I have been using these same jigheads with my trout magnets for a few months and they work great, I really like them paired up with the EPF swim as well. I bought a few packs of them because the pond close to where I work is full of snags and I lose a few setups everytime I fish there. Great video!!
The Trout Magnet's shad dart jig head is designed to be balanced with the Trout Magnet body so that it falls horizontally in the water. This horizontal fall is a big part of what makes Trout Magnets work so well. Never tried with these jig heads, but I wonder if the added weight on the head puts them into a dive on the fall. The Trout Magnet jig also has a small barb on the hook to hold the plastic body in place. Using a light action rod with 2lb line, they will cast pretty far, you can use a bb split shot to cast further if needed. If you're fishing for trout, using a fluorocarbon leader line also helps, trout are visual strikers, and they can't see the fluorocarbon as easily.
@@3gcraftsman It depends on the water depth, but in general 12-18" inches above the Trout Magnet. Most instances it's not necessary to use, but when casting into wind or when a further cast is needed the added weight can help.
Thnx Guy, imma try some of these! Z man micro finess 1/30 jig head has been working great for me crappie fishing, the bait keeper is subtle & doesn't tear up your bait! Also have some bg-1 jig heads and yesterday is the 1st time i cought some crappie on them & they are great! Z man 1/20 & bg-1 have been slaying the bluegill and ShellCracker.
New sub, thank you for the review! These look great, I just purchased a few packs in each size!!! I do a lot of ultra light fishing and just being able to cast the further distance with the heavier jig heads, yet the hook size remains the same is awesome for us bank anglers!!!!
I've been using these for years, along with the Gekebijin and more recently the i_fish BG. The one you show are sold under multiple brand names on AE and like you say, that extra 0.2 g makes a huge difference in casting with BFS. The hooks on the Gekebijin are sharper and lighter wire which provides better penetration and some hope of bending the hook out on light line when you snag but the AE jig heads are cheap enough that I don't worry about breaking off. The BG jig heads are also sharper than the AEs and somewhere between the Daiwa and AE in wire gauge and seem to have hook points that are the most resistant to dulling. All good stuff.
I’ve definitely gotta buy these jigheads. I think the hook seems a little more stout too which is nice but the big thing for me is the shape of the head and the eyes!
@@THEREELTEST try it out then, there’s other models out too now. .6 gram, .75 gram, 1 gram, 1.25 gram and 1.5 gram models rn with different hook options. On i-fish UA-cam channel.
@THEREELTEST that jig was just recently released by i_fish, another ultralight channel here on UA-cam. But I think he admits the Diawa ajing jigs are the best. These Chinese knockoffs are pretty similar and I would probably go with these over the BG1. Although his jigs ship from here in the States I believe.
Since I started fishing I've been a total Leland Lures fanboy. After my order last night, I think I'll have every color and kit they've made in my collection 😂 Mini Magnets, Trout Slayers, and Crappie Magnets as well. I'm a gear head and there's no way I'm escaping it in this hobby. I'd like to make up some molds and start casting my own jigheads to mess around with.
The head design of the trout magnet is called a shad dart .the flat angle in front is design to deflect the hook up when bouncing off Rocky river bottoms
@@fishinfool63it's a shad dart bro. That's what they do. They are also literally designed to be used vertically or floated off a bobber.... Because they understand 1/32 is a very impractical weight for allot of people.
Solid video for the trout magnet and really any 5cm/2 inch or less soft bait. I think the 2 smaller sizes would be good option in particular the 1.2 with a bit more current or wind. Great stuff!
So that rod is it a new version of the ave hawk venom. I just bought an Ace Hawk venom 7’ to use for corvina, corvina and bonefish here in San Diego. I too have been buying jig heads from Alt express. Those seem like a good find, . I am using five pound braid and 4 pound Fluor with my Dark would ultra. I hav ‘t fished them yet as aI just got them . If I hook into one of the spotted bay bass I am wondering how it will hold up? Lol I will find out. I also have the pisicifun carbon reel and the Shimano majestic to bfs rod try in case that outfit is too light. I got these all base on your videos. Going today to try some of it out. I wish I has some lakes with crappie like you have.
Lead is very malleable and easy to manipulate. Everyone needs a small pair of side cutters anyways because you will eventually bury hooks where you dont want them. Been there done that. Anyways, girdle the little retaining of a regular jig head all the way around, then snip off that little cylinder. Use super glue on the hook shank and slide your plastic up. IMHO it seems to hold as good or better than many factory "lumps" anyways. It prevents the big swollen choad of plastic with some jig+plastic setups too so a better looking lure all around. Use one size up from what you normally would as you are removing some of the lead.
Hello.I would like to ask for advice. I received as gift Daiwa Luna 103l with which rod will be works the best I mean about lure weight. Can't find any info about Thanks a lot. I will really appreciate answer. Big fan
Hi. Thought you might like to know; UA-cam did not notify me about the posting of this video even though I an a subscriber and the notification bell is selected.
Hi Another question The fishing reel and bait caster which you used on this video, can you send me info or link for this BFS gear. You did mention that the reel is prototype, does it get released yet
Can I ask, ?. Why do you always seem to load your reels with 4 lb Mono, I was under the impression that BFS Fishing was all about Braid/Fluorocarbon . I am a novice that is why I am asking .
I want an honest opinion, my friend told me that fly fishing catches way more fish than bfs and that bfs is for idiots what do you think about between the 2 , I love bfs and think people just aren’t educated.
@@Teddy-se8qb I don’t know dude I have nothing against fly fishing I jus think it’s easier to bfs fish and it’s more easier and very affective if you have a touch for it
@Off-The-Dome-Kobe Bfs is way easier...however, the presentation imo is much better. With floating line I am able to drift trout magnets while i retrieve line and it absolutely slays fish!
@@ReelAnglerReviews your right and topwater is a plus, i have found out bfs fishing is challenging in certain conditions, other than that im glad to say bfs fishing is insane

