The BEST TROUT MAGNET JIG HEAD!!! And its SUPER CHEAP

[@johnh4169]

I have been using these same jigheads with my trout magnets for a few months and they work great, I really like them paired up with the EPF swim as well. I bought a few packs of them because the pond close to where I work is full of snags and I lose a few setups everytime I fish there. Great video!!

[@Brunnen_Gee]

I like putting Trout Magnets on Road Runner under spinners. That works very well for me.

The Trout Magnet's shad dart jig head is designed to be balanced with the Trout Magnet body so that it falls horizontally in the water. This horizontal fall is a big part of what makes Trout Magnets work so well. Never tried with these jig heads, but I wonder if the added weight on the head puts them into a dive on the fall. The Trout Magnet jig also has a small barb on the hook to hold the plastic body in place. Using a light action rod with 2lb line, they will cast pretty far, you can use a bb split shot to cast further if needed. If you're fishing for trout, using a fluorocarbon leader line also helps, trout are visual strikers, and they can't see the fluorocarbon as easily.

[@3gcraftsman]

Where would you place the bb split shot in this scenario?

[@howard7997]

@@3gcraftsman It depends on the water depth, but in general 12-18" inches above the Trout Magnet. Most instances it's not necessary to use, but when casting into wind or when a further cast is needed the added weight can help.

Thnx Guy, imma try some of these! Z man micro finess 1/30 jig head has been working great for me crappie fishing, the bait keeper is subtle & doesn't tear up your bait! Also have some bg-1 jig heads and yesterday is the 1st time i cought some crappie on them & they are great! Z man 1/20 & bg-1 have been slaying the bluegill and ShellCracker.

[@SETSO-4L]

I’d argue the BG-1 jig head is the best for trout magnets.

[@watchman316ly]

What does the BG-1 jig head look like?

[@THEREELTEST]

never heard of them

[@SETSO-4L]

@@THEREELTEST try it out then, there’s other models out too now. .6 gram, .75 gram, 1 gram, 1.25 gram and 1.5 gram models rn with different hook options. On i-fish KZbin channel.

[@davidnewton3064]

​@THEREELTEST that jig was just recently released by i_fish, another ultralight channel here on KZbin. But I think he admits the Diawa ajing jigs are the best. These Chinese knockoffs are pretty similar and I would probably go with these over the BG1. Although his jigs ship from here in the States I believe.

[@atoadigi]

New sub, thank you for the review! These look great, I just purchased a few packs in each size!!! I do a lot of ultra light fishing and just being able to cast the further distance with the heavier jig heads, yet the hook size remains the same is awesome for us bank anglers!!!!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

I’ve definitely gotta buy these jigheads. I think the hook seems a little more stout too which is nice but the big thing for me is the shape of the head and the eyes!

[@RonMTube]

I've been using these for years, along with the Gekebijin and more recently the i_fish BG. The one you show are sold under multiple brand names on AE and like you say, that extra 0.2 g makes a huge difference in casting with BFS. The hooks on the Gekebijin are sharper and lighter wire which provides better penetration and some hope of bending the hook out on light line when you snag but the AE jig heads are cheap enough that I don't worry about breaking off. The BG jig heads are also sharper than the AEs and somewhere between the Daiwa and AE in wire gauge and seem to have hook points that are the most resistant to dulling. All good stuff.

[@legione1capone]

Thanks for this! This is exactly what i was looking for this morning!

[@jamesreck8476]

Nice, thanks for sharing. I usually just use Wapsi 1/64 plain, no collar ball heads.

[@JWoodcock]

Since I started fishing I've been a total Leland Lures fanboy. After my order last night, I think I'll have every color and kit they've made in my collection 😂 Mini Magnets, Trout Slayers, and Crappie Magnets as well. I'm a gear head and there's no way I'm escaping it in this hobby. I'd like to make up some molds and start casting my own jigheads to mess around with.

[@tmise50]

Appreciate this video! I just ordered two packs of each size. Very realistic and I know they will increase catch ratio!

[@benruegge9100]

I caught my 1st fish on a truck magnet last week It was a black croppy on my shimano slx b f s first fish on the trout magnet first fish on the s l x

[@gregchilders7643]

The head design of the trout magnet is called a shad dart .the flat angle in front is design to deflect the hook up when bouncing off Rocky river bottoms

[@fishinfool63]

The shape give the lure a different drift and swim…right from the website

[@FlavorfulGaming]

​@@fishinfool63it's a shad dart bro. That's what they do. They are also literally designed to be used vertically or floated off a bobber.... Because they understand 1/32 is a very impractical weight for allot of people.

