trout magnets

[Kype]

i decided to pick up a pack of trout magnets today at a local sport shop. i never fished them before. ( i am always trying new lures)  after i got home i walked down the river and had none stop action for the hour i fished. i did not land any trout,  but had some awesome action. a couple of hits happen when the darn thing hit the water.  if you have not tried these yet i highly recommend them.

 

only thing i can think of is the floats could be more dense. couple drifts i had the float sinking. but other then that.....

My fiance uses them she adds a small split shot they work good the pink ones and the beige grubs she catches trout on them drifting them

yeah i added split shot between float and lure. i was drifting also. had great action on pink, red, and gold. tomorrow morning i will be up for sunrise to try out other colors. i was using my 5' ultra light today. tomorrow i will use my 7' light action. i had to much line drag on the water which is why i thought i wasn't getting good hook sets

I have heard good things and always wanted to give them a try.

comes with the assortment of lures. jig heads and floats. after all my trout fishing in the years i would never guess or even think of a trout hitting a little piece of rubber that is split at the end.

suicide run? i always left at midnight. hit the Dunkin Donuts, stopped at fat nancys.  fished to about 3 or 4pm. hit the sub way or ponderosa, then drove home lol. 

 

im not sure if i can do that now. one year the snow was so bad, i was just getting onto the exit ramp to go home and had a state trooper re direct me to the holiday inn. 

 

i had an interesting phone call with my boss at the time lol.

i cant remember, but is that the guy who lives in altmar? i use to drive to the guys house to buy flies and ask for reports. all you had to do was knock on his door and he had flies to sell and reports to give. cant remember his name, but was a great guy. he was an older guy and i think his son runs a guide service on the river. 

 

i would like to explore other tributaries. my steelhead trips were always the salmon river.
