We made a friendly wager of 5 dollars as to who would catch the most, I fished with a flyrod and also crickets on light spinning rod and they used the magnets. When I was using the flyrod, we were dead even. When I got the crickets out they cried "uncle" and switched to crickets. I caught 2 to their combined one when I used crickets and they used magnets. We had a blast and I ended up converting two who swore by the magnets to crickets and told them they could keep their money. Great day and we even found one school of bass in about 18' deep water and caught somewhere between 35-40 on crankbaits and worms, nothing big but lots of bass.
Dang and I had just stocked up on white curly tailed grubs. Now I need to go get some crickets.
