Trout Magnet Lure.
« on: Mar 03, 2009, 06:16 AM »
Has anyone had any success fishing for Trout using trout Magnet Lures.   I bought a trout magnet kit last year and caught alot of differant fish on them but did not try them for trout.  In the past I tried small plastic ice jigs and have caught trout out of small steams and ponds.  There is a good web site for the trout magnet lures.  www.troutmagnet.com.   Anyone use these on a regular basis?  What do you think?

Checked the pics out.  I've never seen them before.  Hard to say.  Right place right time as is the case for most fishing.  good luck.

Ive tried them with limited success on stream brookies, i always keep a couple in my vest in case i run outta bait because they will catch then if they are hungry, HOWEVER i have found them to be killer on white and yellow perch as well as sunnies, both open water and on the ice, they should be renamed panfish magnets

  They should be named panfish magnets.  I think I have caught just about everything on them except trout!   ???

Their crawfish pattern is a pure smoker for bass and BIG panifish during ice season. I tried one on the Yakima River last October after finding some claws in the rocks but it got hung up and broken off in fewer than three casts. Oh well.

trout magnet you cant go wrong, this is all i even fish with for trout anymore. now it does take a little bit getting used to how to present it but when you find oout how they want it they will eat it and i change color alot, my 2 fav. colors being white and orange, i fished at my cabin in perry county for the april 2nd opener and got 61 trout (HAD MY FIRST 5 IN 5 CASTS BIGGEST ONE 21") in about 7 hrs of fishing all caught on a magnet.(all released but my 5 lol) even ended up out fishing a guy in a hole that was using bait (live) and everything else under the sun!!!! i wouldnt be afraid to say i can outfish any body on the stream with a magnet, they are killer, but like i said if your not gettin em to hit the magnet your definitely not fishing it right!!! and yes there is a technique! good fishin guys oh yea they work great on pannies too, but you guys should get the crappie magnets for the pannies they like them even more and the trout eat them too!!!!   EYEFISHERMAN   D.T.

I have used these here on a little creek in Wyo. just below a really small bobber in some of the beaver ponds along the creek. Caught cutthroat trout like you wouldn't believe.  :D

They are simply a small jig with plastic worm.

I went brook trout fishing in the early spring with 3 other guys who used an almost exact replica of the Magnet Lure and they caught a few fish.  I used a Panther Martin "zebra" and caught a whole bunch of brookies.  The expedition was for filming an add for an outfitter and we did not want to fish with natural bait.  The fishing was very slow.....water was very cold.

The guys I went with did not want to fish mid-day when the fishing would have been better.  Fishing programs and good fishermen.....not with the group I fished with....lol.  One guy tried a few dry flies but there were no flies in the morning or in the afternoon.....lol.  He should have tried a nymph or fished at mid-day.

I think that the Magnet Lures and other lures just like them are good for stocked trout but are probably not good for wild brook trout.

I like them for still water (lakes/ponds) but prefer using really small tube jigs (pink, white and black) with a little heavier jig head in the rivers; the jig head on the magnets are too light for most trout waters I fish--can't get the magnets near the bottom in deeper, faster water quick enough.
