Thread: Trout magnet is the key.

TM bodies are much smaller than a CM....and CM hooks are not the best for catching bluegill. TM jig heads have a #8 hook. I don't use anything bigger than a #6 hook for bluegill...and most of the time it is a #8 and sometimes a #10. I know folks catch bluegill using a CM but that is certainly not the best way to go about it....and if you do use a CM for bluegill you certainly do not want to use the CM jig heads.

Any chance you have a photo of a CM and TM side by side?
