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.
Now I know what to do with old spinner baits and crank baits I find floating or on trees.
yep!
Old man here. Been bass fishing over 55 years and feel I’ve gotten more good tips and info I can apply in my world (kayak fishing) than any other YT angling channel. I watch & learn from many channels, but I like the way you explain things, think “outside the box”, and share with us in a direct to-the-point manner. Thanks Matt!
Always seeking angling knowledge and love learning. 👍🏼😎🎣
Awesome! Thanks!
WOW - that sound really does come thru. Must be crazy loud in the water! TY!
It does!
I've taken old small inline spinners, cut the hooks off, added a short leader or a longer clip swivel, and then rigged it to the a fluke. makes it look like the fluke is chasing a smaller bait fish.
I’ve done similar things with other baits and it works well!
Never attached a crank bait to spinner bait arm. However, when a northern bit off my soft plastic end of a Mepp's in line spinner, I did attach a shallow running Rapala to the spinner with great results. Thanks for the new idea!
Good stuff!
immediately starts putting old spinnes on all of his lures just to see.......lol
Talk about thinking out of the box. Best creation I’ve seen in years. It will definitely be in my boat for those days. Thank you.
Glad you like it!
I don’t see how this couldn’t work. Great idea man.
Thanks!
Matt , I missed this one, somehow !!! This is a Great Idea !! I am going to try this out and see what I can come up with !! Thanks so much , Matt for showing us your Wisdom !!
Its a good one!
Love this idea, thanks for sharing !
Thanks for watching!
Looks different but I can see myself giving that a try, I love how you look at baits and can make something old, new again. Im giving this a try.
Thanks!
Chatterbaitenstein is wunderbar in muddy water. I use a Colorado blade for the thump.
I'll be trying this out
Ill have to dive into the chatterbaitenstein!
I just did this with a willow leaf beetlespin frame and a duorealis 2.83" spybait alpa65 and the bass that were chasing schools of baitfish were hammering the snot out of it.
It works great!
Kool idea , ive got a ton of old spinners and tons of blank cranks so ill give it a go
Go for it!
In the 90s, I would tie on a spoonbill deep diving slash bait on a Carolina rig with a 1 oz. weight. It worked a couple of times, but I finally figured out how to weight the treble hooks and apply adhesive weights on the bottom of crankbaits
Awesome
Neat you should have the Hankster conjure up a few and maybe Berkeley can market it as the Hankenstein .
Haha!
What! 😳 Im definitely going to try this!
You should
For sure they’ve never seen that in my area this is awesome
Give it a try!
Hmm…. That’s brilliant!!!!
Give it a try
Excellent. Great idea. The Redfish Magic spinnerbait has the large version of a Beetle Spin arm that comes with a colorado blade. I'm changing the blade out to a willow blade and attaching it to a 1.0 or 1.5 shad colored SB for these Fall roving schools of bass.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow, thinking out of the box! The sound of the blade clanking is very unique! The clanking sound reminds me of Teckel Honker Frog. Great stuff Matt 👏
Almost like a buzzbait underwater
Dude that's just innovative as hell! Nicely done!
Thanks!
Matt, have you tried slipping a piece of clear tubing onto the arm before making the loop? the tubing could be slid down over the loop and split ring which may keep the spinnerbait "above" the crank but not making it a firm connection. I will let you know. this may be a nice trick on shallow smallies on StClair this fall.
Good idea! Worth trying!
Are you crazy,I don't know, but that is brilliant! Like you said ,something different,I'm going fishing in the morning ,As soon as I get going I'm going to build me one of those!
Have fun!
Matt, looks good. I can try that. Thanks!
Go for it!
A fantastic idea. I cannot wait to try it this weekend.
Do it!
Turn arm the other way, makes it more weedless. And turbulence from blades make the square bill hunt more.
thanks for sharing
You can buy the Lunkerhunt clip on spinners at Wal-Mart that are the same size as those.
I’ll look into those. Thanks for sharing!
Very cool..spinnercrank
Thanks!
Love the idea, have to try this out, I know I have some old spinner baits that would work well for this. Thanks for sharing!
No problem
I am headed up to Clayton tonight to do some fishing and check out the Bass Open. I will build a couple of these before I go just to check them out. Love the idea. Back in the 80's I took a jointed floating Rapala, took the back half off and with a couple split rings was able to add a Worm hook and a Mann's Jelly Worm (we didn't have the selection of plastics that we have today). If I needed to throw it ini heavy cover I took the remaining treble hook off and went with only the worm hook and still had pretty good success with hook ups. The movement of the Rapala gave the worm a serious "S" motion. It was a ton of fun to fish. I think I am going to make one of those today also if I have any jointed floaters. I thought I had enough to do before I left today but no I will be busier lol, thanks.
