Had probably the best day ever for catching shell cracker. Found the beds with the Helix Mega si unit. Used my homemade egg sack to tip some of the Trout Magnets. The girth on these fish were quite large. Used the twitch method....fish were in 2-5 feet of water. Hope you enjoy.

Great video and a awesome day of fishing!
what are you calling twitching?Quote:

The slower the retrieve the better.....the reel I am using is a slow speed reel......only taking in 25 inches per handle turn vs 31 inches on my other reels.Quote:

Great day of fishing. Thanks for showing us the way.
Great vid, thanks for sharing. You tipped the magnet with egg sack. I didn't quite catch that.

Thanks for the comment....a homemade egg sack. It is a very tiny piece of a Berkeley Power Wiggler that I cut with an Xacto knife. Many times I do this for shell cracker. Sometimes I will put it right behind the jig head and then put on the Trout Magnet body. You can buy the tiny egg sacks but best I remember they’re kind of pricey.Quote:

I told you a few years ago that you were my hero....nothing this video has done to change that !
Do you have a picture of the trout magnet rigged up with the egg sac?
Thanks for the comment but I’m just a guy who has a lot of time to fish. I have played around with this setup off and on for several years. I’m not sure it helps...but it doesn’t hurt. I may go a year or more without using them....and then I give them a go again. I’m not sure it gives me an advantage. On this trip I caught fish with it on and fish with it off. I have tried these before on the jig head by themselves and don’t get many bites at all. Over the years I have tried putting anise oil in the Trout Magnet bags...but that is too messy for me. I have also used micro jig bodies out of Japan that are impregnated with scent and are biodegradable. They are nice looking lures but I had no luck with them at all. This scent business is a funny thing..but I do believe it makes the fish hold on to the lure just a little longer...if it is a scent the fish likes.Quote:
