Who uses trout magnets? 🤷‍♂️ Learn how to fish them in lakes & ponds here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2Ozd5yojcSFjqs

[@tonyhernandez4185]

🙋‍♂️

[@jacksonc120]

I love them

[@burick253]

I do a lot actually. Caught a bunch of small mouth as well as trout on those in small streams and creeks here in W. Wa.

[@fetchingphotos]

I like them because the eye where the line ties on keeps the jig level, and the hook curves up, so if it drags over a branch in the water it will not hook it a lot of the time. I don't like that they are so light it's hard to cast it out very far. I'll get one of those weighted bobbers and try that.

[@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

I bought a ton of them after seeing some youtube videos. Never caught anything with them in my homewater. Although i think with that weighter float they may fish better than with the float trout magnet sells specifically to be used with those micro jigs.

[@loganhill2713]

I had never used a trout magnet in my life, then after watching this video tried using them in a stream in West Virginia...caught two personal best rainbows!! Y’all have taught me a lot about trout fishing. Thanks!

[@tedhalko4266]

*yanks ultralight rod like he's pulling a marlin out of the deep sea* "How did I miss that one??"

[@BenderBendingRodrigue2]

He loved every single comment but this one... 😂😂😂

[@jeremycortright5788]

Lmfao. That’s me this season..... little hot on the yank 🙄. I’ve gotten some good ones though.

[@pmhauer]

I’ve watched dozens of their vids. I love how they always run through and re-educate me on the basics. It’s like shooting free throws before a game or stopping in to the pro shop to work on my swing.

[@stansova3138]

Been using Trout Magnets for 2 years now, come home with fish almost every time, even on dead days, I catch at least 2 small ones.

[@deebz22]

Where r the pics

[@gregorykim3107]

Thank you for mentioning cutting the extra line into the tackle box. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people just toss their broken lines into the water...

[@kenwilliams2219]

Love Trout Magnets. Even got some small mouths with them this summer from my kayak. Thanks for sharing.

[@sempernarc]

Side note: these work really well on just about every fish, crappie, bluegill/sunfish, and small bass

[@deepiper6529]

I love Trout and Panfish Magnets. That same brown color he is using here has worked great for me. I have caught trout, bass, crappie, bluegills/panfish, and catfish on them in bodies of water from small community fishing lakes and ponds, to creeks and rivers. I use a smaller unweighted bobber and an ultra-light setup.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

I use trout magnets all the time and caught probably thousands of fish off of it. But I have never used it on a bobber, just on 2 or 4 lb mono. Maybe I will try it the right way some time

[@bradhunkins4848]

I use them all the time. Great lure never hooked deep! Good for all species as well. Great lure and company

[@SledorFish]

One of my favorite fish! I use a fly rod with a floating, Knudsen Spider in yellow or black, and a strip retrieve on the surface. But they will also hammer small spinners on the surface, which is what I have my nephews use. Hopefully WDFW won't screw us over on the season next summer because it was closed until Sept 16 this year.

[@ramzcoldlampin5460]

I just bought my first rod and reel as an adult, and these magnets caught my eye. I can’t wait to try them out.

[@seanpickard8499]

Addicted Fishing gave me all the info I need, since watching I pulled in 3 Trout and 2 nice sized bass. Within 10 days after watching videos.

[@dvredleg9622]

These are my Favorite little jig ever! We use the trout magnet bobbers too. They are tiny and work well with our 4lb test. They slay in lakes rivers and streams. Been fishing them for the last 5 years. If we are not trolling we were throwing them. Shad love them too

[@Ananias03]

They are called "crappie jigs" in the Southern US. Love the idea of using the cork for presentation in a small stream. We have a variety of good eating fish in our small streams and i cant wait to try this one them. Great tip thanks!

[@timyoung9696]

Thanks for all the tips and videos Marlin I really appreciate it as well as the others who are addicted to your Channel. A big shout out to Jordan

[@aaronarjona7292]

Those trout magnets are fun to use. For me they work. Love the video guys. Keep it up and keep those videos coming.

[@dmitri5744]

I use these all the time! Favorite color is white! And I almost always hook just the tiniest price of worm on the hook! Absolute killer! I’d give a little advice though, that bobber looked a little bit to big, I’d recommend the trout magnet bobber, always done good for me

[@haraldholmgang9810]

Yep! White is my go to as well with the trout magnet bobber. Also Bubble Gum, Bison, and Purple Haze.

[@rich_v]

My nephews love using that thing. They catch everything on it. Bass, bluegill, crappie, yellow perch, and of course trout. When the big boys aren't biting, they'll put the magnet on and start catching the smaller fish.

[@Brooklyn.NYC.]

Great video. I use the trout magnets all the time. Love them. They always work for me.

