[@bigbluebear6980]

My favorite lure! Not just for trout but for crappie, perch, smallmouth, and bass. I use a float and pop it every few seconds.

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Thanks Big Blue.... yes, it's very versatile, I appreciate the comment!

[@moextrippy2000]

I'm gonna try this now with the float

[@nonstopfootball3655]

Can u use the one from saltwater for trout?

[@tonyherdina9142]

Do you ever use it without a float? Like just by casting and retrieving it in like a regular jig.

[@willbutler2639]

Nice I’ll try this for sure

[@cesarpagan4640]

I fly fish with trout magnets little bit of superglue to keep the trout magnet in place on the hook, but they work great for fly fishing especially for nimpfishing

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

That seems like a great idea and would be very cool to try out. Thanks for sharing the tip! :)

[@drewferd2720]

Love this lure! Works better than worms sometimes. I tear off one of the legs when the bite is slow to give it a little more action.

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Thanks for the comment and for sharing that tip! I'll have to try it sometime! :)

[@deepiper6529]

These and Panfish Magnets have worked in several different bodies of water for me. I have caught trout, different varieties of panfish, bass, and catfish using them.

[@Shrike456]

I hooked into a huge steelhead when trout opened this year on a bright pink trout magnet. Was crazy fun but I wasn't able to land it.

[@Hamiltime]

Thanks for pointing out the difference in males vs females. I’ve always wondered about that!

[@Lemurai]

Bass love these things.

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Yes, they are very versatile with different fish, thanks for the comment!

[@ryanwilson8047]

Are these used to fish the bottom. Also could they be used in lake, reservoir

[@r.j.macready5620]

Not on the bottom for me. Used in only a few of feet to 8' of water near sundown yesterday. 5 bass, 6 crappie, and 1 large pumpkin seed in one hour in a local pond. I rigged it 20" to 22" below the trout magnet bobber. No swivel. Used the green with red flake on a gold trout magnet jig. I think a pack was $1.76 and 4 bobbers for $2.33 at Walmart. Look up online before you go as they are mot at every Walmart near me in Northern Ohio. Ran it down the bank about 3' to 5' out from the bank. With really light twitching motion every 3 seconds while very slowly reeling. Like 3 seconds to make one revolution reeling. You will need an ultra light rod and reel setup. Walmart has a $23.74 rod and reel combo that is awesome. I think it has 2 or 4 pound test. The rod is less that 5', but I was able to cast it 40'.

[@r.j.macready5620]

@ryanwilson8047 You're very welcome. These videos sometimes waste beginner's time not showing all equipment, rigging, and the why.

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Yes, they can be used to fish the bottom, I've caught many fish this way... usually when I get to a creek, lake, reservoir, or any body of water I will use one of these to test out and see what may be biting, panfish, bass, trout, etc. You can fish them off a bobber, or any way you like until you find what works for you. Here is a more detailed video I put together that will show you different techniques: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4q5g3qbobyHlbc

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

NIce, thanks for your tips and advice @r.j.macready5620!

[@whitebisonoutdoors]

I might be using it wrong cause I haven’t had any luck with them. Been using rooster tails almost exclusively

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

[@graystone3048]

I know many people love these things but I have never caught a trout on one.

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Thanks for the comment Graystone 304, for me I usually have success with it on the bottom but sometimes I have to be patient depending on how finicky the trout are. I know some fisherman have success dropping it from a float and letting it run downstream. You could try adding a worm or salmon egg to one to see if that entices the trout?

[@adensma6868]

all i catch with these are crappie and occasionally bluegill

[@agreenr6915]

Those hooks also work great with curly tail grubs and small swim baits

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Great, thanks for sharing your experience with us, those are good ideas!

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

I got swamped with advertisements and video recommendations for these. So I bought some. I think I used them twice, and didn't catch anything. They're sitting in the back of my truck right now.

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Here is a more detailed video I put together that will show you the full video for trout magnet tips and tricks that may help? Sometimes switching colors or adding a work or salmon egg onto them helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4q5g3qbobyHlbc Hope your fishing season goes well!

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

@@jamminjamyoutdoors i'll have a look! Shortly after buying the trout magnet stuff, I went onto solely fly fishing, but I could sink some of these under an indicator (bobber) on the end of my fly line to see how they do. I primarily fish the provo river, the fish here have seen everything invented to catch fish and are extremely hard to fish now. Its common to go out for 5 or 6 hours and only have 2 fish in the net.

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Wow! Provo River, I'm sure it is beautiful out there! Good luck on your season, let us know if you have any luck! :)

[@aleclowe2114]

How do you cast this when it’s so light

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

There are a few things you can do. You could use lighter fishing line, like 2-6 lb monofilament line. Your fishing rod and reel should be balanced for casting lighter tackle/lures like this. You can add some split shots or weights to your line about 12 inches above the trout magnet, or you can fish it below a bobber which will give you some casting weight. Does anyone else have any tips? If so, please let us know :)

[@ragnaroksangel]

You know you can add weights to things, right?

[@Shrike456]

​@@jamminjamyoutdoors A ultralight/light action rod is pretty much required for these as well (unless you're adding split shot, but that would mess with the lures action).

[@OneCreated]

How do you fish em? Do you pop every once and a while just like a normal soft plastic worm

[@thatswildokay]

It's the same thing. It's a weighted hook and a soft plastic.

