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.
Great content Matt, love the toads on the back of a buzz bait, I can really slow it down and let em eat!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Today was the 1st day I've seen surface temps in the high 70s and never got into the 80s on Toledo Bend and tonight is going to be our 1st cold night... I've been waiting for this for a couple months now and its finally here. I can't wait for daylight!!! LOL
go get them!
You should try the geecrack bao bab hog and bellow gill on the back of the toad slayer…
I’ll check it ot
We're lucky to hear all thêse típ and tricks and recomandations .Appreciate.
Thanks for watching!
Matt I throw buzz baits lot frogs toads and swim baits al so tubes and stander buzz baits with skirts. As always tight lines and God bless you matt.
thanks for the support!
Good choices. Thanks for sharing.
you bet!
Everything you say,Matt
Makes so much sense! I
Always wonder why i
Don't think of this stuff on my own! I don't so
Ill just keep watching!!
thanks for the support!
Great tips as always Matt.
I like to stuff an old plastic worm in a hollow tube to help keep it on the hook when using it as a buzzbait trailer.
That's a great idea!
I like the original lunker lure buzzbait with a horny toad. The squeak of the original lunker lure is hard to beat IMO
ill check it out
For my homemade downsized buzzbaits I’m trying the tube recommendation from an earlier video of yours. The tube of choice is a z-man. These are thin and slide/keep over the weight nicely. Will be out trying it soon. For more rise, I’ll be using the smaller Zman goat for the flat profile, but I have yet to find the color I want. Any skirt I use is round rubber.
awesome!
Any pointers on making your own small buzzbaits (what parts are you using, etc)? I may end up having to try that unless I can find some mini buzzbaits with good keepers for small plastics somewhere.
I do everything from scratch. Blades from aluminum sheet, heads from bullet weights (lead flattens with a hammer), wire from 0.035” stainless, etc. A good video resource is haru834 on the tube. To connect a hook to the wire, I simply pass the wire through the hook eye and wrap it around the hook near the hook eye about 5 times with pliers. I make my own spinner baits the same way…cutting the blades from brass sheet and hammering them to shape on a piece of scrape wood with a large round head carriage bolt. For plastic keepers I tie on a small bent section of 0.024” wire onto the hook shank. Like I said, check out haru834 as his work is similar to mine.
@@mistertwister1816 Wow, you're serious about starting from scratch. Impressive. I'll look up the haru834 videos. Thanks for the pointer.
Is the fishing over where you're at already Matt? I'm in North east Kansas
no but winter rolled. I usually get to fish into november but then freeze over
I'm very often on clear water (Minnetonka). Is it possible you to describe how fast is FAST? Stupid question, but I think I may be missing opportunities by going too slow.
fast us generally the fastest you can retrieve a certain bait without ruining its action
Thanks but this reminds me the old joke...two guys are LOST in a hot air balloon. They lower the balloon to get directions from a guy on the ground. They yell down, "where are we"? The guy yells back, "you're up in the air". One guy in the balloon turns to the other and say, "that guy is an accountant"...he gave us perfectly accurate information that was most useless. I'm not busting your chops, its my deficiency. Any self respecting bass fisherman should know this. That said, it is hard to know how many strikes I miss because the fish just got too good of a look at my lure.
Great video, as always. The Zoom Uni Toad works pretty well for me. Shad profile with toad-type thickness. 🤷🏻♂️
yep works great!
I LOVE Buzzbaits and I always use soft plastic trailers without skirts. However, I do have an issue and I’m hoping I can get some advise and tips on how to fix this issue. I mostly use soft bodied frogs, but they make my Buzzbait run on its’ side. Picture the blade on the left and the frog on the right coming across the surface towards me instead of the blade on top with the frog just underneath it. Any reason why this happens?
(Edit) In reference to using swim baits that use tougher materials as a Buzzbait trailer, check out the River2Sea D Walker in the 120mm size. Extremely durable bait with a lot of action.
