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.
See Matt, Old dogs can learn new tricks. Its a great one . Thanks Matt
agreed!
Congratulations on 50,000! You should be very proud of all your accomplishments.
Thank you so much!
This is not only a lesson in basic mechanics, but a great lesson for those of us mechanically inclined but like to turn that stressed part of our brains off when fishing to relax. Thanks, Matt... it seems obvious to you, but it triggers math to be done at a desk for the rest us that really don't want to do head math while fishing and enjoying special days fishing.
No Joke! I'm embarrassed to admit this hadn't occurred to me. So obvious and something I should have thought of.
Thanks!
Tai Au is the man! jdm guys show this all the time. cultural thing? definitely hear this often with jdm plastics being soft. half the baits are reusable when torn for different techniques as well. arizona has some amazing anglers, very underrated.
very cool!
Wow great tip and no never ever have I seen that...genius
Thanks Man
Thanks!
Makes so much sense!!! I can't believe I never thought of that either!!! 😂😂😂
Right!
what a great tip. I tear up plastics all the time and this is something new to me
thanks for watching
I knew about this tip from a co angler and been using this for a long time. Wow can't believe I knew about this before you Matt but that sure doesn't make me better than you. You still have more tips and tricks than I. Thanks again
haha
Whaaa??? That makes total sense!! Well Matt you're not the only one who didn't know about tht lol, thanks for the geat tip!
nice!
very cool tip Matt!
Glad you liked it!
Genius. One of those things that after someone points it out, you cannot believe you didn’t realize it before.
agreed
Yeah, I remember doing this back in the late 90s. I learned it from watching one of Roland Martin's shows, but I don't do it often because I'm in a hurry.
Thanks!
Great tip Matt! Another thing I started doing that helps keep the trailer on is using a Wacky ring over the head of the trailer placed in front of the wire. It works great on creature type baits rigged texas rig using an offset hook as well. In that case, you place the ring in front of where the hook comes out of bait.
Great tip!
Matt great tip I will surely use. Thanks for always sharing these great tips.
You bet!
Love this channel and constant value add tips!! I'm all for saving bait cost for sure! One method I employ to lock them on a long time is... wrap the shank with unwaxed dental floss and tie a few simple knots. When you slide the bait on, put a few drops of super glue on the floss and push the bait on, giving a strong lock between the two. I cut my lead bumps off before doing the floss method, but you can decide for yourself. The smaller the bait and hook the more important my floss/glue method becomes.
Great tip!
I have used this on other things before and it works great but never thought about this on plastics. This is regreat and thanks for providing this tip to us Matt and congratulations on your win!!
Glad to help
Always giving great tips!! Thanks Matt
My pleasure!
Wow. Did not even think of it, but that makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing, and CONGRATS 🎉 on the Win.
You are so welcome!
Great tip Matt. Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks!
Another killer tip. This sure makes sense. Thanks Matt for sharing this with us. You are having an amazing year. Keep it rolling Champ.
thanks!
Thanks for sharing that tip!!! Much appreciated!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!
You bet
Thanks for sharing!
Old shakey head trick as well.
sounds good
That's a great tip! I didn't know that one. What I always do is pinch the tip of the bait and pull it up and over the keeper, then I'll press the bait up against the hook shank and sort of press it down into the keeper until the keeper or wire pokes a little bit out of the plastic. That always held the bait good and snug for me.
Also - Congrats on 50K!! I remember back when you only had about as many subs as I do, lol!
I subscribed for ya. Just cuz. Haven't checked ya out yet
@@scottvaughn9565 Thanks! I really appreciate it!
awesome!
Hey Matt. Congratulations on the W!!!!!!😜🎉🎉👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. It’s so interesting watching you prior to your win, and now watching you after your win. You are most definitely jacked now. It’s easy to see. Lol. You are definitely more amped up now in your videos. Which I think is great!!!!👍🏻👍🏻. Tell me I’m wrong. Lol. I don’t think I am. All good! Love your insight. Input. And sharing. Keep it coming!!!!!😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
interesting! i feel exhausted
Matt This was indicated to me by a great fisherman Doug Stange of InFisherman, many years ago, Still love all your videos.
