Trout Magnet Help

[Danocaster]

OK.. UPDATE

This afternoon I went to a little pond I frequent and decided to give this Trout Magnet another shot

I tied on a silver / white TM , cast out 15-20 ft and in seconds had a very nice crappie on the line

landed and released that one... 2nd cast - an even bigger one.

next cast - HUGE Bluegill

this went on for almost 2 hours !! Nearly every cast brought in a nice fish - and the strikes happened almost immediately

never seen anything like it !!

I had a BLAST

Good job! Sounds like a lot of fun.

That tends to happen when fishing the trout magnets.

[QUOTE=Alphahawk;32089]You will find the black heads are best.....the silver and gold are plated and not as sharp as the black ones. They are coming out with a new hook so this should solve that problem. The TM sinks very slow. This time of year the fish will suspend and it doesn't have to sink too far for you to start working it and get hits. I will fish it without a split shot if there is no wind at all. Depending on the rod you can get a good cadence going and feel the jig head. I will always count down to the depth I want and then start the retrieve. If I am fishing an area I don't know the depth I will count down with several casts and sacrifice a couple of jigs to the bottom so I have an idea of the depth.

Hey Alpha, what is the sink rate of the TM on the jig weights you normaly fish with?? I have heard folks say they counted the lure down to "x" so the fish were so and so feet down, is this how you do it?
