Honestly I think you'll discover that the Mini Magnet works even better than the regular Trout Magnet when you try it. I've thought for a long time that the Trout Magnet was on the right track with the "dead drift" concept but it's just too darn big to match the most common insect forage that the trout are eating - especially the rainbows.

When I fly fish, one of the most effective Caney Fork flies I have is tied on a size 20 hook. Sometimes on tough days I've even had to go down to a 24 or 26. That is unbelievably small.