[@travisrolando8205]

You guys always do make me more and more interested in going fishing!

[@raymondlacasse2407]

I agree with you 100% on the Weighted Foam Cigar Bobber, I only use those bobbers(unless im going for catfish/bowfin) because while resting vertically its easiest to differentiate between types of bites. Also because of sleek shape it gives little resistance to a fish pulling it under, so you almost never get fish spitting out before you set the hook. Also love how easily they move in the water, so you can use them for fresh bait or artificial.

[@hunterdan2002]

Been using these forever, most of the time, it's all I carry when fishing a stream. Rarely ever use the bobbers though, I usually just cast and retrieve at a steady rate twitching the line with my finger.

[@robbiewright775]

Love seeing these videos, would also like to see an ice fishing tutorial this winter

[@johndonovan7334]

Just picked trout magnets and glad I found your site. Learned how to use them. I fish salt and fresh water. Use spinning and fly rods for both. Will try them on fly rod. Enjoyed vid.

[@cameronstewart1900]

love the magnets very effective all year round

[@NWRuss]

Used these for years, they work great! 👌🏼🐟

[@robertmounsey4682]

I use Trout and Crappie Magnets. In addition to those fish, other panfish also bite. My favorite bait when I'm using ultralight or even light setups

[@mikebenavides7708]

Great video Marlin. Nice tip on catching tag end for peeps who dont think about that!

[@blacktailbowhunter0135]

I love that rod for twitching jigs for coho in frog water. So much fun

[@shaunlehman664]

Blacktailbowhunter 01 the ultra light lol

[@freddy8942]

Tried this today after seeing the video. Hit my first trout in a river. Thanks for the tips.

[@DemonRat71]

Been looking at these. Now I'm going to get these. Great video.

[@Dreekmoney]

I saw your comment on Outdoor Chef Life and figured I would check out your site. I'm so glad I did.

[@ryleehendricks4401]

Props to you man, you have some really good information in this video, you deserve many more followers keep up the good work man!!

[@outlawfishbumz755]

I use them for panfish trout bass steelhead and even surf perch. They are deadly when twitched like your twitchin for salmon same concept. I've used them float fishing fishing for skinny water steel. You can also use the jig heads and pair them with 3 inch power worms and swim and twitch them back and or use a float for trout in creeks rivers or lakes.

[@noobfishing101]

Great video. Love how you show the full setup!

[@bobgomavitz1330]

I suggested these to you all a while back after watching your top methods for catching trout vid. I fish Em under a bobber. Over 200 trout in a day with them. Catch everything with them too. 6 species in a day many times. Thanks for the video!

[@kevinmcbee9384]

I have used these for around 15 years, most effective with rainbows in WV. We used to steelhead fish in Erie, PA and had alot of success with gold colored bodies...even on days where nothing else worked, we caught them with gold and pink trout magnets. We also straight jigged (no float) and found the steelhead were much more aggressive toward the magnet. The straight jigging only worked well in the less rough or almost still water. I have a trout magnet kit in every vest and box.

[@martydanzer4376]

This is a first...something I've not heard of or fished! Yet! 😉

[@WilliamRockseo]

Fantastic video I've been using these for quite some time and love them.

[@nomaddamon670]

Now I know how to put a bobber on my line!! Thanks man!

[@yellowjacketaz]

I love trout magnet I have a list of fish species I have caught with them I’m like a species #9 it’s my go to lure

[@MichaelGile19]

If your having issues with you hook set, flip you bobber... Old timer showed me it crappie fishing years ago, made all the difference in the world. Also adds alittle more side action if you do any twitching with the magnet coming off the lead free end.. Proved equally effective with trout

[@kystreamoutfitters]

30 size reel seems a bit heavy..but larger arbors cast further..I'm running 500 & 1000 Shimanos ..

[@shawngaske1229]

My name is Shawn and I just bought a trout magnet kit. Thanks so much for making this video just for me 🤣

[@johnnewman8431]

Hell yeah bro o fish em often they do work well. Especially ice fishing. Tight lines.

[@fishingandstuff3639]

Thanks for the video. These things are deadly. I just subscribed to your channel. Really like your content

[@erickcordova4452]

I used trout magnet this last weekend and caught my limite of fish in less than one and a half hour

[@haydenhodgson5948]

I just got a huge pack of trout magnets for Christmas, exited to use them

[@Moist_Accident]

Used these with crazy success. Newly opened stocked pond, I arrived late and still caught the first 2 fish over 30 other people. Also, for flouro, I recommend the San Diego jam knot. It is tested and proven to be one of the few that can keep the full test weight on the line with better over every knot.