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

You can fish them like that, you can also let them drift on the bottom and let the current take them down, you can fish them off a float, etc. I talk about some strategies in this video where I even show how I add worms and salmon eggs to them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4q5g3qbobyHlbc

[@sukmayamangar6531]

Does it have to be perfect

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Some fish are picky about the presentation, it helps to have the hook right between the tail to keep it balanced but I'm sure it doesn't have to be perfect to catch some fish.

[@JH70173]

Are these just for trout lures for other fish, too? My lake does not have trout.

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

These can work for many other fish too like bass, sunfish, crappie, etc!

[@scottierobert3548]

I've used them in rivers and creeks near me, watched videos on how to rig and fish them but still hardly any bites. Then switch to gold panther Martin and bites every cast. And catch some nice trout. Overrated

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Thanks for the comments. I think it depends on the location and what the trout in your area are feeding off of. They won't work every time and in every condition but sometimes when the trout are in the mood for them they work well.

[@Toggledogel]

So good sun fish caught 16 in one day

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

That's awesome! What state are you fishing in? By the way... I do art on the side and here is some sun fish artwork I just posted on my Esty shop :) www.etsy.com/shop/jamminjamy/?etsrc=sdt

They don't work for me, i never seem to get the tail action to work

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

[@erichansen7642]

Is that a weighted hook bud.

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Yes the trout magnet hooks are weighted

[@ch1ckenphat514]

What pound test line you using?

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

This was probably 4lb test

[@aviationboy1]

lol I just catch crappie with them. My favorite trout lure is a rooster tail so the fish can’t see the hook

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Thanks for the note. Yes, those rooster tails work great!

[@brandonbauder6157]

U have it on wrong tbh, u gotta bring the hook out right before the split,or else the bunching takes away from performing when the fish want finesse. Not being that person at all, it's all I use besides rooster tails and worms.that body is best at being straight. I wade in the water and cast down behind the tail of the hole. Then slowly bring it up but suspended in the pocket. The straight body really makes a difference in the performance when you want to place it amd keep it suspended near that little tiny spot where they should be.

[@brandonbauder6157]

If you live near eastern pa,I got a place for you. I'll guide u,because I'll be getting a few arm and elbow surgeries. I got a spot with tons of 20 plus. A few over 30, can be scheduled

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Thanks for the tips! Your technique of bringing the hook out right before the tail sounds good and something I would like to test out. The official site says bringing the hook out at the split of the tail here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/in65p3hphb2FsNksi=ujjyYfw5gG9Ga8m_&t=197 It sounds like you have some really good techniques though! Thanks!

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Wow, thanks for the offer, I'll let you know if I'm out that way and have some time to fish :)

[@edyfofashow]

What hook did you use on this?

[@BreakingBogeyGolf]

It comes with the hooks you need but really a 1/64 hook, very small hook I didn’t look to hard but I couldn’t even find them at my store but they come in the kit

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

@mr.genesis4299 is right, the hooks come with the kit but if you run out you can get a weighted jig hook similar to these amzn.to/3pX3oBX (affiliate link) Here is a more detailed video I put together that will show you different techniques: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4q5g3qbobyHlbc

[@buddahmayne9273]

​@jamminjamyoutdoors4385 can you resend the link for the jigs

sure, the hooks come with the kit but if you run out you can get a weighted jig hook similar to these amzn.to/3pX3oBX (affiliate link)

[@neilwiththedeal]

They are light as a feather and my light rod can’t handle them!

[@LandonMcKinney-su3ndc]

@@jamminjamyoutdoors thanks

[@brox2098]

Sometimes, I like putting a small amount of powerbait or crappie nibble on the hook. Not too much because that could throw off the balance.

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

That's a good idea, thanks for sharing that tip! Here is a more detailed video I put together with some other tips and tricks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4q5g3qbobyHlbc

Just caught. Monster small mouth on one

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Wow that's great! Yes it does work for different types of fish, thanks for letting us know!

[@JeffMcgee-tz1ne]

Horsetooth guy?!!

[@zacharywilliams6772]

Wow what you just did with a rubber ppl have been doing that with nightcrawlers for 6 centuries

[@-_-_-....]

Basically a fake wax moth

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

I think similar to a wax moth although the split tail gives a little more movement

[@-_-_-....]

@@jamminjamyoutdoors we always put 2 wax moths one over the hook completely over the knot, with the tail up and the other below, so they are head to head, but the lower one comes out of the hook 1/2 this works similar to a twister tail. Gives it really that action. Im not really a fan of softbaits in this style, because the fish often let loose before hookset. But you also have those who are really really soft and flavoured and all this, those will probably work but for me i found out that 2 wax moths really do the job. Theres a video in german that shows it kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2HLmKewlqeco5Yfeature=shared , tight lines !

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Wow, very cool, thanks for that tip!

[@-_-_-....]

@@jamminjamyoutdoors you can add a tungsten pearl from 0.5g or 1g above the first wax moth held up by 2 little rubber stops, so it sinks for jigging and stuff 👍and remember, you need a very thin hook for this so you wont make blubber from the moth, since they are fragile things. Tight lines!

[@jamminjamyoutdoors]

Great, thanks for the advanced tips! :)
