My Profile:
www.mattstefanf...
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.
I built my first rod a couple years ago and have built four or five since then it’s so addicting it really helps you become a better angler too
agreed!
I really like the rod building videos. I learn a great deal about different rods and how to use them. Maybe a custom build rod for 50k giveaway 😉. A custom made rod from an actual pro angler, that'd be like owning a Picasso!
maybe!
@@MattStefanFishing It would definitely be awesome!
You need to do a series on rod building. Maybe 1 video a month. Id love to build one of these but need more confidence on building one. I have seen several of your rod buid videos but we need a how to guide from start to finish. Yes i know Mud Hole tackle has some good videos but i think you could do a better job for us armatures.
Will do
You make rod building seem very easy to do.
I wish I had some 1,2,3 step by step instructions on how to actually build that rod.
I’ve got the 901 G-loomis on back order now and still waiting. You’re right about that cost too. Thanks for the video Matt. 🎣
check out mudhole.com. they have all the info you would ever need
You say “this is the last cast” just as many time as I do 🤣 even if I love them, that’s the trouble with wife and kids 🤣🤣🤣
haha
Realy nice video the strike at the end made me laugh 😂
Here we grap them by the gills to open there mouth
Thanks!
I love the black maribou jig. It catches Smallies even down here on the TN river. Got a cheap 49.00 dollar rod from Academy that works just fine for maribou and 5lb smallies 👍
awesome!
I love mine! For your reader family - give it a try!! A medium action just doesn't cut it. I'll generally have five or six rods on deck for the different methods and I'd be real poor if I didn't build. Matt I'm wishing I was there. Lake Erie and local lake's keep out of trouble with the wife. I don't know if she worries or just wants me around to open jars. lol
haha!
🍺I agree with all the benefits Matt mentioned about the MHX 9000 rod he’s making. I fish a G Loomis NRX+ 901 for all the same reasons. It is also a 7’-6” medium light action rod. It’s one of my so called “specialty”technique rods for Ned rigs, hair jigs, and small swim baits. I even throw very small Megabass Type 3 crank baits on it. If you put a high quality spinning reel with a great drag system on it there is no concern with any size bass. My pick won today👍. My MLF picks are also off to a decent start. Thanks for the on the water footage again. Love😍it.
🍺 Your “last cast” is like mine😂. Line size also plays an important part in those techniques. I use 6 lb Tatsu.
Thanks for sharing! Im surprised i didnt take 20 last casts!
@@MattStefanFishing 😂…..🍺
Have you ever considered selling Matt Stefan.signature series rods ? Great video 🦈
maybe 1 day
Great setup, I bet that rod and reel would launch my 3 inch wacky rig real well.
Yep!
Fantastic Rod looks hard to make. Would be awesome to use. Plus enjoyed watching you catching those Bass .
Glad you enjoyed it
You do a great job with your rods bro and thanks for showing us how
THANKS!
Great job on that rod, I think I might need to build that one here in the near future.
Go for it!
Amazing !! Hey Matt can you provide a link with the tools needed for wrapping ?
these kits from mud hole have everything you need mudhole.com/collections/rod-building-start-up-kits
Those blanks have go to be good ones , I like 👍
they are
Purposely targeted small mouth yesterday. Didn't go great. Blanked. Realized I need to upgrade and specialize some gear and tackle for them. I'm mostly a largemouth power fishing kinda guy . Not that some of them can't get it done but like you said, the right gear for the right techniques is key.
definitely need some more specialized gear for smallies
Matt dead ass serious when i say this after the rod shopping day I’ve had today. Totally honest after picking up 20-30 broken rods today at my local stores and burning time and gas going back and forth, what does a guy gotta do to have a nice MHX or CRB Ned rig rod built by you. I got moneys bro, not a lot of moneys but I got moneys I’ll pay up for a good product built right by a great rod builder
maybe one day but right now im not selling any
@@MattStefanFishing I understand. Thank you for considering i appreciate it. Thanks for the tips to
Good morning Matt. I’m a subscriber and watch your videos regularly. If you don’t mind sharing, what reel were you using and what size line. It looks like a 30 series. Thanks

Hell yes! Need all the build info I can
In the description
Matt, loved the video. Cool to see a build and cast video. How do you feel about the Lews KVD spinning rods? They are one of the few manufacturers that build a hair jig rod that's affordable. I Haven't had a chance to use mine yet, but I hope it's good for hair jigs. Peace!