[@freesteez3]

Never had much luck with these magnets. Used pink and I think I used yellow. Like Marlin says at the end works best where there's plenty of fish lol yeah that's about right

[@lilholographic722]

I’ve had great success with them going to use them this weekend

[@nicsluckytw1]

i like your presentation, and that you know how to work the river! I am new to Utah and there are lots of rivers and lakes, they stock trout all over the place! fishing for trout is crazy good! thanks for the tip on the magnet - never used it before but will give it a try!

[@Twyler68]

Nice video, good explanations on how to set it up and the use of the weighted bobber. New sub here 👍🏻

[@want2boutdoors274]

I love trout magnets... I use them for EVERYTHING... still havent found the ultimate color yet.. but I hear its grey and white

[@KakebigbearAK]

Oh man I can not wait to let my kiddos loose with the trout magnet. Thanks

[@KrankyKrampus4806]

Love a tutorial with some fish action!

[@AnthonyRubeoOutdoors]

I use Cabela’s 1-1/2” tubes. They catch trout, crappie, bass, bluegill and even War Mouth

[@jimmyc451]

try the Berkley atomic teasers, they are deadly

[@ellistontz7497]

My friend caught a 8 lb channel cat on a trout magnet. They’re good for panfish too

[@sacpig6839]

SHAWN!! A fish was caught during an informative video, WHAAAA?

[@on3voice840]

just bought this same exact one last night at walmart. can't wait to use it. same color...

[@PerkBuilders]

You’re in my sneaker catch and release native steelie spot! They poke in and hold there when the waters high on the big river. No tellum where it is but it’s one of my favorite secrets when all else fails

[@outdoorsanimalsandmusic3014]

I just fished the ca sierras for the trout opener and used a 1/64 ounce jig head and just cheap bass pro crappie max grubs in pink and slayed harder than anyone using bait! Plus they are lipped everytime so I released hundreds of stockers over 6 days. Had a fly guy tell me “it’s not hard to catch these planters” while he caught one to my ten fish. He walked off after that. Lol. Oh the trick was using a bobber. Everyone with me thought I was nuts but by mid day the first day of fishing everyone was using one.

[@popeyethesailorman7850]

I use them for trout, crappie and big bluegill, very versatile bait.

[@patrickkistner3731]

I just landed a cut throat with just the trout magnet jigging it in a creek ! Worked like a charm

[@TennZen77]

I love Okuma too. Great tackle.

[@maxlbstore2652]

Awesome video! Slayed some monster trout with your strategy

[@pphickey]

Was using these bream fishing. Ended up with a 3lb bass.

[@samanthaking828]

5/6 years ago I was following My husband up the River (I don't fish) I happen to see a orange thing hung on a rock. Got it unhung and had a trout magnet (We had never seen one) Passed it to husband- he used it and Bam within 2 hours he had daily limit 😁

[@undergroundchuckeytennesse2526]

I even use the tiniest one on a fly rod with a strike indicator. Never used a weighted bobber. I believe they have become so popular that my best luck with them is in areas not heavily fished. That could be just 50 yards away from the well known pools. In a pond, I sometimes use ultra lite spinning equipment and put two on line. Spacing them about 18 inches apart and using two different colors. the creek I fish most of the time is single hook and barbless which really challenges your skill to land a trout, especially when you have one that wants to jump a bunch or run straight at you. TM work along with the mouse tails too. Thanks for sharing and very good info too. They do suggest that you keep the TM straight on hook and bring the hook end out between the split tail.

[@captainrylenaviation29]

It is deadly bait.. I use them alot. With JDM rod for sensitivity and pair it with Polyester line and shock leader.. killer in all panfish.

[@scottjensen5905]

Go with the small thill float. Nice catch. Thanks for all your vids. It's helped me so much

[@outdoorswithwaynek7966]

Nice video I have used the trout magnet for trout and panfish. It's all so nice to see you fishing a stream other videos gys are fishing a stock pond. That's not real fishing.

[@juliusarnold13]

When I was younger I did a lot of fishing but I don't use it anymore but it's still fun

[@PublikSerpnt]

These really do work!

[@tedgaddy7398]

I’m new to trout fishing and live on the Nashville ten area, he for helpful info

[@Nattyuce685]

Using this setup today at willow beach in AZ let’s gooo trout life lol

[@ronuhlenhopp9368]

I wrap floss on the jig hook shank, apply super glue to the thread floss, then slide the plastic body in place to keep the body secure. Another way is to apply a dab of hot melt glue to the hook shank, then slide the magnet body on over the shank and glue dollup so the magnet body will grip better and stay in place after a strike. A third way is to use a UV light and the special super glue that is activated by the UV light. Do this at home and you will find you can spend more time fishing and less time fussing with baiting your hooks.

