Ultra light graphite rod, 7'6" with a fast action, usually 1-6# test...with a quality 1000 series reel, does a great job with mini jigs...can spool it different ways. 3-6# Braid to 2#-4# fluoro leader about 6-8 feet long...or 60% mono backed to 40% fluoro 2-4# etc,...use as light as leader as possible...slow retrieve usually works best while jigging rod tip up and down slowly...👍
Excellent recommendation.
Awesome lures for future just loving it awesome catch 🪝 tight lines
🔥🔥 Can’t wait to try them
Awesome 👍😎
David is the man! Got us loving the D2 so much I ordered some before trout magnet had them released!
David...I know someone else who loves to see their line. 😎😎😎
Do these work well for Pan Fish ?
Hello!
I’m new to using braided line. My Question is can I tie the D2 Jig straight to the braid? Or should I use a leader? Thank You for your time. BTW I bought a bunch of D2 jigs to use on Taneycomo. Looking forward to catching Trout with them!
If you use braided line then you'll need to tie a leader to it. Good luck on Taneycomo!
When will these be available cuz I use addicted fishing jigs for trout & trout magnet religiously
They are available now at TroutMagnet.com
I know you guys product test at Roaring River sometimes so what it the magic color down there? I always have great success withr the gold and pink trout magnets. Thanks, been waiting for these for awhile.
Pink is hard to go wrong with but some days they just act funky. Most days you can catch them on the colors found in our kits, but there are days they won't touch them but they'll destroy a Bison colored Trout Magnet. All that to say, keep a selection of colors and if the bite is slow on one, keep changing it up. Thanks for the question!
What brand are those spinning rods ? Do you & JD ever use the Float n Fly technique ? Rod suggestion for this ? Thanks !!!
JD was using some ST. Croix rods and David used the TCB by B'n'M, along with the SLS-150 by Leland's Lures.
We do use the 1/16 under a float often during extremely high water. For that we use our 9ft Trinity Rod.
Does this jig work as well in lakes and ponds?
Yes, it is a very versatile jig for more than just trout.
What is the gray and red reel being used?
We like the newer Shimano Vanford in a 1000 or 2000 but we still use the Shimano Stratics
I'm going to the little red in 2 weeks what colors do you recommend for the jigs?
Peaches, Toad-O, Fire-Craw, Black and Chart, and White/chart are all fishing good right now.
@lelandslures Time to break out the debit card thank you sir
I was wondering if Mr Dudley uses any fluoro leader, or does he run straight 2lb SOS?
I primarily use straight 2 lb. SOS. David introduced me to the flouro leader and I can see the benefit of it when it's blue bird sky, low water, no wind and the fish are really skiddish!
@@jddudley7800 Makes sense. Appreciate that!
How do I know how long of a leader to put on ?
if you're using braid then we'd recommend 5 to 8 feet.
What weight jig do you typically use?
1/8th oz
I like 2lb.line.But I get scared when if I get snaged up.6 is good in my opinion so if I do get snaged I can tighten my drag and hopefully get free.Or maybe I'll catch a damn monster too!😂
The thinner the diameter of the line, the better action the jig will have on the fall. As you increase line diameter, you jeopardize the spiral action of the jig which in turn will minimize the number of bites. Tiny details for us are huge details for the fish.
The line recommendation is off. The 2lb works but only after you've somewhat mastered this technique, otherwise you're going to break off A LOT. A better recommendation would be braided line. It has even a thinner diameter to strength ratio and the weight ratio as well. Anything between 6-10lb is great. It also allows you to be versatile in that you can attach any leader you want depending on water and fish size conditions. My line is 8lb Daiwa jbraid x8 grand with a 2-6lb fluorocarbon leader.
The 2lb or 4lb SOS is very strong for its diameter and it is the cheapest line and most user friendly line choice for this style of fishing. The braid set up is definitely stronger and more sensitive but can get overwhelming to the beginner (leader knots, wind knots, and managing tangles). This is why we discuss both set ups in the video. Thanks for your input!
Master the art of jigging first, then try braid to a fluoro leader. Otherwise braid can cause problems and you won't get the knack of jigging as easy
0 bait ?
How is that the best reel you’ve found? Lol
He must never used a Vanford.
There's no need to break the bank on top tier reels. I run an Okuma Ceymar 20 for trout twitching and a Ceymar 30 for Salmon twitching and I enjoy them more than reels that are over twice the price. Mind you, the Ceymar is one of the cheapest reels I've ever bought as well..
There is no such thing as a light action rod. The rod you use is light power with a fast action.
