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 six MLF Championships and won roughly a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.
I've prolly "secured" my bullets much less than most over the years but when I do, the good ole toothpick has always done the trick. I will look into those pegs though.
You're definitely not alone with the toothpick idea
Matt, great explanation. I think the way you laid it out makes total sense. I also think everyone around me watched your video, I can't find any peg-it anywhere!! Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Thank you!
@Johnny Boone Thanks for the tip man. I always forget about Amazon when I am looking for fishing stuff.
Totally agree Matt. The Peg-it is my go to over a bobber stop.
awesome!
Excellent points. I’ve gone from toothpicks to rubber skirt material to peg it to bobber stops and back to peg it’s
Yeah i know how that goes
Good tip and explanation. I’ve used bobber stops with success, but never thought about the damaged line on installation. It probably doesn’t matter with 65 pound braid but bad with mono and flouro. Indeed during a fight with a fish, the bobber stop will creep up the line above the hook. I’m going to make a point to experiment with the peg system this summer. Thanks for the video.
Give it a try! I think you'll like it!
Good point and info, I always use the bobber stop but typically use 2 especially with heavier weights to prevent the weight from even slipping at all and sometimes even adding one under the weight to prevent damage to knot, understanding that the weight will remain near the fish’s mouth and will be additional leverage for throwing the hook, but at least the weight isn’t sliding up and down hitting the hook. Just my thoughts
Makes sense! It’s better to lock that weight in with two bobber stops
Howdy Matt from the west coast! California delta, Clear lake ,lake Berryessa etc. I've been using them in 3 sizes for years now and have recently started using them for punching since I recently discovered "jumbo" peg-its. When it is punch time out here, I will usually have 3 different weights rigged up to 2oz and they work beautifully. I gotta bunch of leftover bobber stops I should give away.
awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Happen to me twice last year, where I actually saw the weight slide back down and pop the hook out. Gave away all my bobber stops this year in going back to pegging.
ive seen it as well with my own eyes
Solid stuff coming from you and Randy both. Waiting for ice to thaw then going out with more knowledge and confidence. Thank you for sharing
No problem!
Great tips, I've used it both ways, totally agree
Thanks!
gonna try some T STOPS I use p line tacTICAL 12 # and when I worm fish next thing I know the other bobber stop is 5 feet up my line clicking thru my guides ....I wonder how much weaker a single half knot would be with or without a bob stop I use smooth titanium bullet sinkers I dont think they would cut into the knot maybe ill go out in the yard and test it
go for it
Excellent points and information. Something i do and that i actually learned is this , Here let me break this down , what i do is i put on the Triangle Bullet Weight then tie on the interchangeable swivel twist the line 20 times or so , then tie the knot under the weight and above the interchangeable swivel making sure i leave a little bit of a loop so the swivel swing freely , by doing this i learned that by tieing the know below the triangle and above the interchangeable swivel that the knot will actually act as a stop point that will either keep the weight above your line or under the knot , because what will happen is the weight has tendency to wanna shift up and down which can become extremely annoying so by doing this im able to keep the weight in 1 place and still catch fish. i call this knot the Indestructable knot because sometimes the only way this knot will break is if if if if if if if IF you cut the line otherwise if you catch a 5 pounder then this knot wont break and will actually hold up. this is the only kind of knot that i use and i have personally had little to absolutely zero trouble with this knot. warning sometimes the swivel will go through the loop so you'll have to pull the bait or swivel through the loop besides that you should no to extremely little problems with this knot.
interesting!
@@MattStefanFishing yes sir. Because what is happening by tieing your line like this is the knot will actually hold the weight back from sliding up and down so if you caught a 5 pound bass then the weight will slide down or alternatively the knot can help hold the triangle weight down near the hook so you dont have to peg it. this is something i learned that i never told very man anglers about. perhaps you might like try it i mean who knows it might be the 2nd best option while TexasRigging.
Triangle weight ? Never saw that for a Texas rig. Learn something everyday I guess
@@neilgwinn7378 i refer to them as triangle weight cause its shaped as a triangle
Peg it only way to go 😊
Thanks!
Great Tip! Thanks Matt 😊
You bet!
I find that a peg-it makes reusing the weight difficult. To solve the doesn't hold as well issue I use two bobber stoppers.
Stick what you have confidence in
In a pinch I have used the tag end off of my fire extinguisher zip tie. They are almost always round use it like a peg it.
good idea!
Could you show me how to peg-it bullet weight with the zip tie
i wouldnt recommend that
@Matt Stefan Fishing
Well I'm talking about the video
How do you peg it
Great tip!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tip
Thanks!
Are use a good old fashion flat toothpick. Never had any trouble with it breaking a line.
Good to know I always have steered away from toothpicks since I could see them damaging line, which is why I prefer a rubber peg-it. But if it works for you stick with it. Thanks for the comment!
@@MattStefanFishing I just meant I never knew the rubber pegs were out there. I’m going to try them. It makes good sense.
Good vid ..is that a red rider bb gun on your shelf ..nice
Haha! Yes it is I got a bunch laying around. We used to get one every year we qualified for the forest wood cup.
I used to use the old tooth pic for years. This is the first time I will use a bobber stop. I will have to find some of those pegs. Thanks.
they work great!
I assume the impact is biggest with heavier weights (in terms of sliding back down and affecting your landing ratio). Do you have the same view with 1/8-1/4oz size weights?
I think so. The Worst day of lost fish I’ve ever had was with a 1/4 oz so i would say yes light weights still need to be pegged.
I know from your other videos that you prefer not to peg (me too) unless necessary. With the bobber stopper I often push it 6-7” up the line so I get the benefit of unpegged freedom of movement but also avoid a major split between my sinker and bait in thicker cover.
@@peteremerson4777 good idea!
I feel exactly the opposite. I don't want that weight at the lure when he's thrashing his head.. If it slides up the line a bit, less weight for the fish to use to dislodge the hook.
That’s exactly what my point is in this video. With a peg it the weight always slides up the line and holds up the line. With a bobber stop the weight slides up the line the same way it does with a peg it, but now there is nothing preventing the weight from sliding back down to the lure and allowing the fish to use the weight as leverage and shake the hook. That’s why I choose a peg it over a bobber stop
@@MattStefanFishing Well my apologies then. I misunderstood your intent. I'll have to rewatch it.
@@dragonsmugla no worries! We are on the same page!
hope you have the picture about it
thanks
Anybody here got any Gar recipes?
not me
toothpick
IM always worried a toothpick will pinch and damage the line.