Very cool!
I saw hellabass do this a while back and have been saving plastics ever since!
Thanks!
😃👍 thanks
Now I know.
I think that is the best tip I’ve heard this year!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I did not know that trick. Thanks for sharing this Matt!
You bet!
Great tip. Now we need something for flipping plastics. I go though bags on a good bite day. $20-$30 on a good day.
Great idea!!
Very slick, I’ve never seen this tip neither. Thanks 👍
Thanks!
💡Eureka!!! You've got it Matt!!! Very clever.
Do you think this is necessary with Elaztech? For Elaztech and wire keepers I slide the trailer down the hook to the keeper, then I pinch the Elaztech and pull it way up away from the hook shank as I pull the bait over the wire keeper. Then I finally squish the Elaztech down onto the wire keeper to poke the wire keeper into place.
probably not as effective with elazetech
Thanks for sharing. I had no idea.
You bet!
That’s genius! Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
I had seen this elsewhere within the last year or so. Cannot remember where. Tactical Bassin?? It is a great tip to share. Congrats on a great year!! Both tournaments and you tube!! Oh, and a great family to boot!!
Thanks!
Didnt know but it makes a lot of since . once again a great tip.
Thanks!
I never do wire keepers unless I’m using elaztech. Everything else gets a screw lock keeper tied onto the shank of the hook, even if it means clipping any existing wire keeper. My go to screw lock making tool that I use with 0.020” stainless wire is a 1/8” diameter 1.5” long Hillman tension pin (Lowe’s). I won’t put a Keitech on without a screw lock. It just works too well.
thanks for sharing!
Simple, logical, but so good ! Didn't knew it , so thanks Nick and Matt !!!
you bet!
Thats a great idea!! Thanks for the tip!
You bet!
That was news to me! Thanks for sharing!!
You bet!
This may be the best tip I have seen in a long time! Thanks for sharing! wow
Glad it was helpful!
Congratulations on reaching 50k subs, you deserve it and more.
I just saw this same tip from the Salt Strong guys. A drop of super glue will make a soft plastic stay on a jig or whatever a lot better but I don't bother unless I'm using Z Man soft plastics because the little fish steal the tails of regular plastics so they're not going to last long. Sometimes one cast is all I get before a ribbon fish cuts my jig tail.
Awesome thank you!
man...that's freaking awesome. chatter baits are my biggest confidence bait right now and I go through a ton of plastic. thanks for sharing bub.
awesome!
Good new tip. Thanks.
You bet!
Thank you, You are always trying to save us money.
Thanks!
Thanks good class
You're welcome!
Great tip, Matt I did not know that
thanks for watching
Funny you stated this trick. I learned to do this trick from watching Scott Martin videos. I thought it was an amazing trick to which I used it on wire bait keepers. Cool trick still for the masses! Thanks for sharing!!
very cool
Never thought about that. I like using baits with wire keepers. I peg my plastics with toothpicks and go through a bunch of fish before having to replace them! Got that tip from Tim at Tactical Bassin.
thanks for watching
That's really cool. Also, happy that the channel is growing.
Thanks!
I did not know about this but it's a dang solid tip, and makes perfect sense.
Thanks!
Never thought of that. Amazing.
Thanks!
Excellent tip.
Glad it was helpful!
Makes absolute perfect sense and yet I’ve never even thought about, I’ll be using that one, thanks Matt…or whoever you got it from
me neither
Great tip. I have always tried to lift over the keeper by pulling up just as I'm going over the keeper. I have torn my baits occasionally by doing it that way. I will definitely try this way. Thanks Matt.
Good luck!
Thanks for the tip Matt and I'm with Doug Spickler. Always getting my trailers misaligned and doing this without even knowing. When you're good, it's a technique. For the chuck and ducks, just another screw-up! Just noticed the 50K! Congratulations! Everything falling into place at the same time!
