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.
God… I wish I could fish in a boat that said “pepperoni” on the deck. I buy bridgeford beef sticks every fishing trip for good luck.
Thanks for the support!
😂
Lol...I wish I had a wife that was a chiropractor
great to see someone else on youtube sharing speed cranking and changing up cadence! Tactical Bassin channel has been sharing this technique for years. As well as changing cadence on spinnerbaits too! nice going
Sounds good
Nothing better than a bone jarring strike speed cranking! Right up there with topwater strikes. What Dime color would you suggest to imitate Ciscos/Tullibees? I have a trip planned to Cedar Lake in Ontario (near Perrault Falls) next Spring. We had great success cranking a now discontinued bait, Strike King Lucky Shad in bone for smallies, & walleye. It had a similar slender profile to a Rapala Shad Rap. I'm hoping the Dime will be my new favorite!
Any of the Shad colors or translucent colors should work. I really like blue Shad, ghost hill, ghost morning dawn, blueback, herring, pixie dust and vanilla chartreuse
Great on the water video!! Great fish, great professional teaching, great everything!! thanks Matt!
Glad you enjoyed it!
🎯💯
That was the coolest freaking opener I've ever seen. I've seen a lot. Fished a lot and i have never seen anything like that. If I have a 4+lbs on i don't take the time to think of doing anything like that.😅
Glad you enjoyed it
Catching a 1 eye fish speed cranking is a testament to how well these fish feed with their lateral lines. Insane.
agreed
🍺Thanks Matt. Enjoyed seeing a few nice ones caught. 🤠
Glad you enjoyed
Thanks for this Matt I’m hittin em hard this fall I’ve got a crank box coming together now!
Glad to help
So...saw tour of your tackle crib. Was that other white jig one of the ones I sent you, or no? Was just curious. I saw the way the skirt was hanging and I was curious. 🤣
Might have been! I hang a bunch of baits on the board that i get sent.
Glad to hear a professional say you don’t need to hit something for a crankbait to be effective. Just changing speed and pauses are all that’s needed. I believe most people who don’t catch much on a crankbait just cast and wind. Nothing in nature moves in a static motion on land or water. There’s always pauses, twists, jumps and speeding up or slowing down. I like to visualize what my bait is doing all the time.
Absolutely!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 haven't fished crankbaits for a long time might have to dust off my crankbaits and get them wet
Go for it
I find the opposite is true. I have been slowly retrieving crank baits across the bottom and catching them. Out of curiosity, what type of wabble does the Dime have? (tight or wide?)
tight to medium...generally your wide wobble baits are not as good for speed cranking as they will roll over
What an awesome video to watch, big smallies speed cranking, have you tried this with the Money Badger, wondering if this would work with that bait?
i love the money badge but it pulls harder and IMO doesnt work nearly as good as the Dime for speed cranking. its just to wide wobbling
This is WHY I Smallmouth fish, (besides living on Dale Hollow), to get that excitement that we can clearly hear and see you are getting when they hit that bait. What an awesome resource we have.
Right on
What color would you recommend if you only got one for large mouth in 4’ visibility. Videos are great thanks
HD Blueback herring is a good largemouth color! www.tacklewarehouse.com/Berkley_Dime_6_Crankbait/descpage-BDI.html?from=MSFG
Matt, have you had success doing this on largemouth only largemouth/spotted bass lakes that dont have smallmouth?
Works on all species
Is the money badger good for speed cranking as well? I have plenty of those, but don't have any dimes yet.
i love the money badger but its not nearly as good for speed cranking as the dime
Ive been doing this since I was a kid, people would always give weird looks but it works, flat out works.
Yes it does
I was burning a square bill Saturday like this and killing it. Like you said I stopped it by the boat and a 3ft long musky took a swipe at it lol
Awesome
Now that looks exciting!
so much fun
Great video. Looks like a lot of fun up there. Tha ks for reminding me of this technique. I always loved burni g a Rattle Trap along the edge of grass.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great stuff, I can't wait to get out on LSC this Friday. Is the Dime 6 silent or rattle?
it has a low pitch thud from the weight transfer system
Thanks again for your help bro
Happy to help
Thank blank looked PERFECT. Loads nice and deep.
You bet
One of my favorite ways to catch numbers but it wears me out. I mostly throw 6xd
Sounds good!
That's a sweet looking color, too. Right in my wheelhouse.
I love it!
I love speed crank! What was the water temp during this day Matt?
still warm about 70 degrees
Bro u shoulda dropped a jerkbait down to that other one that was with the one u hooked on the crankbait he woulda ate it so quick
i know i could have dropped another bait down but i didnt have one one the deck
Looks like someone had a great day cranking.
yep!
Thanks Matt Love the cranking
me too!
It is not for food but for a lady B.A.S.S. ….
ok
I totally agree with stopping you're retrieve at the boat. Another thing I like to do in shallow waters, usually after seeing a lot of big followers and especially if i'm in the back, I'll drop a jig at my feet and just suspend it for a few minutes. I actually works!
Good tip
Matt do you think the hair jig is a good option this time of year due to how most people fish it? Speed reel stop speed reel stop etc. I know there isn’t a lot of fish still out deep but I tend to find bigger fish out deep if they’re there this time of year.
Yes
👍👍👍 nice looking crankbait.
Sure is
How do you compare it to a dt6
casts twice as far
i prefer to burn a chatterbait.
that works as well
yar, speed is key, like you said.@@MattStefanFishing
I don't do well burning them. They rise to the surface to much.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks
Hey buddy, can you spare me a dime? 😂 Cool 😎 looking crankbait. It's definitely a fun technique. Thanks for sharing.
haha
Great instructional video, your definitely burning it, so much your out of breath! But if I was catching mondos like those it would be awesome, you just gave me a use for my falcon rod, had it few yrs now, its basically the same rod, but never knew what you use it for, I bought it not knowing about rods like I do now somewhat 😂
Thanks 👍
I just got back from a 3 day bender at the camp bass fishing on Toledo Bend and I caught so many fish doing this... I had on a DT20, 5XD, and DT10 and the only way I could get them to trigger was burning that bait as fast as I could crashing it into the bottom or bouncing off brush piles. It's something I just started doing a couple years ago and It's without a doubt one of the funnest bites to get on. We dont have smallmouth anywhere around here but I could only imagine how hard they crush a crankbait moving at warp speed... LOL
Works so good
I got a couple yesterday speed cranking a tactical DD on the side of a hump. K d flatside was the bait for the day though. I'll be adding the Dime 10 to my tw wishlist
.
Give it a try!
You made my old arms ache watching you. Great information you shared . Thank You
Glad to help
Great reminder to stop at the boat! Last week, I was startled by a chain pickerel that grabbed my lure (like a missile) as I was lifting it out of the water.
Always stop at the boat!
Wish the water on the lake this past weekend was a muddy mess. In 6hr I managed one but my buddy got one to brag about. Didn't see anyone else catch a thing. I guess we can count ourselves lucky.
Sounds tough
Ghost green craw and ghost morning dawn blowing them up from the North Metro to Hayward.
Awesome!
We have been absolutely catching Smallmouth this exact way down the river. They love to spank it on the pause. And yes if you don't pause it at the boat, or in my case kayak. just as you start to pull it out of the water they'll come up and whack at it. Man it's fun!
A blast!
Thanks Matt. Makes me want to go out on Cox landing by Marinette Wisconsin...
Go for it!
Does this work for largemouth? Thanks!
Yes it does!
Great video Matt!!! That first one was a beast! Great job man!
Yes it was!
Wow great teaching video!
Glad it was helpful!
Had you around 13.5 lbs 👍
they were nice ones!
Great vid! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Good video and tip Matt 👍
Thanks 👍
