Trout Magnet Question
 

I have some crappie magnets and just ordered my first trout magnets and was wondering. I read where a lot of people use 2lb line with 2lb. fluorocarbon leader. Is there any reason why 4lb line combined with 2lb fluoro leader wouldn't perform as well?

The TM only weighs 1/64 oz

you can use 4 lb test if you can cast far enough with it

I've found I have better luck w/ the Crappie Magnet ( and the TM ) on 2 lb test

I just catch more fish w/ 2 lb :D

You can cast further with the 2 lb test and I personally believe the 2 lb test gives the bait a more natural fall and better action. Just my thoughts :)

X2 on what they said. I use 2# test NanoFil. It has its draw backs but casting distance is not one of them.

Thanks everyone!

Wearing them out !! <'TK><
 

tk, I think you are working too long. Downscale that work break to 10 minutes and upsize the fishing break!

I can see TK's gears turning now. Trout Magnet "check", Crappie Magnet "check", Striper Magnet? Hmmm possibility....

Yep....getting those large mouth on that rig is a hoot. You know those Fenwick Blackhawks are in demand and are very hard to find. A lot of rod builders are looking for those to redo and sell....it was a very popular rod.

I used 8lbs line with Crappie Mags and had a great time.

Caught this on Monday, creek in Wilson county, at a friends farm. Chunky loved the trout mag on that 2 pound test. Need to straighten my hat.
