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 roughly a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.
Love the way you think. I hope Berkley is paying attention to you. Greatly appreciate you. Thank you Matt.
I appreciate that!
This video reminded me of a bait they used to have in the old havoc line. It was the backslide from berkley and it really did flutter backwards on the fall. No modifications needed. Just Texas rig it weightless. I wish they still made it.
Ill have to see if i can find some!
I don’t bass fish much so I try and learn tips to make me a better thanks for the tips.
Glad to help
It’s like an improved French fry rig. Like the idea for those docks u can’t get under.
it works well
Love this channel!!! Reminds me of Randy's channel b4 he started bashing other you tubers lol
And less old dude opinions and mental mumbo jumbo lol
Thanks!
I like both Matt and Randy's channels. I'm a proud "old dude" dinosaur.
Randy basically only talks about the baits that sponsor him, and then also older stuff that he swears by and you can’t get anymore. Also I’m a braid to leader addict so I disagree with him on like every setup he uses lol
I still enjoy and learn from his vids tho
@@jamesh7469 for sure, we can learn a Lil from every channel
You can also do this with Missile Baits 48. It is a stick bait with a flat bottom. Works great.
Thanks for sharing
Excellent presentation. Better yet, all the parts are already on tour tackle boxes. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
When ur garage looks like a local tackle shop, hahaha . Must be nice 👍
It is!
First time I throw a flying lure to lay down, I watch it fly out of view , pump it once. BAM! 6lber grabs lure as it dives back in under limb. Fight was on! Had to be 25yrs ago or more, picture is still vivid in my mind. Nice to see idea come back around. Why not design a universal jig head that helps plastics dive/fly same directions as cast. Maybe a couple Berkley plastics designed with all features needed for best performance. Do it! Do it! Do it! Just sayin! Keep on!
Thats an awesome story! I wasnt there and I envisioned it!
I still have one of the flying lures a Junebug and your absolutely right it was awesome how it would glide away from you,I would always use it on bedded bass because you could keep it right in front of the bass!
Very cool!
I miss watching in the morn as part of my pre-work ritual! 😆 But i’ll watch when ever you post it! Thanks Matt
You never know we might move it back.
@@MattStefanFishing Your vids seem to get lost in the mix in the afternoon. In the morning you’re right at the top on the home screen.
Me too I watched every morning
Decoy makes a weighted hook where you can slide the weight wherever you want. Works great for this technique. There are some plastics that work great for this. The deps bull slender or bull slide and the OSP do live stick fat
ill check it out!
@@MattStefanFishing
There is the decoy back switcher and the makisasu hook, hard to find but they work. I’ll have to give the nail weight a try sometime.
I rig the fat ika backwards and nail weight a Texas rigged senko to get similar results. I never thought to try it with a creature bait. Thanks for the tip!
Ill check it out!
holy smokes... thats a wild idea matt. freaking sick.
Thanks for watching!
Funny that you actually gave this a name, I started fishing with this the exact same way with the same bait. Great results especially with largemouth though works on both.
Thanks!
The Amazing Flying Lure…LoL! I think I still have the kit from when I was a kid. I have been rigging the Fat Ika in a similar fashion. I will definitely look to give this a try with some sweet beavers and a nail weight.
As always thanks for the tips!
thanks for watching!
Hey Matt ...really surprised that you let this "gliding" technique out of the bag, but is a technique that can be more generally applied. .... for instance ....with a jig! ....not necessarily a backwards glider. but it's the gliding that makes it deadly! Not the prettiest as far as appendages and kickers, but using a chuck type trailer gives the jig an irresistible gliding motion. ... short 5/16 oz finesse jig with a tiny Zoom chunk was my go to, and would make 100's in a year time, and was all that I threw as far as jigs most of the year.
definitely agree with you on the jigs and gliding. killer tactic! Thanks Jim!
Good tip. 👍 Reminds me of what we used to do with tubes and GYB Fat Ikas.
very cool!
This was a really good tip. Enjoy your videos.
Glad it was helpful!
A slick rig. I’ve got to try it. Thanks for sharing
Any time!
I’ve discovered that a 1/8 oz EWG weighted hook like a fusion works well because the weight is centered on the hook better and also the screw lock holds the end well. Glides well!
thanks for sharing!
Great video, I will be trying this next summer. Thanks for all your great ideas Matt.
You bet!
Cool loved this video take me back fished the flying lure around docks
yes sir!
Wow, that's some good juice right there!
Thanks!
Simple but effective. I Like it.
Thanks!
Bob deuel great tip I know many lakes I can use this
great!
Keep the great videos coming.
Will do!
This is a very deadly technique Matt thanks for sharing! You and Gary Dobbins are the only pros I have ever heard talk about this technique. His bait of choice is a Yamamoto Fat Ika rigged backwards on a EWG 3/0 Super Line Hook 🤫
I have fished the Fat IKA this way for years and caught hundreds of bass this way!!
Very cool! Gary knows what he's talking about!
You are a genius.
Thanks!
