Has anyone tried the Trout Magnets with small jig heads?
I have ordered some for this spring UL Spinning and fly rod casting.

Regards,
FK

I don't do alot of trout fishing, but I have caught trout on small jig heads, #10 or #12 , with both soft plastic trailers and marabou.

Haven't tried the trout magnets yet, but plan on getting some this year. I've read they are killer for bluegill.

FK, are you not happy with the Trout Magnet jig heads or just looking for more options?

Knotty,

More options, the Trout Magnet jig heads have a very small hook, wanted to test them on stocked trout and bluegills.

In addition, have read so many comments on how effective the Trout Magnet soft plastics were on fish,,, wanted to give them a test drive.

Regards,
FK

Don't remember where I got this from, but here's an eBay source for a guy that makes a large variety or ball jig heads in small sizes. He's bound to have something that works well with the Trout Magnets. I haven't ordered from him yet. Up to this point I've only experimented with Trout Mini Magnets on barbless jig hooks with tungsten beads for fly fishing. For spin, I've used the Trout Magnet jig heads.

Knotty,

Thank you, great source for UL jig heads.

More economical than making from fly tying hooks and slotted tungsten beads.

The sickle hooks look interesting.

FK

J,
check out the custom jig and spin finke and ratso also ... we use them through the ice on gills and crappies they are killer dude ! that finke is bomb proof you can catch hundreds of fish on one .. unless if you loose it on a snag or something ..

I just ordered 1/80oz size 8, and 1/100oz size 10, both 50 packs from Knotty's link on eBay. I have ordered from him before, and received great quality. The only down side is painting the heads yourself.

Andy, can they be cast or are they too light? I don't do the hard water thing, I hate the cold. I so need to move to eastern Tennessee, can't handle Ohio weather anymore.

depending on the size J we use the 10's and 12's i would say you could cast the 10 maybe with 2# test or lighter line like sewing mono i have used the 12 with my 3wt and it worked good ..Ohio weather does suck ! matter o fact it's going to snow tonight lol
