Just ordered Shonuff (AKA monkeys milk) and Gunmetal. Saw they also have Cookies and Cream. Not sure when they were introduced but I’m excited to be getting new colors.
I also saw on the YouTube TroutMagnetMan, Alpha Hawk on here I believe, teased a couple other colors that aren’t for sale yet.
Nate.
Yup. They look good.

Awesomeness

Cookies and cream sounds like a color I’d be interested in .
I have pretty good luck with Sowbug and root beer float colors.
I wish they would they would take PayPal as a payment option.
Me tooQuote:

I will be ordering the monkey milk one for sure as I am super excited about it. Talked to Jeff Smith about the new tungsten trout magnets they are coming out with. Be the same size as a 1/64oz but will weigh 1/32oz.

Oh and the cookies in cream color puts a hurting on rainbows. I’m sure it would be a good color for panfish as well too.
Not exactly what I envisioned but a cool looking TM .Quote:

I should have said this is the gunmetal color. The cookies and cream is is half black and half white. And it is split across like bison or sowbug would be.
That’s what I was thinking .Quote:

I bet that gunmetal will put a hurting on early spring crappie
What are colors/names of the ones not released yet?

I have no idea but I too am curious.
I doubt anything new will be released other than what has been said but I don’t know for sure. He usually has the new colors ready for the East TN Fishing Expo. Shonuff, gunmetal, and cookies and cream are what Jeff mentioned as the new colors. They are making the baits in house now so I guess it would be a lot easier to add a new color to the lineup now.
Here are pics of the cookies n cream and the unicorn I picked up last year.

This is what Randy said. He wasn’t sure on the names though.

Oh I see. Hadn’t seen that. I tried to see if he had anything new out video wise. I like that brown one and the green one. I’ll try to keep an eye out for those. Thanks Dave.
Nope he just posted the pic, no video that I’m aware of.
I’m glad I’m wrong as I always like to get new colors of trout magnets. Haha
I'm of the opinion that color doesn't matter, but superstition does and when it comes to color personal preference, I'm as superstitious as the next guy I gotta admit. The colors shown above are ones I would ALWAYS CARRY along with my own combination of yellow perch colors: a bit of black, charteuse and orange.
Attachment 481051 Attachment 481052
Do fish think the lure is a yellow perch? Don't have a clue, but something about the color combo seems as natural as it gets (a word I would never admit is the reason fish slam lures regardless of color.)
Other than that color, there are close to 30 favorites that I have total confidence in in that I can close my eyes and pick one, knowing full well the lure will catch fish of ALL species because (again my opinion):
color (including those with a bit of metal flakes), enhances a lures shape and action better vs. plain black. (plus maybe it pisses fish off more and, as we all know, a p/o'd fish is a caught fish IMO!) :ThumbsUp
Look like great sizes and colors for gills too!
I usually go out to visit with Jeff every 3 weeks or so. Many times he is not around as I think he’s the busiest man I know?. Last time out they had a new machine coming which will be a total of 3 making TM’s full bore. The guy that runs the mold shop is always mixing new colors and will give me a few each time to try out. Which I must admit in the past 7 months I have not fished hardly at all. Come warmer weather I will try them all out. There are names, at least I think the colors I posted have a name, and I will try to find that out this coming week. They have a new bait coming out that is for crappie but I can see it being a good bluegill lure also. It is called the “Roo”. It is a 1.5 inch shad looking type bait with a hole in the belly to stuff crappie nibbles in. Their new tungsten jig heads are in transit as we speak.

What are you using to store your Trout Magnets. As my colors grow I need a better box.
The packaging they come in.Quote:

I use this. Build my own kits, I try and put similar colors together. Golds/silvers, orange/yellows, blues/greens, pinks/purples, ect.
Neon Box (Empty)
I must have 30 boxes with movable partitions that I store plastics as well as ziplock bags to store extra lures. No point taking along 15 lures of the same type and color when 3 will last me for many trips.
Over 9 years ago I was given the keys to the Trout Magnet warehouse[emoji23] I am on my second bag of Bison. They keep fine in the plastic bags. I have empty TM bags that I will refill for my pegboard. When fishing I use 1 Meiho box and refill before each trip.

The “kit” plastic boxes do tend to warp .
I’ve had unopened ones twist and warp .
I ordered some heavy duty 4”x4” ziplock bags I keep mine in for carrying around. That and a small six section plastic box from Flambeau.
I like the bags best for carrying but the box helps keep the tails from deforming.

I hang mine on a peg board also. Lol. You keys you say, to a warehouse you say :biggrin.
The boxes do warp but nothing a heat gun and few heavy books can’t fix.

I use a plano micro for my trout magnets and use a meiho box for my stonefly baits.
Attachment 481350
Are those peg board photos in a tackle store? Wish mine were that neat!
Lucky if I can find the right size jigs,

That bag of a 1,000 won't be used up in your lifetime. (Care to donate a few? :biggrin ... my address is ______, N.Y.
I’m kinda a neat freak soo don’t feel bad. Lol.
I like the peg boards. I keep all my trout magnets in a bass mafia box but I’m starting to run out of room. I did some organizing today of my two trout boxes.
Attachment 481429
That looks great. I may have to pic up one of those Plano boxes. Build me a “best of” box.
I love my Meiho boxes for some other applications. Never thought to use them. Thanks for there suggestions.
Which meiho boxes are y’all using? There’s a lot to choose from. Haha.
