    Saw this video, decided to buy because it looked so easy. Hadn't been fishing since I was a little kid(some time ago). Finally went fishing with these lures - second cast I caught a fish. All-in-all within a hour or two I had caught 10 fish. Great video, very informative, great product! Thanks!

      The small rainbow colored or the brown speckled castmasters are brutal for trout. I have slayed them many a day with that lure and as its name infers, you can really chuck that lure way out there and accurately. Its my go to, probably should keep it a secret huh? Lol.

I like that orange and yellow one you used there too. I call it the candy corn color. I have always fished them under a small bobber. Going to try them with the barrel swivel and small split shot weight. Fish on!

    I've used them with my fly rod with some success. Rig them on an appropriate size Aberdeen wrapped in thread. A drop of Super-glue holds it in place. A small glass bead or sometimes a couple of them used as a "bead-head" for weight and you're in business. Weightless, bead-head, drifting, stripping anything goes.

    I use trout a magnet bobber when using bait for smallmouth fishing in Lake Erie tributaries, it's small enough that it doesn't scare the fish, but big enough to not sink. I use a light rod and light line with one or two bb size split shot to get the bait down near the bottom.

    Word of advice, dont promote Trout Magnet too much in any of your videos since you want them to sponsor you. If you keep praising their product without them sponsoring you then they probably won't end up sponsoring you because they figure "why give this man free tackle or money to promote our product when he already does it for free?".... company's will always tale advantage of free advertising. Love your channel by the way. I'm a new subscriber to it and love the creek fishing with light tackle. I do it myself for smallies all the time

    Great tip about the barrel swivel + split shot, will have to try that out asap. That's always been one of my problems fishing the TM, I can't seem to cast it as far as I like. I guess it doesn't help that I'm using a 5'6" ultralight and 2lb line. Other problem being I'm always getting the darn thing snagged underwater if I use it w/out the float. Still trying to work that out since we're supposed to keep the lure as close to the bottom of the river as possible but that's usually why it gets snagged so much.

    You have to try some NW Georgia spotted bass("Alabama bass" as of 2013) fishing in any body of running water.I'm originally from Michigan and lived in Northeast. They pull like smallies but they run a little bigger. Nothing like Kentucky spots or largemouth. Super small bodies of water, but they get massive because of the usual southeastern loaded forage.

    @sgtpavlov 6 років тому

    Nice,I have those with me at all times pretty much. Last weekend I was using them on a baitcaster with a light shallow spool,on 4'6" UL rod. Wasn't casting really that far. In order to get them to go anywhere, I needed to get used to casting them with a specific technique. It's a bit of a challenge,but I did land some sunfish and crappies with it. It's way easier to throw around things 2 grams and heavier. I was glad I didn't need to use a spinning setup lol.

    I'm not sure I've ever seen a knot break, though a lot of anglers talk about it. Knots come untied, and the line breaks because fish can wear on it, and rocks wear on it more. Even the tiniest of nicks from abrasion can cause the line to break.
    Stop tying an improved clinch knot and you'll have fewer knots coming untied. Use a Palomar or a uni. The improved clinch is seriously outdated. Add a fluorocarbon leader and you'll cast farther because of how dense fluorocarbon is, You'll also catch more fish, and larger fish that have been around long enough to be shy of fishing line, because light test fluorocarbon is completely invisible in the water.

    • @FishHawk
      @FishHawk  5 років тому

      Yeah it's just a habit to tie the improved clinch. I can tie it fast. But I agree, palomar knot is one of the best. I use palomar when I'm bass fishing. I should start using it for trout too. And yes, fluorocarbon is the best in my opinion. Expensive as heck, but it's good stuff.