I know it ain’t a secret… but god dang….
Once this is perfected in current, lights out!!!
its a good one
Hey Mr Stefan good one I was checking out a few years ago the backwards Texas rigging but a little different set up I like it awesome some of the reading I've done on smallmouth bass fishing they seem to like baits that glide. Thanks for all the great info God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike.
Cool, thanks!
Most of the docks around here are the black plastic floats under the docks. That looks like it would be an awesome idea to use around them. Thank you for sharing!
Works great for them!
Really cool outside of the box thinking. I'd love to see some underwater footage but it totally makes sense and could have used something like this countless times.
I would but we are froze over now.... always a depressing time of year for me.
I can't be too far behind you buddy, it's a bummer for sure
I’ve always used a Fat Ika for this until I tried the OSP Do Live Shot. It’s the best I have ever used. I can keep my bait in a lay down forever.
ill check it out
excellent video, I definitely will add that to my bag of tricks
Excellent!
It’s like that old school flying lure from tv info mercials
Yep!
Very interesting. I will definitely be trying it.
Thanks Mike!
Great information again
Just started watching the channel
Awesome, thank you!
Fantastic idea... I remember purchasing some flying lures way back... This will definitely be something I try.
Go for it!
Matt I put bass fishing on the back burner for cat fishing. You have inspired me to start up bass fishing again. You are educational and a real down to earth person. Thanks for the videos I have watched everyday now for a month they are very enjoyable to watch, and learn from.
That is awesome!
Another Great One Matt! I can see why you would keep this one a secret. Docks are getting to be the only shoreline cover in many lakes now, and growing in numbers!
Very true!
So glad I found a nice supply of flying lures last year on ebay, lol. I've loved 'em for decades. Your glide bait is a nice idea for sure.
Awesome!
That tip right there was awesome. New sub.
Thanks for the sub!
Differently going to be trying this!!
Its a fun one!
Wow the flying lure what’s next helicopter lure I remember these gimmicks im40 years old they where the good old days man great idea here Matt thanks dude have a happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving!
This is still one of my favorite techniques around cover and overhanging tree limbs. I really like some of the Japanese backslide baits like the older Jackall cover craw, the OSP Dolive Shot, and the Deps Bullslide. The Jackall Fivoss also looks promising, but I don’t have any experience with it yet.
Ill have to check a bunch of those out!
I do the same thing with a senko. Glides up under bushes/ cover
thanks for sharing!
Awesome great tip looking forward for more content 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
More to come!
I've done that with a stick bait, to make it fall into or under a grass matt edge, worked very well, kind of forgot about that technique, good reminder, thank you.
Good stuff!
I was experimenting with this exact setup last summer. I could get it to glide a good 5 + feet oftentimes. Definitely nice gliding around thick trees that go all the way to the water surface
yep!
Very cool!!! I will be trying that soon.
Hope you enjoy
Another good video Matt
Glad you enjoyed it
I’ll try this skipping way back in willows,I use a nail weight in a stick worm,also a stick bait as a top water ,great tip ,watch fish the moment live tonight ,lake map breakdowns ,leaning to read the water by the seasons
Thanks! Tonight FTM LIve should be fun!
I have a box full of flying lures still. Mostly forgot about them. I once caught a five pounder under a dock as it swam perfect and bam. I am going to try this! We should all try if it works out we can call it the Matt Stefan glider technique! Thanks Matt
That is awesome!
The gliding bait idea is a really good one I do it with a senko, by Texas rigging it weightless and then putting a nail weight at the bottom end of the Cinco when you flip it at the dock it will glide several feet underneath the dock it just keeps going straight back.
Very cool!
I rig them backwards without a nail weight. 9 times out of 10 I lose the senko anyway. It works.
I use this for tullies and docks when I need it to go under a heavy or hard cover. Worked for years!
As a matter if fact, we're in the process of designing a bait just for this purpose.
Im excited to see what you come up with
Good stuff Matt
Thanks!
Hey I used to fish the flying lure on docks. In fact I bet I still have some in the garage. I like your idea and will use it for sure. 👍😎
Go for it!
As usual great content this reason I subscribed to your channel. Thank you sir I’m going to have to try it!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Yessss that one ☝️ bait i got , exactly same colors , will try it next spring , it’s the end off fishing season for me and the beginning of my cross country skiing season, just waiting for more snow ❄️. I will continue to follow you and your valuable tips and get my hands on anything from max scent where i could find it .
Awesome!
Try the deps bullflat. It comes in multiple sizes too.
Ill check it out
Killer technique!!! I use my D Bombs the same way. Different hook & different weight. I've tried using a really light weight like a finishing nail and it works better. I always put scent on the bait before I cast. I'm not wanting to attract them, it doesn't work that way. I use it to mask the smell of human or anything that gives me away. Thank you for sharing
Awesome!
Great tip, thanks for the video
No problem 👍
I get a killer glide with my Palm 🌴 when backwards rigged. It's awesome to pitch to cover. Gonna have to give it a try brotha:) Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
I have been experimenting on this for couple seasons now using beaver style and tube baits. Great stuff will trying your method for sure. Thank you and keep up the great videos
Good luck!
