FlipaYak,
First let me say welcome to the forum. I would urge you to use either 2 or 4 pound test with the trout magnet and also be sure to use a good quality leader. The size of the line makes a HUGE difference when using the trout magnet. I am posting a link to a video that goes into more depth. I am sure Alpha will weigh in on this also and confirm what I am telling you. Again welcome to the forum and catch a bunch.
