Good to know. Thanks.
I am on the Pro-Staff of Lealands Lures...maker of Trout Magnet and Panfish Magnet. The Panfish Magnet is the same body as a Trout Magnet but the Panfish jig head has a longer shank hook than the TM jig head. A lot of folks had been asking for that hook a long time and Jeff finally came out with it. The TM jig head was designed to hook trout in the upper part of the mouth without harming them....and it does that well over 90 percent of the time. Many of us felt we needed a little longer shank hook to get a better catch rate with Gills...and IMHO it works better. Having said that I caught a ton of Gills with a TM jig head but missed more than I wanted to....don't like to miss any...LOL. The new hook seems to have served it's purpose.

Woulda never thought a longer hook would be needed for gills than trout. Very intrresting and thanks.
Thumbs up for trout magnets, tip with a little bit of worm.
Got a buddy that uses the panfish size. He does okay with them. I dont.
Are you saying you don't get good hook ups with the Panfish jig head? The Trout Magnet.....and Panfish Magnet bodies are the exact same size....am not understanding what you are calling panfish size....the jig heads both weigh 1/64....the Panfish jig head has a slightly longer shank hook.Quote:

Not sure if they're still being made but I have some in one of my boxes in my storage bin. I fished them on a few different lakes and had very little success. My buddy caught a few on a chartruse one day while fishing with me. Southern pro bodies were the ticket puncher for me.Quote:

It would take a neuroseurgeon to trim them thinner. They are not beetle bodies. How can you pass judgement if you have not seen them? :banghead
Are you referring to the crappie magnet legs being trimmed thinner? They are made more for tightlining but splitting them may help, never thought about it. Might give it a try, always ready to look for a better way.Quote:
