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 six MLF Championships and won roughly a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.
Very simple! I feel like I going down a very expensive rabbit hole with the other videos on this dang hook question!
thanks…right to the point !
Love ur swimbait weighted hooks, I’ve ordered several packages of each size and hooks size you offer.
The BEST swimbait hook!!
Straight to the point! Exactly what I needed to know

A little more technical question. Do you want to use the biggest weighted swimbait hook the belly can handle?
Solid. Straight to the point. Super helpful!
Would you recommend I split the belly even with a weightless beast hook ? Thanks
What rod and line for your 6 inch hollowbellied swimbaits?
Great thought
Quick and clear. 1/0 for every inch of length. Awesome stuff. Look forward to the next video for weight per inch Matt ;).
Thanks Matt, that does seem easy enough. I've never thought about slitting the belly of a hollow body swim bait. Great tip!
That makes so much sense!
Thanks, Matt. That's just what I have been looking for! I'll use that info next time I put a swimbait on a weighted hook.
Thanks Matt.
