Hot Pink is absolutely THE MOST UNDERRATED BASS FISHING COLOR!!! With Morning Dawn kicking so much butt, I'm not sure why more anglers aren't more aware of HOW AWESOME HOT PINK IS!!!
Wow, it's been a good while for a local lures episode. These are always fun! Your nephew's lures are really cool looking! I've seen somebody do a plopper-style bait on a 3D printer, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if that was the future of bait making. And I've actually take to rigging a Berkely PowerStinger on the 3/64 oz hover rig and, well, it's catching fish (just like pretty much everything on the hover rig!).
That Buzzbait sure has my attention and I am definitely going to go check them out, one of my fav baits for sure!!! What your Nephew is doing has peaked my interest, I think he might be on to something with his printer, maybe part of the Core Tackle Co… we shall see!!!
Thanks So Much , Matt for doing this Video on Locally Made Lures !!! There are MANY OUTSTANDING SMALL LURE MAKERS in this country who produce High Quality, Well Made Baits that Really Excell on the local area lakes around them and also work well in other parts of the country too !! Please let us know How Well your Nephew's 3D Printed Baits work out when you have the opportunity to Test them out !!
I stopped in for some crappie minnows at my LBS and I always look at what he's got. I FINALLY found some tail spin lures that run true and spin that weren't $$$$. Next time I'm in I'll be getting some soft plastics he carries from another maker. Great video and a great reminder to always look around for the local baits.
This video reminded me of a local bait shop in Shasta Lake, Ca. Called Phil’s Propeller. They’re a prop shop mainly. They sell a local jig with live rubber that’s a killer on the Shasta spotted bass. You were looking for some different jigs a couple weeks ago. What I remember about those jigs is they had a unique head shape, almost like a small flat cross. A local old timer turned me on to them and stated he liked them because he could reel them across the bottom. It’s been years since I have been there but I know that jig was a mainstay on Shasta and Orville.
For a degenerate tackle junky like myself, this video was HEAVEN. Thank you! And that's so cool what your cousin Jack is doing. These kid's are going to do some amazing innovative things with lures IMO.
I always ck out local bait shops, In New York by Black Lake. I found soft plastic crayfish with a SUPER garlicy sent. You could NOT touch then with bare hands. They caught them. Thanks Matt
Great video! Clark Hill is my home lake, but I wasn't aware of these companies. I do love a nice squeaky buzzbait so I'm going to add a few of these to my collection.
Nephew Jack sounds like he's onto something. Kinda crazy thinking about downloading files and printing my own baits to your own colors and sizes. Pretty trippy stuff 🤯
Hi Matt, I like the local bait vids and look forward to seeing more. It also supports the local guys who make stuff which is good. For a future video idea, any chance you could make a video on how you approach muddy water or windy days? I usually just take the kayak out to a lake in calm days and never fish after a rain, but would like to try and fish the muddy and windy days this year. Spring brings a lot of rain and fluctuating pressures and I don't want to stay home just b/c the lake is muddy. thanks!
In the 90s I fished club tournaments and the running joke was always the bubble gum buzz bait when guys didn't want to say what bait they were throwing. 😎✌️
Matt Stefan Fishing Greenfish is actually in Grovetown Georgia and is very local. Great guy that runs and owns it. You should have bought some, you wouldn’t be disappointed.
Matt - imagine being at an expo and offering those 3d printed lures for sale and selling out or even an angler at a tourney that had a lure that was "close" to working... You go back to your computer, print them off or make an adjustment... That is really awesome!
Local made lures are almost always higher in quality, provide the most value while still being affordable, proven designs and patterns, and proudly made in the USA!
I can definitely see a future where anglers buy their lures as 3D-print kits, where you get the design file, plastic filaments, and other components which you can then print yourself, or modify the design yourself and then print.
Excited to see a vid hopefully with the bait hooked up to a hover. That could definitely be a killer. Gonna be trying a Ned/ Zman with the hover as soon as the ice finally melts.
Lionel makes awesome Buzz baits, Spinner baits, and Jigs. His shop is at his house you can go in place an order and he ties your baits while you watch. A secret little spot for sure! Im pretty sure you got yours at Ridge rd right down from Wildwood. I hope you got a burger there its one of my stops almost every weekend when Im leaving the Hill.
The MOAB buzzbait is made down the road from me. It's not something stores would have in stock, but they work and they are loud as heck. Great nighttime lure.
Dynamite video Matt! I was killing them yesterday on a buzz bait. I need up snapping off my Jamaica boa and only thing I had left on me as a cheap ass strike king buzzer in blue and chanteuse and it ended up catching 6 bass in about 1 hr. Lol I guess this time of year in south west Florida they will eat everything and anything.
Were you on SC side or GA side? I know on SC side has the herring hut, but it's mostly live bait. That's where all striper guys go for herring & gizzard shad. They go out catch all bait off the lake at night, then sell it. They had multiple massive tanks for all different sizes. They don't have a lot of tackle. I've only been down here year n half. I haven't stopped to many small bait shops myself. I head straight to my fishing areas, or explore new launch locations
Lionel Hollingsworth and Why-not have been making quality baits around the Hill for around 30 years. If you can't get them, let me know , I'll send send them to you. You are right, not a decent tackle shop around the Hill or Augusta. An avid derby fisherman just opened one this past Friday, Hadden's. About a 1/4 mile from the entrance to Wildwood Park. 9.38 won the Big Bass trail this past weekend, he won a New Nitro. If my 2.58 would have just weighed 7 more pounds.😂
Wow what a buzz bait if that thing work you'll definitely need to let us know. As for the y notes plastics I think that would be a killer on your hoover rig and in other colors
My father in law bought a 3d printer for work. He's been playing with it. The material costs to make plastic or polymer items is extremely inexspemsive! That stuff u have probably cost less than 25 cents. It's getting the printer is what's is very expensive. Then u have find CAD software or draw the item up yourself. The 3d printers are super cool
There is a few guys 3d printing swimbaits seen them on swimbait universe a few times its def interesting and those resin printers really can print some nice stuff. A lot of these smaller garage swimbait guys get there molds 3d resin printed to refine them but. I'm sure those resin molds would work as well.
Hey Matt sometime you want to see some good plastic baits River Rock fishing lures made in Waynesboro Virginia he has a wide variety of products let me know what you think thanks
I’ve had an order with them for 3 months now and can’t seem to get him to fulfill the order. I’ve talked to him numerous times and keep being told “They are going out next week.”
Printing lures is not viable unless you want specifics. It's just not the machine that is time consuming. The design process is harder than you'd think unless you already have a copy of the file. Then you'd have to seal the lures by hand...only way is by epoxy or top coat. Why? B/C you need internal chambers for weights. Therefore, it cannot be the future. It's like saying doing Marlin Baits crafting is the future. Yes, and no on that. Like anyone can build them, do they have the tools, creativity, and or skills?
I grew up with Ynot (Tony), probably 30 years ago we caught blue backs, small bluegills, shiners and several lizards and he handmade single molds for the originals. I even drew his original label.
Hand tie most of my flys! When not fishing. Nothing feels better than fooling a fish with a piece of your artwork!
agreed!
Hot Pink is absolutely THE MOST UNDERRATED BASS FISHING COLOR!!! With Morning Dawn kicking so much butt, I'm not sure why more anglers aren't more aware of HOW AWESOME HOT PINK IS!!!