Buzzbaits want to rotate in the direction of the blade. If the frog isn’t rigged right it will actually catch water and enhance the rotation. Less bulky baits will run truer and ultimately reeling slower is the best way to get it to run truer
Thanks for your info, Matt. I rig the frogs “flat” so that the belly of the frog is facing the ground with the hook point aimed towards the back of the head. I don’t know why, but it seems hard for me to explain this so that you can get a mental image of it. LOL!! 🤣 How’s about I say “The frog isn’t rigged sideways.” 🤣 I have several types of swim baits and craws I can rig to see if the Buzzbait runs truer and I will vary my retrieve speed as well.
Thanks Matt.
thanks for watching!
How does “the deal” work on the cover rig ? Rigged with fat side up?
its good
Matt, in your opinion, can you fish in sun as well as shade/low light conditions?
yep
Good to know because I've had some good days in the fall when its been cloudy but go away from the buzzbait when it's been sunny.
Good video Matt, I like to also use the strike king menis grug🤛
good one!
I also use some of the Basstrix baits as trailers
nice!
I was creeping through grass with the lake drawn down and snuck up on three 4 plus pounders in a foot of water hiding in grass. Now because of this video I’m kicking myself for not throwing a buzz bait over that grass flat. Wish I would have seen this video 2 days ago. 😂
your ready the next time it happens!
I like using a twin tail spinnerbait trailer alone on a buzz bait with a head and run it up over the molded lead skirt hub only
sounds good!
Love yer content Matt thanks!!
thanks!
Matt what's your thoughts on this... I've heard some pros say they either eat it up or not at all when it comes to a buzzbait. Do you think this is true? Or do you think that you might get a single bite or a couple bites but that's it.
ive had days were its just so so
Does anyone know of any toad style buzzbaits that are really small? I'm looking for something similar in size to the Strike King Mini Pro buzzbait (1/8 oz) but without a skirt and with some sort of keeper for plastics. I've found that I often get much better results with mini buzzbaits that have a more subtle sound and smaller overall profile, but it seems that all the toad style buzzbaits with plastics keepers I can find are the typical 3/8 oz size with large blades.
i dont know of any under a 1/4 oz
I often use a small trailer hook with a traditional Buzzbait skirt. Can you use a trailer hook effectively with any of these plastics on a Buzzbait?
Yes
🍺Thanks Matt🤠.
you betchya!
I like the toad slayer but I have issues tuning it. It wants to run at an angle with the bait kicked to the right of the blade. It runs straight but at like 45 degree angle. Ive tried tweaking the wire but can’t seem to to get it right? I use the zman Billy goat. Any suggestions outside of small tweaks to the wire ?
all single blade buzzbaits run at an angle depending on rotation of the blade. if you are talking about the bait turning id try something other than the bill goat. zman products tend to float pulling the bait up causing it to run crooked sometimes.
@@MattStefanFishing thanks. I didn’t even think about the floatation aspect of the elaztech plastic. I’ll try it next time with a standard plastic
If the fish misses that tube rigged bait falls really nice. I use a tube all the time especially on a 1/4 or 1/8 buzz bait!
thanks for sharing!
👍👍👍👍👍
thanks for watching!
Went to the Delta two days ago. Used the buzzbait. First second and third cast I catch fish. I'm thinking, "It's going to be a good day." Forth cast and my line snaps. The only buzzbait I brought on my boat that day. 😢😢😢 😂
oh nooooo
If the bait has salts they will not float so it won't go up to the top water with the buzz baits just saying what I know about plastic. No salt is a floating up off the floor of the lakes like I like to use on buzz baits to keep them on top of the water.
thanks for sharing
Skirt is always best. Soft plastic trend will end and come back to “retro “skirts. Spinnerbait resurgence now? Hilarious
Why do you say a skirt is always best?
@@jesseboyden3119 Original is always best. Somebody thinks they can make things better. Ned rig perfect example. Goes around comes around. Always
actually spinnerbait and wire bait sales were terrible this past year...
@@MattStefanFishing I use my 70’s Redmans Matt. Now damn cold is here in South Dakota
