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.
Cool idea… gonna give it a try!
You're giving away all my secrets, Matt. I've been making Ned heads with rabbit fur and marabou collars for 4 years now.
Looks great!!! Hopefully I can find the trailers & make some jigs for next season!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Wonderful stuff!!!!!
I love modifying finesse
baits!!
Here’s 1 to try Matt…once rigged, pierce the tip of the Zman TRD with a nail or anything you can. Then run a Zonker strip thru the hole you just made. It gives a very fluid motion and new look to Ned.
But did I say skirts and bulk attract big fish? I need to get on the Tube to do a mauling of my own.
The little things somehow always make a big difference! This is similar to the modification that you did awhile ago with the bobber stops and the small willowleaf blade setup that you shared before, it justs adds some more to it just enough to make a difference. I bet that if this bobber stop and willowleaf blade combo is added to a swimbait using one of your core tackle rigs would be a good setup to try, just a thought. Thanks Matt for sharing this with us!!
Nice hack. I bet it works well on the chain. Kinda reminds me of the Dan Gapen ugly bug. But different and probably better
I bought a pack of Silkies last winter, but hurt my back and really didn't get much of a chance to use them. Never would have thought to use them in this way. I'll give it a shot.
Nice little hack, thanks for sharing Matt
Never thought of using a silkie for a Ned rig. That’s a clever idea!
Fish USA has them $6.99 for a 4 pack.
Those are sweet, great tip thanks Matt
Awesome tip Matt! This is one the better lure modifications I've seen in a long time.
Matt, great tip! Thanks for sharing. I will have to try this out. What do you think about adding rattles to ned worms?
👍👍👍👍👍
I may trim/reuse some old skirts and give this a try. Thanks Matt great tip!!!
Bass pro carries them
Thanks for the tip Matt! Def gonna pick a few colors up.
Another great tip, a must try