There is only one "d" in Glider. Other than that, it was an excellent tip that I will employ on Black Friday, 11/26/21.
Haha! Your right! It has been changed. Thanks!
I still have a whole case of flying lures! We bought them at the Journal Sentinel Sportshow decades ago.
Nice!
The fat ika is my go to backglide bait. The jdm brands are all about the flat gliding baits. Osp, deps, the bull flat, sakamata Shad, cover scat. Many baits specifically designed for what you are trying to achieve. Have you tried free rigging?
Yep, i have. Its a decent bait presentation. thanks for sharing!
I figured you probably had. Great video though I have never thought of trying to make a beaver backglide. Thanks Matt.
Just found your RUclips channel. Can't wait to see the rest of your videos. Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you for the video
You're welcome
Thanks Matt as always very helpful this is why i tune in everyday Matts the best from Ohio.
Glad you enjoy it!
When I started tournament fishing years ago, I was always trying “stuff” like this way outside of the box. Didn’t have the beaver back then and was trying to make tubes do that in nasty log jams with very few holes to get a bait in.
Good stuff brother 👍🏼
Thanks!
Very interesting, Matt. Looks like a great idea
Give it a try!
Still have some flying lures. Great video 📹 👍
Thanks 👍
Love Berkley baits. I wish they all smelled liked the green pumpkin color the clear baits with glitter all smell like rubber lol i never understood that even tho i know there scented also
ive never noticed that but im going to be smelling them all now. haha
@@MattStefanFishing i promise you will notice..lol thanks for the vids God Bless and have a great Thanksgiving
Awesome tip!!! Can't wait to try it out, thanks for sharing Matt
You bet!
Thanks, Matt. a very good tip. I will try it.
Awesome!
I still have my Flying Lure Kit and I thought it was a brilliant idea way back then and had success around the docks. Now I’m gonna did it out from my attic, and I just placed an order of several packages of nail weights 😁👍 another great tip Matt, Thanks 🙏 and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to you and your family 🙏
Happy Thanksgiving!
This is exactly why I love your channel, stuff like this is awesome and Im going to try this!
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome tip on that Glidder!!!!!👊🏻 Can't wait to get out and try it!!! Going to Fla in January maybe I will have a chance to try it down there!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Works well around the buggy whips!
This looks pretty sweet! Definitely going to try it out...
Thanks for another great video!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for this tip. It looks awesome and I will definitely be rigging it next time out.
Have fun!
Nice Matt it's great that you share with us! Love the content!🎣🎣
Glad you enjoy it!
Great tip! I can’t wait to try it next time out. Thanks Matt!
You bet!
Wow that’s awesome Matt i still have some of the flying lures hooks the flying lure themselves didn’t hold up but still an awesome idea 🙏
Thanks 👍
Another solid tip thanks Matt 👍
You bet
Great tip Matt, thank you.
No problem!
Cool man!
you bet!
Dude. The fat Ika, Texas rigged backwards, drops away on a slack line just like the flying lure did. Without added weight cause the body is so heavy. I too found it out after buying an old stock pack of flying lures, that I never opened.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
It has the added benefit of the absence of a weight at the line end - less chance of a hard weight blowing the mouth of the fish open on the hookset.
yep!
Great stuff per usual Matt!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank for the tip have a happy turkey day my question what is a good size jig for winter
I stick with a standard 1/2 oz size
Cats out the bag now! 🤔 lol another great video matt
Sorry!
Given up the juice!!!!
I try my best! Give it a try!
Matt, ive seen similar backwards rigged craws used as punching baits, with the punch weight attached to the hook gap. I thought it was a pretty dope idea cause it streamlines the presentation and the weight always hits the matt pointy end first.
I haven’t fished it extensively, but i think it gets through cover with slightly less weight and should give you a little slower fall, but most importantly the weight isn’t there to bust the fish’s mouth open. Would love to hear your thoughts
Ive used them and have mixed feels. I like that the weight doesnt push through the fishes mouth but i also feel like its easier for the fish to shake the hook because the heavy punch weight is plling the hook backwards. But I have caught fish doing it.
@@MattStefanFishing i also imagine it’s harder for them to pick the bait up to get the hook in their mouth the right way, the weight prevents them from just mouthing the plastic
The “Flying Lure”…the squashed squid. I hated that thing. I could never get it to go where I wanted it to. I thought that the heads were too heavy. Jackall makes a Craw imitation called the Sasuteki Craw that you rig backwards. I’ve used it a few times, but only caught one fish on it.
Ill check it out!
Great video on the glide bait Matt. I can’t wait to give it a try. Keep the great tips coming Matt. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving!
Looks like a great bait for working down a steep bluff as well. How does come back to the boat? Is it a line twister?
Nope
Yamamoto fat ika works good to
Ill give it a try!
I punch just like this rig with a big Neko sinker
very cool
