    OSP Blitz in Ginrin color is a killer bait.

    Great vid, as always! I’m a crank bait freak, and super addicted to buying piles of them! One thing I try to tell people on cranks is weather your throwing Rapala, Norman, Bomber or Strike king XD’s treat them like a system. AKA if it’s XD’s get 3-10, Rapala DT 6 - 16 and then you have the full gambit of depths covered. Colors for me are natural Shad’s and chartreuse patterns. Bonus I can’t talk up Cotton Cordell Big-O’s enough in all sizes again so you have the gambit covered, I have been utterly smashing bass on them for 35 years!

    I appreciate your favorites and honest truth behind them. Refreshing to watch a video that's not just all sponsored baits...or even if they are...the sincerity in which you present your information is valued by a teacher from Texas that lives for Saturday morning sunrises on the lake and days spent fishing! I fish local tournaments, always lose terribly and need some of your professional insight! Thanks for being willing to share! Your videos are appreciated!

    Matt, sorry about the skin cancer but I have to say you look great without a cap on. Anyway thanks for the xcite crankbaits. I have been looking to add some nice looking perch colored crankbaits to the arsenal and the Killer Perch from them looks amazing.

    • @MattStefanFishing
      @MattStefanFishing  ปีที่แล้ว

      they make a great crankbait and thanks for the kind words! I actually rarely wear a cap outside of fishing. my wife tells me i have good hair and should show it off

  • @k1llerdir
    @k1llerdir ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My 5 favorite crankbaits are Bill Lewis SB-57 strawberry craw, Strike King KVD HC Flat Side 1.5 Fire Craw, Dou Realis Crankbait M65 PM magic, Storm Deep Rattlin Flat Wart Orange Craw, Strike King 6xd Olive Shad.

  • @JerryMona
    @JerryMona ปีที่แล้ว +3

  • @jimgloriod1647
    @jimgloriod1647 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Matt - you mentioned small mouth on rivers. That is my passion. There is not many videos on that topic. Would like to hear more about your thoughts as we get into the spring and summer. Thank you for all of the great advice. BTW - I had MOHS a few years ago - no scar. Hope the same for you.

    • @MattStefanFishing

      thanks! ive got lots of small river smallmouth fishing if you go back through my videos and thanks for the MOHS update.

  • @LowBrowFishing
    @LowBrowFishing ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Those are all some really great baits! For me, I'd have to say that I'd have to go Red Eye Shad from Strike King for a lipless, and it's a tossup between a Wild Thang or a Square Bull for my squarebill crank. The Square Bull caught me some giants last year, but so far my craw-patterned Wild Thang has been tearing them up in the early pre-spawn.

  • @TheFishCatcher
    @TheFishCatcher ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'd also say that the OSP Blitz and tiny blitz are killers as well as lucky craft LC series especially 0.5 and 0.3 for bfs

  • @SammysBaits
    @SammysBaits ปีที่แล้ว

    I love the Duo Realis baits. One thing I really like about them is they don't create a bunch of drag when you are retrieving them. They come through the water like silk, if that's a thing.

    I just ordered the money Badgers. I've read and heard a lot of good things. I've heard them compared to a wiggle wart. Having that bait have a slow rise was a great idea. The berkley frittside have that kind of slow rise to them. And I've caught a ton of fish on the berkley frittside 5 and the frittside 5 Jr. I'm super excited for the new money badger. I did order some of the small ones. It would be interesting to hear your opinion on the shallowest running version of the bait. I'm going to throw it on the BFS.

    Good info! A few of these I haven't even heard of before. Wondering if you would consider doing a video on how bass use submerged foundations and how to properly approach and fish them. I've heard they are great fish holders and have never had a bite on them. I'm convinced it's me and my approach. 🤔😳 Thanks Matt for all the great content.

    I just got one of the Berklee crankbaits that's small but dives pretty deep. I'm going to try it and a few others on rainbow bass in Costa Rica then in the saltwater. I wish I knew which ones work best there. I have a bunch of jerk baits, chatterbaits, and soft plastics to try too. Something should work. If not I'll catch bait.

    I recently got couple frit sides, have see how I do with them. Something I don't hear a lot guys talk about using deep diving cranks in shallow water? Is it somethin you know of alot people doing?? I prefer silent crank baits 95% of time. But using deep divers has worked well in very shallow water. You grind them on bottom entire cast, gets good reaction bites! You u will grind bills off if rocky though.

If I’m missing it could you turn me on to which color is a little translucent for these ultra clear waters. Thank.
