    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.

    Wacked'em last week on a football jig, I like to slide it along like you first described and as it gets closer to the boat I'll pop it. Thanks for the tips

    This is by far the best video on retrieves for football and casting jigs really well explained! This is how i have been doing it also for big pike here in The Netherlands. Only difference is i use thicker fluorocarbon between 0.75mm and 1mm thick, for the teeth of big pike. I still catch big perch this way in clear water and those are a lot like smallmouth bass over here

    Matt since your on the staff at berkley I have a very serious question. Why trilene over vanish? I know the stats like vanish is suppose to be more limber and trilene has better knot strength but is it really worth spending the extra money for the trilene? And I tend to like a more supple limber line. Thanks for your videos and for answering all our questions.

    • @MattStefanFishing
      @MattStefanFishing  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I prefer the trilene 100% fluorocarbon it is the best blend IMO

    You mentioned wobble head. Ya don't hear pros talk much about that technique. I'll bet you anything they're using it a lot. That thing catches them!!!

      @Glock-1 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Another way to get that action if you don’t have wobble heads is peg your weight and use a ringed EWG hook, that welded ring on the eye of the hook give that action. Just an idea

    A guy on here puts jigs as one of 3 best lures ever. That depends on your skills and if you're fishing from a boat or shore. Wouldn't a fluke do the same thing with weights and still be a jerkbait? People are crazy my friend. You'll lose more fish and lures on jigs than anything. I have been on a boat in an illegal tournament. I should know. The better jigs are finessy. Still will lose fish and jigs. For $5 a piece, we need to fish smarter. Inflation tho. Not a fan of jigs. Put weights on any plastic and it becomes a jig. That's genius.

      A fluke with a weight is a COMPLETELY different presentation than a football jig or casting jig ...

      @wolverinex4243 Are you really trying to tell a pro bass fisherman that the opinion he shares with all of the other pros is wrong? Also, a fluke and a jig are nothing alike at all.

      @@nwtreasure5983 Do you know how to read and think? I've said put a weight on any plastic and it becomes a jig. Do you want me to say "it becomes a better jig?" Do they not lose jigs and fish on every outing? Do they cost $5 a piece? GTFOHea with your bullshyt. I'm not teaching no pro. I'm enlighting you bums.
