Yep, caught this little guy earlier this afternoon on a rootbeer colored panfish magnet.

Went out earlier this morning. Fished with the Berkley Gulp Nightcrawler. They were really biting well and I caught about 4 on that. Then things slowed down and I decided to try some different baits/lures. I have the Panfish Magnet kit and I tried some of those. Got some bites on most of the colors but the rootbeer one seemed to do the trick.
All right! :ThumbsUp
You've been working up to this for a while. Good idea to change up colors until you found one they had interest in.
Try some Bobby Garland's Baby Shad plastics. They'll do some catching for you!
Way to go!
You'll be filing the freezer in no time! Keep on tryin, you can't catch em sitting on the couch!
Good job.
I like those panfish magnets. I have had good catches with them.

Caught some Saturday on a black and chartreuse squirmin squirt from..BPS.Love using jigs for gill's.
The bluegill are after jigs well right now in these parts ....nice ketch
You'll catch most species on the Magnet in most colors of which there are many. The website has great sales on the Crappie Magnet in certain colors and though some may not be what some would call natural, it doesn't matter because the overall shape of the lure when rigged on a light jig 1/32 or 16 oz, demonstrates and action on the slow retrieve fish can't ignore. What pound test did you catch them on?
Good work. Lighter line helps

Agree - 6# and maybe even 4# in open water allows the best wobble to the lure - crucial in that style lure.Quote:

Used 4 lb test monofiliament Stren. It came on the reel. I like the line though it can be a bit hard to manage in heavy winds.Quote:

Since creating this thread back last summer, I have caught blugills out the wazoo, redear, warmouths, pumpkinseeds, 1 small largemouth bass, 1 small catfish, and 7 stocked trout with them. Several different colors as well. I really like these things. Working on fishing the curly tail grubs now. Line used has been 4 lb test Stren or Berkley. Just the regular clear stuff.
You are ruined now, I love my small ties for Brim.
Tryp is right, you're officially ruint. When you get a few dollars together, and you decide you really want to have a ton of fun and be able to cast these little bugs, put together a 2lb outfit and throw 1/32 and 1/64. That's what has ruint me lately. Got a 1.5lb crappie on one of those rigs today. It gives light tackle a whole different meaning. Keep us posted, you help teach us all.
I’ve been fishing UL and micro jigs with 2# test...and sometimes 1.4# almost exclusively for many years now......been on Trout Magnet Pro Staff for 10 years. Micro jigs will put a lot of fish in the boat...so to speak as it is rare for me to keep fish. I had a great day Thursday with the white bass on UL and 2# test line. Even though white bass are extremely aggressive they were not in a biting mood....and I was sitting on top of several hundred of them. It took a micro jig....the Trout Magnet.....to coax them to bite. Catching around 55 of them on the UL was a hoot. Follow Skeets advice and you’ll be a happy camper.

Nice! I find the natural colors of camouflage work best for bluegill: browns, tans, olives and black.