[@rvfishingyet]

Solid video for the trout magnet and really any 5cm/2 inch or less soft bait. I think the 2 smaller sizes would be good option in particular the 1.2 with a bit more current or wind. Great stuff!

[@THEREELTEST]

Im going to try the bigger heads with the trout magnet to see if they will get bit.

[@deandregibson542]

Every time I lose a gekkabijin jighead it makes me want to leave the lake. I will definitely order some of these.

[@THEREELTEST]

especially since you have to order replacements from Japan

[@Sporophore_Hunter]

Ooo I so need to get a bunch of these!

[@leswallis8158]

I use Bobby Garland 1/48 jigheads for bluegill & 1/32 & 1/16 for crappie

[@andrewsales5417]

Love the intro! Religion fishin

[@mattfleming86]

Lead is very malleable and easy to manipulate. Everyone needs a small pair of side cutters anyways because you will eventually bury hooks where you dont want them. Been there done that. Anyways, girdle the little retaining of a regular jig head all the way around, then snip off that little cylinder. Use super glue on the hook shank and slide your plastic up. IMHO it seems to hold as good or better than many factory "lumps" anyways. It prevents the big swollen choad of plastic with some jig+plastic setups too so a better looking lure all around. Use one size up from what you normally would as you are removing some of the lead.

[@mikeroll9868]

So that rod is it a new version of the ave hawk venom. I just bought an Ace Hawk venom 7’ to use for corvina, corvina and bonefish here in San Diego. I too have been buying jig heads from Alt express. Those seem like a good find, . I am using five pound braid and 4 pound Fluor with my Dark would ultra. I hav ‘t fished them yet as aI just got them . If I hook into one of the spotted bay bass I am wondering how it will hold up? Lol I will find out. I also have the pisicifun carbon reel and the Shimano majestic to bfs rod try in case that outfit is too light. I got these all base on your videos. Going today to try some of it out. I wish I has some lakes with crappie like you have.

[@THEREELTEST]

the crappie catches were with the AG Venom. I didnt know there were previous versions. The Mayan Ciclid was caught on an Abu Garcia BFS rod

Hi. Thought you might like to know; KZbin did not notify me about the posting of this video even though I an a subscriber and the notification bell is selected.

just know that I usually upload a video at least once a week.

[@wallykearsey8029]

Can you hook up under a float to achive the same action

[@JWoodcock]

Man I'm sure that 1/8 ounce size would suite the larger Crappie Magnets perfectly.

I have even used the with ned jigheads . I have caught a lot if fish rigged up that way .

Hello.I would like to ask for advice. I received as gift Daiwa Luna 103l with which rod will be works the best I mean about lure weight. Can't find any info about Thanks a lot. I will really appreciate answer. Big fan

[@THEREELTEST]

The rod should be chosen by what technique you are fishing and the lure weights you fish

[@yakfishin4912]

So whats wrong with the jig head that comes with the magnet?

[@THEREELTEST]

nothing, but these add weight for better casting and they look more realistic

Hi Another question The fishing reel and bait caster which you used on this video, can you send me info or link for this BFS gear. You did mention that the reel is prototype, does it get released yet

Can I ask, ?. Why do you always seem to load your reels with 4 lb Mono, I was under the impression that BFS Fishing was all about Braid/Fluorocarbon . I am a novice that is why I am asking .

[@Off-The-Dome-Kobe]

I want an honest opinion, my friend told me that fly fishing catches way more fish than bfs and that bfs is for idiots what do you think about between the 2 , I love bfs and think people just aren’t educated.

[@Teddy-se8qb]

sounds like something a fly fisherman would say lol

[@Off-The-Dome-Kobe]

@@Teddy-se8qb I don’t know dude I have nothing against fly fishing I jus think it’s easier to bfs fish and it’s more easier and very affective if you have a touch for it

[@THEREELTEST]

Tell him that people who worry about how other people are fishing and what they are fishing with usually use tampons

[@ReelAnglerReviews]

​@Off-The-Dome-Kobe Bfs is way easier...however, the presentation imo is much better. With floating line I am able to drift trout magnets while i retrieve line and it absolutely slays fish!