i havent used them so i dont feel comfortable giving an opinion
Nice rod, thanks for the vid
No problem 👍
Hi Matt- it’s unfortunate that the “direct contact” spinning reel seat is far from direct contact with the actual blank. The hand actually contacts the spacer, with contacts the glue, which contacts the wraps of arbor tape, which contacts the blank. I’d think that the wraps especially dampen the feel vs touching the blank itself. Thoughts? It sure would be nice to have a true direct contact reel seat.
its true that its no direct contact, but the connection is so tight that it really doesnt dampen sensitivity
Love this blank! Thanks for mentioning it a while back. I also used your recipe to build the CB907 crankbait rod. What blank do you use for a worm rod? I tend to throw a Texas rigged worm or stick bait with a 3/16 weight a lot so I need a rod with a tip. MB844 is a little too light in the tip.
i like the NMB-873 and NMB-874 for flipping texas rigs
Give the NMB-873.5 a try, it's a great blank, one of my favorite rods. I have an HM-MB874 and HM-MB844. The 87' mag bass has a much stiffer tip than 84" Mag Bass's. IDK why but it does
Matt, when you reference your guide spacing … are you referencing from the front of the reel spool, or the front of the reel seat. I don’t fully understand “from top of reel seat with locking nut tightened down” if this an up-lock build. Thanks!
its the line where the front of the reel seat meets the top nubbin
Have you had a chance to try the MHX HS9600 looks similar but an 8' rod? The SJ9000 is back ordered for 2 months and i believe is was just the HS9000 prior
i have not tried that blank yet
Great stuff, I need to build one of my own rods. How would a Dobyn's 701 work with this hair jig? It's the same weight as this rod, only 7' long, so a little shorter and I have it in the garage already.
it would perform OK, but you really want a longer rod for this application in my opinion.
Hello Matt, I have what I hope is not too long of a question that maybe you could answer with your many years of Knowledge.
I live in NW Ohio and was walking around A large reservoir today. I noticed a bunch of Bits of dead Crawfish claws and shells on the rip rap dykes.
The Shells were all red and Orange in color, i know Crustaceans turn red when Boiled/Heated for Consumption.
My question is Did the Sun/heat (80°F) turn the shells red?
Or is that the color of the Crawfish before they died and dried up on shore?
Because if so that would really help me match the Hatch for the Crawfish species.
Sorry if this was too long winded, many thanks for the constant content.
i believe some will turn red as the decompose
Hair jig rod, love it , Will that rod work as a drop shot rod ?
it can but its a lottle longer than i prefer for drop shots
You took five more casts!
thats about normal for me haha
Would this your, blank, choice for a drop shot rod blank as well? I do want to make long cast in clear water.
nope i prefer the MHX NSJ-871 for drop shots
Those look like the new high frame cbr angled guides which I cannot find on their site anymore. Not sure what happened to them.
yeah they are not on the site at the moment and im not sure why either. I put the LZR guides in the build list so that i could at least have guides on it and i love them as well.
@@MattStefanFishing thanks for the reply Matt. Good luck this season!
Could you use that blank for a bfs casting rod? I've been messing around with a megabass bait finesse rod with a daiwa steez ct 70 reel with 6lb line. It's such a fun way to fish.
i havent but you could try!
My local french rodbuilding shop sells the same blank (but a 2 pieces: sj-9000-2). Any major behaviour difference with the one piece mhx sj9000 ?
its a great blank as well. I just always prefer one piece
👍
thanks for watching!
What line do you like to throw on your hair jig setup? thanks!
10 lb berkley X9 braid to a 6 lb fluorocarbon leader
"last cast". I called BS before I saw you take your next cast lol lol lol
haha
How much does this rod weigh and what material are the inserts made in the rod-eyes (SIC or otherwise). The components of the rod do affect price and performance of the rod.
i havent weighed mine but the blank specs are listed on the mudhole website
Hey matt would you say its as sensitive as an nrx+
absolutely
I would love to build me a good skipping rod……i am about 5’10”. What blank would you suggest?🤔
the MHX NMB-874
How much would that rod sell for complete build
parts to build yourself would be under $200...at retail it would sell for about $400
@@MattStefanFishing thank you