ive had several people now mention the power stinger on a hover rig! im definitely trying that!
Bass Geeks' small company lure videos are awesome. Some of them lure designs I have had envisioned and drawn up. Very cool.
ill check them out
Matt, your nephew is a lucky kid. It must be great for you knowing he is also making you proud.
im super proud of him!
Pink buzzbait is way too cool! 3d printed lures will be a game changer. Glad to see some small companies getting love.
yep!
That looks awesome on the hover rig. I can’t wait to get my hover rigs. Good job Jake on finding what you like to do.
thanks!

Mr. Lionel Is one of the bet in the market. I had the opportunity to visit his little shop at his home.
very cool!
Sounds like an old school lunker lure buzzbait, my all time favorite buzzbait
lunker lure
I stopped in for some crappie minnows at my LBS and I always look at what he's got. I FINALLY found some tail spin lures that run true and spin that weren't $$$$.

This was my favorite episode so far, this is what the sport is all about. I'm going to watch your other local lures episodes next.
Nice! glad you liked it!
Really would like to see more episodes like this I love those homemade lures!
ive done a bunch in the past. search local lures
I always ck out local bait shops, In New York by Black Lake. I found soft plastic crayfish with a SUPER garlicy sent. You could NOT touch then with bare hands. They caught them. Thanks Matt
i love a good garlic bait!
Flat out always support local shops, and people who are passionate about the sport !
agreed!
I love this series. Thanks, Matt!
Glad you enjoy it!

they are great baits. I just meant they are to big to be on local lures now that they are a national brand
I’m a musky fisherman so there’s a lot of garage bait makers they are my favourite baits to shop for
so many cool musky baits out there!
Bravo to Jack. Around here, they make ghost guns and then get into trouble.
bummer
Matt - imagine being at an expo and offering those 3d printed lures for sale and selling out or even an angler at a tourney that had a lure that was "close" to working... You go back to your computer, print them off or make an adjustment... That is really awesome!
thats exactly what we are doing togethor. he keeps making minor changes to something that works great!
@@MattStefanFishing Keep us posted sir, I'm excited to see how huge this becomes!
Thanks for sharing ... 🐟🐟
you bet!
Love these episodes!
me too!
Mike Swofford Great video . I like the idea of checking out for more local company
Right on
Local made lures are almost always higher in quality, provide the most value while still being affordable, proven designs and patterns, and proudly made in the USA!
I love custom made lures!
I can definitely see a future where anglers buy their lures as 3D-print kits, where you get the design file, plastic filaments, and other components which you can then print yourself, or modify the design yourself and then print.
its probably coming soon!
Bill Lewis lures put out a three d printed stutter step top water walking bait a couple years ago
awesome!
Excited to see a vid hopefully with the bait hooked up to a hover. That could definitely be a killer. Gonna be trying a Ned/ Zman with the hover as soon as the ice finally melts.
yes sir!