Awesome thanks for sharing!
That is a great idea... I will do this
Sweet!
❤ it. Matt you are the mad scientist of bass fishing
Keep em coming. Thanks
Haha!
This reminds me of Ike’s April fools video with a drop shotted topwater frog haha
Matt, thanks so much for this video. As a bass freak and, of course, an inveterate lure tinkerer, I can't wait to try this !
Let me know what you think
Cool way to go nice 👍 good video thanks
Thanks!
I love hearing your lure modifications! Thanks!
Glad you like them!
I’m the type of fisherman that will try just about anything. This is definitely something I will try. I have several Spinnerbaits and Crankbaits that I’ve found anyway. 👍🏽
Give it a try!
Now thats so cool!!
Thanks!
Like that modification!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Thanks!
Crazy....cool tip
Thanks!
Cool idea
Thanks!
That is a cool idea, Matt. Never even thought of that
Thanks!
That is one that I have never seen. You had me at using a Beetles Spin. Fun stuff indeed. I was thinking a 1/4 Warping with a 1/4 beetle spin arm. Keep em coming Matt!
Will do
Crankenstein is a great name! When I try this, though, I'm going to call it a Spankerbait. 😁
Haha!
It's a Crank & Spin
I love this idea. I'm definitely going to give this a try. Maybe use a 2.5 squarebill
Go fo it!
Yet another purpose for my tree found spinnerbaits! I normally keep them for parts anyway, but this is something even better! Thanks
Good idea!
20 or so yrs. ago I tied a floating jerk on a carolina rig worked fine. Didn,t catch a thing but i tried guess now i'll try again.
Ive tried that a bunch with no success...lots of snags
Wow great idea! You know that I will have this in my arsenal from now on! Lol now I'm going to have to add another rod to the 12 I fish with. Thanks. Chuckle.
Haha!
Great idea!! I have done this with a belly weighted swimbait and It works really well..
Cool!
Wow that is a amazing idea thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Love it !! Now I know what I can do with some of my Old spinnerbaits.. Will definitely try this ... Thanks!! Keep'em Coming !!!!
Give it a try!
Good-looking set up watch all the videos have a good day
Thanks!
Thanks for the tip Matt! This tip got me thinking … I am going to try it on a guppy head w/ a 2.8 Keitech
nice!
The bridge ford meats are quite tasty I enjoy the spicy meat sticks the best
Yes they are!
I am gonna try it right now
Awesome!
Just found this. I'm a subscriber now!
Awesome! Thanks!
F ing, GENIUS ! Hanging out with you is like going to college. 1960 knock off. But very modern take. I was just ready to think of this. You beat me to it.
Haha! Thanks!
@@MattStefanFishing me and you need to hook up and bs and go fishing sometime. I'll even drive up to you
Wow I like it
Thanks
I laughed when i saw this cuz i experimented in sc with this but on a rattle trap and i was surprized at the reaction bites. Thanks for the tips
you bet!
That action was perfect
It’s good!
Oh man! Why didn’t I think of that? Because I don’t fish for a living 😄. Very, very cool Matt…….Thank you 👍🎣…….BTW, your Cubs are red hot ⚾️⚾️⚾️
On fire!
Cool, reminds me of a Cyclebait.
I’ll look it up
Incredible idea, thanks for sharing as always
No problem
I have been rigging the beetle spin type diy blades to my lipped and lipless cranks for several (5) years now (this vid is 6mo old atm).
From my experience, you don't want to right it to a balsa crank. The clacking will absolutely tear up the back of the lure. You HAVE to use plastic cranks for this. Expect the paint finish to be worm away where it is getting hit by the blade.
Using some of my old spinnerbaits is now on the list of gear mods to work on.
thanks for sharing!
You really should pitch this to a lure company. Just like the jaber jaw is a hybrid between a square bill and chatter bait. You might really be on to something here.
Thanks!
Savage gear has a ready to ty on, 3-in-a-pack spinnerblade (colorado) 1 silver, 1 orange and 1 NIGHT-GLOW
I’ll check it out
Mind blowing , now I have to try it lol
Thanks!
It works on a swing head jig as well
Cool I’ll try it
I read the title and thought that you had bought some of my buddy’s crankbaits….Crankenstein Custom Lures.
