 I've had luck with them. I've fished them weedless for bass and did ok. I have the original ones. I didn't like the hooks that came with them, they were to flimsy and bent very easily. I replaced them with new ones.

Yeah I do agree they do work. I wanted to see how many people have used them. The hooks that come with the kit do need an up grade

i got them. i use them down at orangeville and SLAM the white bass. it seems to work when nothing else does down there for white bass. now with other fish i have no clue. lol

most "pros" use a certain brand because they are sponsored to use their products... its big money...commercialism

those videos i posted there should be some videos of  guys useing them for pike... of course it helps to be on remote lakes in the middle of nowhere in canada...

I tryed to look up old posts on them and could not find anything

Some people just think they know what the pros do....
They actually have no clue.....


You are right Crappie if they are not catching fish they won't use a lure even if it's free.....

Bings, there is a good feature in BassMaster Mags. that sends a writer on the water with a pro & gives a minute by minute account on what, where & when they use & how they do. I think that it is a excellent teaching tool. Seldom do they use the same lures,but do as we do when fishing,keep changeing what you are doing till you find what works. Speaking of hot lures & tecniques go to youtube & type in "how to use "trout magnets" very informative , but if you look closely at one stream side, you can see posters that prob.indicates private stocked water. I fish with a couple of guys that use them as much as I use mini-foos,sometimes they out fish me sometimes I outfish them. the trick is to keep trying. sam

One of my fishing partners bought a kit for himself and one for me 3 years ago . I thought about getting it in the past , but never did . I'm very happy he got it for me as I have done well with it on Pyme which is my favorite body of water to fish considering fishing success and proximity to home . I love the action one can generate from the Banjo minnows . They are like many lures in that one has to have faith they will work . Otherwise , how much of a chance will one allow a lure , how hard will someone fish a lure if there isn't faith ? Believing in a lure has much to with its' success . I do use different hooks than the ones supplied though , my prefernce .

I think that they are like all others,sometimes they work sometimes they don't.This subject seems to come along every few months,must be good advertisement. If they work as good as the makers claim they do, I would think that that would be the only lures the pros would use. Does anyone know if any pro tournys were won by them? sam

Bill Dance had an episode where he used them. I'm guessing they paid him to do it.

Trout magnets for sure can be a sure fire for bass, panfish and all your trout species. Last year I fished next to this old guy at Buffalo and caught 6 or 7 and he was fly flishing and threw one on and jerked her like a streamer and caught a couple too, so theyre pretty good. I normally buy that big value pack and soak them in that powerbait formula and kill fish in the dalo's