Thanks!
Great tip Matt. I enjoy all of your videos. Not all click baity, no drama or BS! Just well done videos and great tips!
I appreciate that!
That's a simple yet great tip thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Great tip! Makes sense
Glad it was helpful!
Great tip!! Thanks!
Thanks!
Congratulations on 50k. Well deserved ur tips and videos are the best out there

Never knew about this. Thanks for the tip
you bet
Damn. Great tip. I’m feeling dumb but happy I saw this.
Thanks!
Brilliant!! Congrats on 50k!!!!
Thank you!!
Thanks Matt- me too! I appreciate you. Someday, I'd like to meet you.

You bet!
Wow that's a really good tip! Never heard of it before but I'm gonna use it! Thanks for sharing!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Mind blown 👍👍👍 awesome tip
Glad you liked it
Brilliant! Thanks!
You bet!
Thanks for sharing this great tip. I have never heard of this before.
Glad it was helpful!
I appreciate the shoutout and love my brother! When I figured this out, I was kicking myself and could not believe it took me so long to figure it out. You can do this with a lot of different style hook keepers. Congrats on the big W again.
Thanks!
You can also push your plastic all the way up and insert a toothpick thru the plastic just in front of the barb on the keeper
thanks for sharing
I recently found out but just starting to rig them sideways didn’t work out too well 😅
Had a a duh moment here
Another thing I’ve done which you had a video on was use screw looks in your baits if you have a large enough one it will thread over the hook nicely
thanks for sharing!
never thought of that , good tip
Thanks!
Yeah solid tip thanks for the juice I will b doing this from now on
nice
Always have done that never thought much about it
cool!
🍺Thanks Matt.
you bet!
not just you
Congrats on 50k. onward to 100k!!!!
Thanks!
I always pinch the tip of the plastic and gently lift it as I pull it over the baitkeeper, then when the bait is in place I allow the plastic to rest down on the barb. Same basic idea without splitting the bait.
awesome!
Man, that tip sold me! I’m subscribing Matt!
awesome!
Makes sense! I did not know that either. Thanks for sharing.
you bet!
Nice... It makes sense and definitely something that I've never thought of.
Thanks!
All the best tips are simple and elegant... Exactly the type of thing that makes one say "Why didn't I think of that?!"
agreed
I’ve always done that with worm hooks with the front barb but never thought about it with other baits, duh! Good stuff thx man
You bet
You can use heat to repair your soft bait. A lighter or hot air gun carefully applied will repair holes and tears.
awesome!
50000!!! Let's Go!!! Congrats, and yes, I've seen the bait tip. It's a good one.
Thanks!
Great tip 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
No didn’t know that thanks will try it now
good luck!
Great tip Matt, I did not know about this but will definitely start using it. Thanks
You bet!
You had me in suspense I thought you’re going to superglue it🤓nice tip👍🏻
haha
Excellent point that makes good sense !
Thanks!
I didn't know it, but I'm glad your forwarded to your subscribers or whoever, it makes a lot sense!👍🎣
Thanks!
I got this tip from Salt Strong as well.
awesome!
Thanks. Never knew this
me neither
Doh! (a la Homer Simpson). Thanks for the tip Mr. Matt. 5:59
haha
I knew, when I first tried it was 6 years ago. I was throwing a chaterbait and had put on a rage swimmer by pulling it over the keeper and lasted 4 casts. Then I noticed I was down to my last rage swimmer and I wanted more casts out of it so threaded it on like your showed the turned it 90degrees and over the keeper . The Rage swimmer lasted me 50 casts.
awesome!
50K Subbs!?!?! HELL YEAH!!!! That’s more people than what we have in Berrien County GA!! 😂
haha
Good tip, I seen that from Tai also a year back or so, works very well
Right on
Scott Martin showed it on one of his TH-cam videos a while back.
Interesting
