Congrats.....all I’ve used for over ten years now......except it is the Trout Magnet. I have the Pan Fish jig heads but they wind up getting mixed with my TM jig heads.

I fish this about 90 percent of the time. I catch tons of fish with a Trout Magnet.....but folks catch a ton of fish with a variety of other lures also. I was using the Bulldog color for bluegill until this color came out years back...it is half black half mealworm. But for whatever reason this color TM works extremely well on the waters I fish.....and not just for bluegill.Quote:

I second Alpha's color selection. My favorite Trout Magnet color as well!
I think I had to hound Alphahawk to finally post a bison color. When I took one look at it, said some explatives, and ordered some immediately. Never looked back. Sunfish go crazy over them. Looks like a mealworm.
It ain’t too shabby in the Crappie Magnet either. Bison, that is.
Thanks Alpha. Just can't find em here in FL. I'll have to order some, too may folks having good luck with them.
Academy has em.Quote:

Shipping is reasonable, service is great and you can order 15 or 50 at a time. Far better price than other online sources.
If you order from there make sure you grab some Popeye jigs too. Caught some nice bluegill on the black 1/32oz this last year.Quote:

Your golden now!!! Those bison will clobber the bluegills.
Two days ago I had a nice morning with the orange color. Only caught 8 or 9 gills but it was a fun morning fishing in 3 inches of snow.
Here is my collection of Bream catchers- My go to is the TM bison with spinner and the black grub on a weed less jig. These all catch bream for me.
Maybe I missed something. Was looking on the Leland site and it appears they have done away with the pan fish magnets? Also I can't find the bulk spools of line. I have purchased the 2 lb and 4 lb and now wanted go get the 6 lb bulk spools. Also I note they changed the size of the hook for the 1/64 oz. jigs from 8 to 6. Can somebody enlighten me. Thanks, Pop
PS: They have a special on the bison color trout magnets in 50 packs for 4.99.
I’ll find out....as far as I know the hook is still #8. The Panfish Magnets are still valid but they are not on the site.Quote:

The bulk 6# test line is on the site. Not sure if I’m allowed to post link to it but it is on their site.Quote:

Truth be told,yesterday while purusing for more panfish lures,I found only one pack of bison color,amongst several packs of multiple other colors, .......that should tell ya something!
FWIW, I catch loads of fish on solid red and solid black.Quote:

FWIW, my previous post was all in jest ......except for the part where all the bison colors were sold out,that part is no fish tale!:RoflQuote:

Again, it's not the Magnet's split tail that's key. It's the cone shape that has its own unique action when twitched, size not nearly as important IMHO.
Here's an example of a hybrid hand-poured cone tail - the tail of a softer plastic:

Here's a Crappy Magnet tail fused to a grub body of a different lure:

Other than lure design, do yourself a favor and try 1/32 and 1/16 oz unpainted ball head jigs. IMO they allow for the perfect presentation that fits this tail design - split or not.
Received a couple test packs of the 1/64th heads and they contain #6 hooks. The difference I see is the package doesn't say 'Quote:

The "trout slayer" head has a #6 hook. The TM has a #8.Quote:

Thanks!
I got the Panfish Magnet kit recently and boy ket me tell you. I love that kit. I'm going crappie fishing tomorrow and they are going on a rod for sure. So far I've caught a nice redear, green sunfish, and a couple largemouth bass on the catalpa and bison colors. Attachment 360219

Those grubs look like killers. How do you go about fusing them?
Thanks,
Bob
PS Referring to Spoonminnow’s post 31. Thanks
Caught a crappie on a bison color today. So that's 4 species on them!
