My rod is a Berkley Lightning Rod 6'6" UL action.
I don't use a swivel since the motive is stealth. Instead of the knot on trout magnets site my preferred is a Surgeons Knot for leader to main 2lb line.

My knot for the magnet is a Davy Wotton Knot:
I use that for all my flies too. Its very small and compact. The only thing I add is an extra turn in Step 3. After it passes through under the main line I wrap once around the main line before wetting then pulling down.
