Thread: Trout Magnets let me down

Glad you found the combo that worked.

yep, I was out three hours today and only got ten fish. Two bass, eight gills all of which were very small.

Green, ya done good stickin with it and finding who was home and hungry. I haven’t fished a plastic worm in a lot of years also. When I was in the final months, maybe a couple of years, I fished a 6’ medium action rod with 6lb mono, a #1 or 1/0 double offset worm hook and a 1/32 bullet weight with a cheap 4” wal mart worm with a curl tail.. I caught many between 5 and 6 pounds and more under that than I could count. Everyone throws big baits for big fish. Offering a snack sized worm instead of a meal might not have landed the giants some of the guys bragged on, but I was busy more often than not. You brought back some good memories with those fish.
