand's of green pumpkin and purple in the skirt and has quickly became a must have ever time I head to the water

I love & use the choice's you mentioned. On the east coast "VA & GA" I found that brown and orange late March and early April works well for what ever reason. I tie my one jigs and it was something I thought I'd try. So if your out east give it a try.

@krisgerman1302 2 года назад

Excellent video and info as always! Fishing a swim jig near me has always been a rough go but definite going to give a few of those a try and the one with purple for sure. I noticed that had a trailer with a chartreuse tail. How about a video when you dip a tail and when you don’t and what colors you use when you do? Keep up the great content! Good Luck at Sam Rayburn!

@johnnyweaver1300 2 года назад

I'm going to start using these swim jigs more, these are some great colors especially the spot killer for those spots & smallies, one time I threw a black&blue swim jig with a white swim bait trailer & got a bass, that sprayed grass looks really good, I know your on the road be careful, hope you bring home a 🏆

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

Give them a try

@19empire85 2 года назад

Great video, I mostly use lethal weapon swim jigs and they make a color called "perch" that i really like, I think its a good perch or gill color depending on the trailer. Other than that its pretty much white, white/chart, green pumpkin and black and blue. Do you not trim your weed guards? I noticed they weren't trimmed on the jigs you showed that had been fished. I trim some but softer guards I generally just leave full.

@ovechkinata 2 года назад

Hey Matt, I love how you keep giving the people what they want with these videos, I really stand behind Randy when he said you deserve the accolades of RU-vid channel of the year. I saw Wes Logan talk about how his secret is using a Green Pumpkin flash trailer on a swim jig in the fall with the shad spawn because how the flakes imitate a ball of shad and when a bass gets close enough it will try to inhale it all at once. You think there’s any truth behind that?

@richardmadden4579 2 года назад

@stoneysdead689 2 года назад

I like the dirty jigs swim jig the best but, I like 6th sense's color schemes. Well- I like Spot Killer for a shad pattern but, 6th sense has some amazing bluegill patterns man- dark water gill, Baby Bream, Bluegill fire, green pumpkin black- all really good bluegill colors. Mega Bass has the best golden shiner I've ever seen- beautiful color scheme. But as far as the jig goes and the quality of build and all that- Dirty Jigs wins it hands down. I need to buy their jigs and then get some skirt materials and build my own bluegill patterns.

@robertchadwick1552 2 года назад

This was good. This is the year I want to learn to fish with skirted jigs. What sizes do you recommend? Can you do a video on how you fish them? Thanks for all your help.

@patrickmahoney3479 2 года назад

It amazes me sometimes how well swim jigs produce fish. I have been catching them well in very heavily pressured lakes and I can't really figure out why.

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

they can be awesome!

@MapleNutDesigns 2 года назад

Matt, just wondering when tying jigs (flipping/casting), how many strips of rubber do you use? Or more specifically, how many STRANDS do you want on a jig? And, when tying a two tone jig like black/blue, how many strands of the accent color vs. the main color do you prefer? Thanks and keep up the awesome info!

@MattStefanFishing 2 года назад

i usually use two full tabs of skirt material per jig. Ill use just 3 or 4 strands of accent color

@wolverinex4243 2 года назад

Bass fishing logic says the Tacticool Shad is the best color. I myself used to think so too. Not no more. True bass fishers know the best color is a variation of this. Not going to go through my selections but gonna have to disagree with many of these. As far as low light in depth or dark water, black and blue is correct. That's the color that will be seen best. Keep in mind I don't fish swim jigs. I do swim jigs tho.
