Trout Magnets vs butterworms

Trout magnets are great. You never know what you will catch on them. Biggest surprise thus far fishing them is a 24" pickerel.

I bought a few Trout Magnets and fished them on the Rockaway. I caught a 4" sunnie and an even smaller smallie.

Brian did you fish them with a float attached and 2lb test like they do on the Youtube video?

Other than 4 lb test line, yes.

Gotcha Brian. I will try it soon on the Rockaway. I asked because in one of their youtube videos, a fisherman was having no luck when he was using 2lb test. He switched over to a flourocarbon leader, and was getting hits from the trout like crazy. Had no idea that flourocarbon leader would make such a difference. Maybe it was just good marketing.