I’d argue the BG-1 jig head is the best for trout magnets.
What does the BG-1 jig head look like?
never heard of them

Im going to try the bigger heads with the trout magnet to see if they will get bit.
Nice, thanks for sharing.
I usually just use Wapsi 1/64 plain, no collar ball heads.
What are the soft plastics called that you showed at the end of the video and how/where can I find them? Thanks
Appreciate this video! I just ordered two packs of each size. Very realistic and I know they will increase catch ratio!
I like the trout magnets and the trout slayer. But I have lost alot of fish to those thin wire hooks I found some jigs very similar to those.
Every time I lose a gekkabijin jighead it makes me want to leave the lake. I will definitely order some of these.
especially since you have to order replacements from Japan
I caught my 1st fish on a truck magnet last week It was a black croppy on my shimano slx b f s first fish on the trout magnet first fish on the s l x
Ryugi Vespa Jigheads are a dream! 🙏
Can you hook up under a float to achive the same action

the crappie catches were with the AG Venom. I didnt know there were previous versions. The Mayan Ciclid was caught on an Abu Garcia BFS rod
Ooo I so need to get a bunch of these!
So whats wrong with the jig head that comes with the magnet?
nothing, but these add weight for better casting and they look more realistic
True, but sad words. Thank you!

What knot do you use for those jigs?
I think its called a clinch
Love the intro! Religion fishin
Is the Is trout magnet plastic smaller than the croppy magnet
yes its much smaller

The rod should be chosen by what technique you are fishing and the lure weights you fish
went to website tried to buy multiple units and wouldn't allow me to change it.

What size are yall using for trout magnets? I seen they have 3 sizes
Were you using a stock Aldebaran in those clips?
yes
Man I'm sure that 1/8 ounce size would suite the larger Crappie Magnets perfectly.
Mule fishing have their jigheads but I'd be tempted to cut off the hook keeps.. i_fish reviewed this jighead I believe
ifish BG-1 jigheads are bad ass👌🏾
@@panfishin-fool8057 yea so I have heard from a source I trust. I will order some if the international postage is reasonable
I use Bobby Garland 1/48 jigheads for bluegill & 1/32 & 1/16 for crappie
You should try a micro version of Tiny Child Rig
I have even used the with ned jigheads . I have caught a lot if fish rigged up that way .
Can I ask, ?. Why do you always seem to load your reels with 4 lb Mono, I was under the impression that BFS Fishing was all about Braid/Fluorocarbon . I am a novice that is why I am asking .
I saw those but I kinda skeptic about the hooks quality
well at 3 bucks for a pack of 10, what do you have to lose?
Are you in Florida? I didn't know that
I was there in mid February to visit family and see if I could catch a Peacock
Them fish will see the gold hook better than the gray hook my friend he fish with gold hooks and he burns them up
