How to use Trout Magnets  

Ty 😊

Thanks Big Blue.... yes, it's very versatile, I appreciate the comment!

I'm gonna try this now with the float

Can u use the one from saltwater for trout?

Do you ever use it without a float? Like just by casting and retrieving it in like a regular jig.

Nice I’ll try this for sure

That seems like a great idea and would be very cool to try out. Thanks for sharing the tip! :)

Thanks for the comment and for sharing that tip! I'll have to try it sometime! :)

That's a good idea, thanks for sharing that tip! Here is a more detailed video I put together with some other tips and tricks: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYVRGelWT_U.html

Yes, they are very versatile with different fish, thanks for the comment!

Great, thanks for sharing your experience with us, those are good ideas!

That's awesome! What state are you fishing in? By the way... I do art on the side and here is some sun fish artwork I just posted on my Esty shop :) www.etsy.com/shop/jamminjamy/?etsrc=sdt

@@jamminjamyoutdoors4385 New York and I’ll have to check out the page

These can work for many other fish too like bass, sunfish, crappie, etc!

Thanks for the comment Graystone 304, for me I usually have success with it on the bottom but sometimes I have to be patient depending on how finicky the trout are. I know some fisherman have success dropping it from a float and letting it run downstream. You could try adding a worm or salmon egg to one to see if that entices the trout?

all i catch with these are crappie and occasionally bluegill

This was probably 4lb test

Not on the bottom for me. Used in only a few of feet to 8' of water near sundown yesterday. 5 bass, 6 crappie, and 1 large pumpkin seed in one hour in a local pond. I rigged it 20" to 22" below the trout magnet bobber. No swivel. Used the green with red flake on a gold trout magnet jig. I think a pack was $1.76 and 4 bobbers for $2.33 at Walmart. Look up online before you go as they are mot at every Walmart near me in Northern Ohio. Ran it down the bank about 3' to 5' out from the bank. With really light twitching motion every 3 seconds while very slowly reeling. Like 3 seconds to make one revolution reeling. You will need an ultra light rod and reel setup. Walmart has a $23.74 rod and reel combo that is awesome. I think it has 2 or 4 pound test. The rod is less that 5', but I was able to cast it 40'.

@@r.j.macready5620 thank man Apreciate it

@ryanwilson8047 You're very welcome. These videos sometimes waste beginner's time not showing all equipment, rigging, and the why.

Yes, they can be used to fish the bottom, I've caught many fish this way... usually when I get to a creek, lake, reservoir, or any body of water I will use one of these to test out and see what may be biting, panfish, bass, trout, etc. You can fish them off a bobber, or any way you like until you find what works for you. Here is a more detailed video I put together that will show you different techniques: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYVRGelWT_U.html

NIce, thanks for your tips and advice @r.j.macready5620!

Thanks for the note. Yes, those rooster tails work great!

It's the same thing. It's a weighted hook and a soft plastic.

You can fish them like that, you can also let them drift on the bottom and let the current take them down, you can fish them off a float, etc. I talk about some strategies in this video where I even show how I add worms and salmon eggs to them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYVRGelWT_U.html

If you live near eastern pa,I got a place for you. I'll guide u,because I'll be getting a few arm and elbow surgeries. I got a spot with tons of 20 plus. A few over 30, can be scheduled

Thanks for the tips! Your technique of bringing the hook out right before the tail sounds good and something I would like to test out. The official site says bringing the hook out at the split of the tail here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TMVvE3PXRzw.htmlsi=ujjyYfw5gG9Ga8m_&t=197 It sounds like you have some really good techniques though! Thanks!

Wow, thanks for the offer, I'll let you know if I'm out that way and have some time to fish :)

Thanks for the comments. I think it depends on the location and what the trout in your area are feeding off of. They won't work every time and in every condition but sometimes when the trout are in the mood for them they work well.

Some fish are picky about the presentation, it helps to have the hook right between the tail to keep it balanced but I'm sure it doesn't have to be perfect to catch some fish.

Here is a more detailed video I put together that will show you different techniques: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYVRGelWT_U.html

There are a few things you can do. You could use lighter fishing line, like 2-6 lb monofilament line. Your fishing rod and reel should be balanced for casting lighter tackle/lures like this. You can add some split shots or weights to your line about 12 inches above the trout magnet, or you can fish it below a bobber which will give you some casting weight. Does anyone else have any tips? If so, please let us know :)

You know you can add weights to things, right?

Yes the trout magnet hooks are weighted

It comes with the hooks you need but really a 1/64 hook, very small hook I didn’t look to hard but I couldn’t even find them at my store but they come in the kit

@mr.genesis4299 is right, the hooks come with the kit but if you run out you can get a weighted jig hook similar to these amzn.to/3pX3oBX (affiliate link) Here is a more detailed video I put together that will show you different techniques: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYVRGelWT_U.html

​@jamminjamyoutdoors4385 can you resend the link for the jigs

sure, the hooks come with the kit but if you run out you can get a weighted jig hook similar to these amzn.to/3pX3oBX (affiliate link)

Here is a more detailed video I put together that will show you the full video for trout magnet tips and tricks that may help? Sometimes switching colors or adding a work or salmon egg onto them helps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYVRGelWT_U.html Hope your fishing season goes well!

@@jamminjamyoutdoors4385 i'll have a look! Shortly after buying the trout magnet stuff, I went onto solely fly fishing, but I could sink some of these under an indicator (bobber) on the end of my fly line to see how they do. I primarily fish the provo river, the fish here have seen everything invented to catch fish and are extremely hard to fish now. Its common to go out for 5 or 6 hours and only have 2 fish in the net.

Wow! Provo River, I'm sure it is beautiful out there! Good luck on your season, let us know if you have any luck! :)

I have this other video here with different ways to use them that may help you? Check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYVRGelWT_U.html

These are the average sized Trout Magnets: 1/64 oz size 8 hooks... see full video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYVRGelWT_U.html

@@jamminjamyoutdoors4385 thanks

Have you tried using a split shot with them? Here is a more detailed video I put together with some tips and tricks: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYVRGelWT_U.html

Wow that's great! Yes it does work for different types of fish, thanks for letting us know!

Ok you fucking npc

What?

I seriously hope you are fucking joking

If you're talking about the California cancer and reproductive harm warning I've never seen anything not have that warning.

​@@user-dn7vy6qg1m California itself needs that warning. It's as much of a cancer as Florida is.

@adamstreetboyzz I have a longer video here with some different strategies to try, take a look, some of them may help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYVRGelWT_U.htmlsi=z2l7aVFFzbwIcPQp&t=184

I think similar to a wax moth although the split tail gives a little more movement

@@jamminjamyoutdoors4385 we always put 2 wax moths one over the hook completely over the knot, with the tail up and the other below, so they are head to head, but the lower one comes out of the hook 1/2 this works similar to a twister tail. Gives it really that action. Im not really a fan of softbaits in this style, because the fish often let loose before hookset. But you also have those who are really really soft and flavoured and all this, those will probably work but for me i found out that 2 wax moths really do the job. Theres a video in german that shows it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a0hgtzaBim4.htmlfeature=shared , tight lines !

Wow, very cool, thanks for that tip!

@@jamminjamyoutdoors4385 you can add a tungsten pearl from 0.5g or 1g above the first wax moth held up by 2 little rubber stops, so it sinks for jigging and stuff 👍and remember, you need a very thin hook for this so you wont make blubber from the moth, since they are fragile things. Tight lines!

Great, thanks for the advanced tips! :)