I wish I had gotten a burger. I saw one as I was leaving and it looked great!
The MOAB buzzbait is made down the road from me. It's not something stores would have in stock, but they work and they are loud as heck. Great nighttime lure.
Thanks for the info!
This is a pretty good show theme. Please do a follow up after you fish them.
will do. If you search Local Lures on my channel you will find several more episodes
Love the neon pink..
me too!
As good as the methiolate floating worm works, a buzz bait that color might be a killer
i cant wait to use it!
With all that tackle hanging behind you, your wife must really love you! lol..all kidding aside I really like the local tackle video's.
You got that right!
I'm not familiar with these vids but really cool to see you doing on on my home lake!
thanks!
I need to get me one of those 3d printers. Looks like fun. It beats melting soft plastics together lol
its pretty cool!
Dynamite video Matt!

🍺Thanks Matt. Speaking of baits. How can I get some Berkley Cull Shad’s?
ill let you know when i get some...I wish I had them as well

well done
Great video Matt. Lionel at Tru Trac Lures is a great guy. Also, it’s Grovetown, not Groverton. 😄Take care!
thanks for the correction
Wow what a buzz bait if that thing work you'll definitely need to let us know. As for the y notes plastics I think that would be a killer on your hoover rig and in other colors
agreed!
I guess I'll try to contact them tomorrow because they don't show this all pink buzz bait at all on the web site.
im sure if you contact them they can make it
My father in law bought a 3d printer for work. He's been playing with it. The material costs to make plastic or polymer items is extremely inexspemsive! That stuff u have probably cost less than 25 cents. It's getting the printer is what's is very expensive. Then u have find CAD software or draw the item up yourself. The 3d printers are super cool
i was very impressed with my nephews abilities on it!

Being a Wisconsin fella like myself. Have you ever checked out Raw Bass Custom lures? I think the guy is out of Fox Lake, killer stuff.
nope never heard of them. ill check them out
Truetrac is great I use alot of his stuff
How long have they been making baits? I'm going to order some now too.
The quality is great!
Hello Matt, I have been making baits for the last 15 yrs and was wondering what's the best way to send you a few to try?
reach out to me on my website or social media pages
Greenfish says their address is in Augusta, but looking at the map, the address it appears to be between Martinez and Evans, GA.
interesting
On the y-knots bait, nose hook it on a skirted buzzbait like you would a jig trailer or pork trailer. Your welcome...
thank you!
Hey Matt sometime you want to see some good plastic baits River Rock fishing lures made in Waynesboro Virginia he has a wide variety of products let me know what you think thanks
I’ll check them out
There are 5 inch slim Cinco is a Bass Catcher
Extremely new to fishing, got a minnow lure you think I’d catch something in Clark’s hill on a summer day partly cloudy?
Keitech switched by impact fat swimbait
Used a minnow lure today pretty small. Water was pretty clear and had a gar tried snappin it couple times but none successful
@@MattStefanFishing I’ll try it out thank you
Trutraclures does not have a website that shows their products?????
bummer
I just bought some pink frogs,but the only place I can find a pink swim jig is 911 Custom Lures unless a yone knows another place
interesting
They make a spinnerbait in that color also, I hope they make swim jigs in that color
im not sure if they do or dont
Mr Hollingsworth is trying to get in touch with you Matt.
sounds good
I’ve had an order with them for 3 months now and can’t seem to get him to fulfill the order. I’ve talked to him numerous times and keep being told “They are going out next week.”
👍👍👍
thanks for watching!
Let us know if you catch fish on it please!
will do!

thanks for sharing based on what my nephew showed me adding internal weights and rattles is a simple process
Lol how much money are they paying you? Laying it on pretty thick there buddy.
nothing. i have never met them before.
I’m just talking trash. Great channel. I watch every video.
But I still suck
Keep it up.
You can skip the into. Starts at 4 minutes. ..
the first four minutes are the best
@@MattStefanFishing 👍
I grew up with Ynot (Tony), probably 30 years ago we caught blue backs, small bluegills, shiners and several lizards and he handmade single molds for the originals. I even drew his original label.
Lionel hand ties his skirts and custom blends mine specifically for Clark's Hill, he will do the same for any customer.
Very cool!
My comments aren't showing up
thats weird
@Matt Stefan Fishing apparently there's a length limit, I was just saying I grew up with both Ynot and Lionel fishing and product testing...
As good as the methiolate floating worm works, a buzz bait that color might be a killer