[@sethradus9858]

Gorgeous cutty! Been using trout magnets but haven’t had any success yet. Haven’t given up, though. Still working on it cause I know they eat it up.

[@brianwhitmore3985]

I use the "Crappie Magnets" which are just slightly larger green transparent with speckles. I catch bluegill and bass almost every time

[@stevenwilliams5459]

Another thing I do is always cast upstream! The fast the current the better the action on these baits also. Crappie and bluegill love them also

[@JohnTaylor-vw8nd]

We catch lake rainbow trout 16-24inch all day long with the magnet. Pink and Chartreuse are the best colors here(wyoming).

[@timothymerritt659]

I was introduced to trout magnet bout 10 yrs ago maybe lil longer than that but we was catching trout when nobody else was catching them

[@charliehustle2591]

Nice. Was planning on picking up some of these anyway.

[@jrodgers2034]

Great Video. I use the Mini-Trout Magnet for fly rod and it has become my favorite for trout fishing. Only suggestion is your strike indicator. Try AirLock because they are so much easier to attach and adjust than the one you were using. Adds greatly to the easy of changing depths. GREAT VIDEO!!

[@extorter]

nice recommendation on those airlock strike indicators, they look pretty rad.

[@mostmerculief4787]

I use them.i have put them in my roe cure for added scent.the trout magnet works!

[@nancyharper6135]

how do you do that?

[@SuperBaconFishing]

I recently caught a 4 lb Large mouth Bass on 2 lb flouro, no bobbers, so you can actually jig the trout magnet, super light drag, I've caught everything minus Trout on it haha!! Will try bobbers now!

[@hardtomello364]

I recommend using 6 pound fluorocarbon for trout it’s amazing and I like to use straight fluoro instead a leader

[@SasquatchTX]

Love trout magnets - I stick with natural colors 90% of the time, and go to chartreuse the other 10%. I've tried the pink stuff, and the double colors, but the single color naturals (brown, pumpkin green, black, white, and smoke) outfish the wild stuff by far. Being in Oregon, we have to be careful which streams you use these on, because most streams have bait bans, and Oregon in its infinite wisdom sees soft plastics like these as "bait" and not a lure, so I don't fish these in streams much except in a handful that allow bait fishing. They work really well on trout in those streams - but they work even better targeting bluegill, crappie, and yellow perch in ponds and lakes. I typically fish 2 or 4lb line or a 2-4lb bumper with 10lb braid, and I fish a two-jig setup with different color bodies on each jig, 12-18 inches apart. I usually use Thill's quill type floats, or the smallest Aero float, pinching on a couple BB shot if necessary for balance. Drift fishing like this - you don't really need to add any action - the current will jiggle the setup plenty - think of it like a fly fisherman drifting nymphs or wet flies. For pond/lake fishing I cast, let it sit, twitch, and pause. This is a killer setup for trout in the high mountain lakes too. Best trout I've caught on these was an 18 inch cuttie that actually came out of Takenitch down on the central coast, but I've done really well in the coast range mountain lakes and some up on Mt. Hood on the typical 10-14 inch fish. When the fish are hungrier, Leland makes the larger "Crappie Magnet" which is the same lure just upsized and fished on 1/32 or 1/16th ounce heads.

[@mcsqueezyboi2806]

I caught a 2.3 pound bass and .98 pound bluegill with trout magnet today......so yeah they work

[@14wildlife4life]

I've caught some nice trout with trout magnets. Not a fan of the bobber but have used it. I prefer using 2lb mono on an ultra light rig. I lightly bump it as I reel in slowly. It is deadly even web others aren't catching

[@Tegart.pottery]

12:50 the trout feeds right where he’s going to cast next and he doesn’t see it! Ha. Nice informative video. Thanks!

[@fishingoutdoors4427]

Nice info. 12:49 can see one jump out the water behind you. Good stuff.

[@drleo2641]

Trout magnets are best on tiny streams just like that. The kids can catch lots of sunnies, crappies, large and smallmouth bass, perch. Everyone loves it

[@bushpilot223]

Those bobbers are my favorite. Unfortunately when I went fishing for the first time this year, she didn't float anymore. But it is at least 6 years old, so I can't complain. But with the quarantine, I can't go buy a new one right now 😭 stuck with the old red and whites for now.

[@diannebeal8730]

I use them all the time, especially for crappie

[@johnwayne6608]

Good video. ..I prefer the actual little Trout Magnet bobbers best easy on off and no line friction from sliding them through metal loops of the other types...just my opinion

[@danielcole8609]

A water bobber with a dry or wet fly would have worked really good right there too

[@plasticsonlybassboss6863]

I have actually caught a 5lb bass on a trout magnet. It was wild🔥
