Not all swimbaits are created equal! Here are the differences in types of boot tail swimbaits and when I prefer to use each style.

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.
Hi Matt, thanks for sharing this great and informative video! Tips I'm gonna try here in the Netherlands.
Greetings from the Netherlands and bless you man, Pat.
👊🏼🎣👍🏼🎣🤘🏼🎣🇳🇱
Great info thanks Matt!
Great stuff as always. Please do a dedicated video on big swimbaits; 3:16, magdraft, huddleston, savage gear, etc.
Excellent info Matt! Never heard it broken down to that level before. Really appreciate all you do for us out here.
Thanks Matt. Swimbaits just are not my cup of tea. I have zero confidence in them but know I need to figure it out.
Matt, great video. Nick Lebrun had a 25 pound day on Lake Murry yesterday and caught his bigger fish on a swim bait that he didn't give us the name on the video but their were good closeups on the live, do
you know the name of the swimbait?
Hey if you could only have 2 colors of Hybrid Hunters what color would you get because I’m limited on space in my tackle bag?
Whats the best swimbait to pair with an Okashira screwhead – and why?
When you showed the grass style I instantly thought of the cane thumper, was surprised to hear you mention it because it's not one you really ever hear anyone talk about. I've caught a lot of fish on a cane thumper… ironically though, most of them weren't anywhere near any vegetation haha
Great video Matt. Any thoughts on "pass through "swim baits? You covered a wide range, I'm curious on your take. Rage/fad/gimmick/trendy or necessary? Can you rig them pass through without purchasing them that way? Seems easy enough to accomplish, possibly with a trick or two. Thanks. Good luck on the trail moving forward!
7:05 floppin back an forth 😂😂
4:17 don't let it get away from ya now lolol😂😅
Great topic. Thanks for the info.
👍👍👍👍👍
Would you use a swim bait on your hover round hook? If so, what weight?
Great topic Matt gave me more information on swimbaits. Thanks again
🍺Enjoyed this one. I agree with your points👍. When I go bigger thou I’ve had to many missed bites on the larger hollow belly’s (May have been smaller fish🤷♂️) so for me I use 3:16 Rising Son line threw. Either top hook and or bottom hook. 6” mostly and sometimes 8”. Dark hitch color for clear and white with chartreuse tail for dirty. I Love them. I change out to a Owner ultra split ring and a Gamakatsu G Finesse treble 1/0 on the 6” and a 2/0 regular on the 8”. The stock hooks on the 3:16 Rising son are too big for me.🤠
Great info and break down on the different type of swim baits. Thanks Matt!
I found this pack of knock off Keitechs called "Eco Pro Tungsten" at my local Ollie's. They were less than 3 bucks for a clam shell case of 5, I think. Gotta say, I love those things! They look very much like a real Swing Impact, but they're not nearly as soft so I can actually catch quite a few fish before I have to change one out.
Gambler EZ Swimmer is killer on a weighted swimbait hook over grass and along weed lines and in weed lanes. When I miss a fish with a frog instead of following up with a Senko, which they prolly have seen a bunch, I throw the EZ and if I am anywhere near where the frog missed it, I often get that fish to bite. Down in Florida they use the Big EZ size and that’s no secret. Up here less known but boy I’ve caught some chunks on it. Any natural color works, plus the usual variations based on water clarity.
🍺Connell 2nd, Ebare 5th, Lee 9th, Neil 10th🤷♂️.
outstanding info !
Thanks Matt , Love them on bedding fish.
I like the zoom swimming fluke jr.on a jighead or weedless screwlock
I ordered a few packs of the Lunker Hunt Fetch which looks like that 3:16. I hate them! Dont even think I have taken one out of the package. I guess maybe I should give them a chance but my inner fish says they are ugly and wont work. LOL
More great info thank you!! Hey Matt went out on the Wisconsin River today got a solid 19 inch smallie. Bit a Berkley Money Badger I bought that bait after your video recommendation. Tight lines brother
That was a good video. I'm always ready to talk swimbaits
There’s the wedge tail swimbaits also. Huds, Matt Lures, Savage Gear.
Thanks Matt!
Thanks for such good information.
