I’ve fished it bout every way possible. That method is productive for sure. I prefer to twitch it on a 1.5 gram jig head. Check out my channel to see all the specie of fish it does catch.

Been planning to, but never get around to it. It's just too easy catching fish on a light jig in a local lake that has been lowered 6' for dam repair.

Will definitely check out the channel. I was very impressed by how well the panfish magnet stayed in place on a smooth shank hook.

I've seen somebody on YouTube do that, but they use the mini trout magnets, they caught a lot, and probably work even better if you tipped it with a crappie nibble.

Just ordered some mini trout magnets to try, they look like what I’ve been looking for.

Small lures catch everything that swims. Last Wed. I caught a large bass and pickerel on 1.5" soft plastics. All size fish and fish species will strike soft plastics as well a overhead spinners with soft plastics (the ol' Beetle Spin).

YUM Ribbontail Grubs and Berkley PowerBait Ribbontail Grubs have the best curl tail shapes IMO. I rig them on 1/16 oz and 1/24 oz jigs.
Even the body with the curl tail cut off can catch just as many fish.

Lots of good choices for sure and im not sure if its been mentioned....Keystone MinnowAttachment 474439

I keep telling myself, you gotta hang small soft plastics under a float, but never do it. It will happen (but not this year).:ThumbsUp

Don't be surprised if you catch some rather large fish using small soft plastics like this white sucker caught on a Crappie Magnet:

.... as well as large catfish:

Kut Tail worms on light jigs catches crappie galore!:

I have a mold for some 1" power nymphs and gills love them.

You just want "action" on small Gills & such .... you might consider these : 1/4'"' LONG AND COMES IN SMALL JAR TO KEEP IN FRESHNESS

I'll assume your "regular hook" is either a #4 or #6 ... if so, you could thread them on like you would a wax worm.

(Note: Shipping is $5.69 so you might want to purchase several containers of different scents)

They can also be used like a "nibble" on your jig, to add color & scent.

These are not a commercial product, they're made by a member (& a fishing buddy of mine) by the screen name "slabeye". You might also check the Member Sponsor Classified Ads forum, under Slabanator Jigs, as he does do sales on occasion.
