Trout Magnets

[Bittle]

I've been looking at past threads about the magnet and I have some but haven't had any luck on them. What size are you guys throwing? I've been throwing the 1/64 and was figuring it was too big or too small.

Dunno what size they are...but 1/64oz is probably about right. Whatever comes in the kit. We hang them a couple feet under a little weighted cork float when we take our baby girls fishing..No treble hook to worry about...no bait mess, and they catch fish. Inspect the line tie often to make sure the knot is on top of the hook so the jig suspends horizontally...Fish dont seem to eat them if the knot is cocked forward with the jig hanging vertically. We usually start one with Orange or Pink, and the other with White at the trout parks. Sometimes more subdued colors work better but not that often. Good luck.

Bittle,

The tm needs to be close to the bottom within a foot or so unless it is too deep to do that. The deepest is set mine at is about six foot. You also MUST have fluorocarbon tippet. I use Rio Fluoroflex 5x or 6x, you can use just regular fluorocarbon line but use 2lb or less. The Rio tippet is a smaller diameter line than regular line. My colors I use are pink, salmon fix, cotton candy, and sassy. If you have any other questions just ask!

Are you guys throwin' them in Taney with the rubber bits attached ?
