Crappie Magnets say that they are designed for a vertcical type presentation. I am wondering if they also work well for trolling. Have not found anybody using that method with them.

They might, but I don’t have the gear to try. I will tell you they can be cranked back slowly just over the bottom and work just fine. I would say give it a try and let us know how you do.

I have used them under a float and shot under docks with good results
One of the premier guides of the south trolls with Crappie Magnets. He puts his clients on a ton of fish. I should add that is Cpt. Richard Simms….he is a member on here. If you are on Facebook you can see the fruits of his fishing on Scenic City Fishing Charters, Inc.Quote:

I would think to troll them it would require some sort of added weight, or it would be skimming the top of the water...just my thinking
Trolling generally generates a reaction bite. Crappie, and Trout Magnets are a scent and taste lure. You could troll Magnets on a jig head, but I think a plastic body would provide more action.

We troll with them all the time some days they are the best bait in the boat
I call them the do nothing bait trolling but some days that is what the fish want
I knew some old folks that long lined tube jigs I use and caught fish
Yes. They work trolling.
I'm at a point where I'm tired of having 100 of each type in 20 different colors by 6 different manufacturers. Time to scale down. I like crappie magnet colors as well as how they catch fish for me when jigging. So if they will double as a trolling bait then they win a spot in the boat.

I know a local guide who uses them with a 1/32 jig and runs from .4 to .9 mph in bays 2 to 9ft deep and hammers them in Feb and march. Red/ Chart is his best color.
Seems trolling any small plastic on a light jig would limit one to depth trolled as well as speed. Too fast, the lure stays near the surface - not good for fish down in 10'. Wonder what the action of the lure swimming it at a steady speed and if it gets more strikes at times than pause & wind.