I remember trying this as a kid years ago for about 5 casts and then I was done with it. My hats off to you for fine tuning it 👍🏼
I’ll have to check out his crankenstein
@@MattStefanFishing 100% handmade. Hand carved from a blank stick of wood.
Dang. Been doing that for a few years. Secret is out.
Sorry
I love this idea!! I think I found a good use for a couple of my worn out spinners...just out of curiosity have you ever brought the idea to Berkley? Because you should, If you really dialed the crank and blade combos in I know as a chronic tackle junkie that me and alot of other people would have to buy a handful
I haven’t but probably should!
@@MattStefanFishing What Nicholas said, Freaking brilliant idea!!!
@@ChuckCooper thanks!
hey Matt, great concept for dingy water. i love it!! Awesome tip brother!
Thanks!
That’s a new one! Love the channel Matt. Thanks
Thanks!
Cool tip!
Now I know why I kept all of those old spinnerbaits! Have you tried turning it upside down with the spinner under the bait? I'm wondering how it would affect swimming action, and hook clearance, and if it might be a little more snagless. Definitely going to try this!
i have not. give it a try
I like it
Give it a try
I’m trying this.. thanks
Awesome
Try this with a lipless and Colorado or Indiana blades and fish it over grass.
Eww I’m going to try that!
I did that but in a micro version for crappies it’s a killer
nice!
I do the same with a Beatle Spin and swim baits. I have underspins but no 1/8 Oz. So i cannibalize a Beatle spin with an 1/8 Oz head.
Thanks!
Strike King Redfish Magic is a good choice for this application. Trust me 😃
Thanks for sharing!
Wow, That is something I would have never thought of. My first thought was that the wire and blade would get caught up in the hooks . Looked and sounded good in the water. One question is only good for off color water or can it be used in clearer water also?
It works in everything but i tend to lean towards off colored because it’s so obnoxious
I get it now let's throw a jingle bell.😁 Did you catch many fish with it?
I’ve had some good days
@@MattStefanFishing cool. Fishing is my zen space but I have to catch some to make it right. I have had a couple 3 fish days on 6000 acres of water and my only company were the eagles,
that was good enough.
This is like my idea when I put 5 zara spooks on a A-rig
Haha!
wow is all i can say. i;ll try it
Thanks!
I actually tried this mod at a private pond, first cast was a 3 lber had it down his throat.
I didnt cast it anymore as so not to educate these bass, my son and I fish together there, its definitely gonna give me an edge against him and his Neko Rig.....
Awesome!
👍
thanks for watching!
Could you make a video fishing with that particular lure?
Ill put it on my list!
@@MattStefanFishing of course I typed the comment before finishing the video lol
Problem I see is most fish attack from below. So they would strike the blades since it's in the way. I imagine alot of fish would hit and not hook up?
Blades above the crank wouldn't draw many strikes away from the trebles vs a spinner bait with its single hooks
Rides like a normal spinnerbait and hookups are good
Just subscribed thats interesting!
Awesome ! Thanks!
This might work in algae bloom water.
It does!
Great! how do you think jig spinner VS spinnerbait? thanks
they each have a place
@@MattStefanFishing Yes, would you please speak sth about what advantages and disadvantages between them？thanks
You need to design one of these, put your name on it, and cash in.
Probably should
Dang,@MattStefan-you KNOW I'm sittin here lopping off the head of an old spinnerbait in between typing this comment..Lols-Brilliant & a virtual hat tip to you ,sir..(I will say it proves you circuit guys got LOTS of time on your hands)Thats def the clackin sound 13 Fishing & 6th Sense were going after when developing the Jabber jaw & Axis 2.0
Thanks!
Will the wire straighten out?
I haven’t had a problem
Thanks for sharing, definitely will try it. I have a question kind off of topic, on the long weekend we went to fish, relatively clear water ( 5 - 10 feet ) and found out some of the fish follow the lures and suddenly stop it in front of our faces ( Largemouth and Peacock Bass ), Sunny Day, 90 F, we tried different lures, silent ones, lousy ones, natural colors, dark colors, fast moving ones, slow ones and couldn't found a pattern. Maybe is a topic of a future episode. Got tip Matt.
Try making a figure 8 at the end of your reeling...
I’ll put it on the list
Do you tie the line to the spinner bait wire or directly to the crankbait?
to the spinnerbait wire
@@MattStefanFishing Thanks for the quick reply.👍. I'll try it.
✨✝️😇✝️✨
Id like to see it on a Manns baby-1 I throw 1 year round
Give it a try!
