My Profile:
http://www.mattstefanfishing.com/
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.

TRY 5 YEARS AGO LOL.
I’m gonna be honest awesome idea looks awesome as well, but there’s no way that thing has a hook up ratio anywhere near 70%
Thank you for the video
Hey Matt do those frogs hold up good or do they tear pretty easy? Also what size is the one you have in the video?
I don’t like that hook gap shit I should have waited
Ok you got me too bite just ordered 4 2 green and 2 grayish blue/purple at $9.91 eBay 1/2 oz 70mm I love a popper pop Max being my favorite popper rather throw a popper than a frog way better hook ups for my fishing style
It seems you may have to bend the hook open more, as it really does look like there's very little hook gap between it and the bait
🤔 little bending on that hook and some trimming to one side of the tails to help it walk and that looks like a 💰 bait! Thanks for sharing 🎣
Single EWG is very interesting on that bait
Thanks for the video Matt, I gotta say Im a little skeptical on this bait, looks good but I do see a few flaws with it, hopefully Berkeley will fix them, great idea though.
Looks great. I'd have to bend the hook up or something. Maybe it needs it's own hook design. That leg action is the best I think. Never seen a frog lure do that.

I live in an area with super shallow lakes that are choked with vegetation. The water gets into the 90s during the summer and the fish are really active. Perfect for topwater frogs. I suck at topwater. Topwater is the bane of my existence.
Great video matt! I somehow missed your livestream. I wish I didn’t but I’ll be sure towatch the uploaded version of it
Owner just came out with a hook called "The Haymaker" that's a wide gap ewg with its point bent a little outwards. it's supposed to allow you to use an ewg for flipping but still get the benefit of a straight shank hook that's been snelled. If you used it on this bait the hook point should sit more parallel to the back of the bait out of package, and open up that gap a bit. Awesome idea for a popper though. I've got a couple of frogs already that I think are made of this same material- you can't store it around other plastics- it causes issues just like elaztech. I don't know who made them though- they came in a Monster Bass box and I never threw them. I think a company called D-Day maybe made them- something like that.
I can’t wait for the snakehead bite to turn back on out here in Philly, because that black one I got in the give away is gonna get me a 29”-33” easy!! So fired up to throw it for snakehead. This cold snap we have now jammed everything up 🥴..I’ll cop another for bass too. Smallmouth will absolutely crush it 1,000,000 thanks man!!!!
I’ll have to try that, I hope the hookup ratio is good. Off topic question….have you ever had success with a puffball hair jig in the south or is just a northern thing?
I love this bait it comes in two sizes and no one talks about it
Question for ya, would you be open to answering a more specific question on one of the lake breakdowns? Struggling, and not sure the best place to reach out or if that's something you have time for.
this vid is perfect timing for me, i just had one of my best days frog fishing in indiana, and they would have absolutely clobbered this thing.
Looks like an awesome bait!!!👊🏻 Have to put it on my wish list!!! 👍🏻 Stay Safe & God Bless!!!!
Looks like a nice bait. I bet with the popper you could rig that with a treble cheater hook for open water fish. I bet the smallies would crush it.
Those look real nice! Definitely going to get a couple soon.
Really cool, and hookup percentage would be my concern. But since you haven't had an issue I feel confident in ordering some.
I got 2. Sitting in my tackle, waiting for that beautiful summer time fishing.
I need it!
That’s what I want but with treble hooks… for open water of course
I missed the launch on this one or I'd have it right now. I'll be taking care of that. Looking forward to the live stream tonight!
Think I've mentioned it before, zmans poppin frogz my favorite frog & top water Texas rig so weedles & floats. Can burn across surface as well. It doesn't walk though it fails in that category
I am gonna have to pick up a couple of those. My son loves poppers and popping Frogs. This a a combo of both in one bait.
Getting ready for some top water action ! Live tonight
I love this bait! Or should I say the idea of this bait, my fishing partner brought one back from a Bass Pro Shop two months ago. And I fell in love with it as I am a popper kind of guy. And this gives you the ability to fish it weedless where you wouldn't normally throw your regular treble hooked popper. Can't wait for it to warm up enough to throw this. I have been fishing just not topwater yet here in Pennsylvania
Thank you, Matt!
Love the parrot too
Cool bait I like 👍
It’s worth trying out. I still question the hook up ratio the way the hook points towards the bait though
New Hampshire water temp is almost 60. Just a fun little fact. Love the videos. I know you’re sponsored by Berkley but there’s so many other baits you should talk about.
Good looking bait thanks for the vid
Can't wait for top water
Coming up on 25 thousand subscribers ! Good for you 👍! Frog fishing is a riot 😆
