    That Mini Magnet is hands down the most prolific bait I've ever used, albeit for mini fish for the most part. Bump up to the Trout Magnet or Crappie Magnet and you'll get bigger fish, but not quite as many. I swear by all the Leland products as providing the best bang for the buck when it comes to panfish. Tight lines!

Also, try the Trout Magnet minnow. I believe they have 3 or 4 colors. They are great for walleye. Always fish em on ultra lights, about 6'6" or 7 footers. Your choice on the lb test.

    Morels .. Hmmm tough choice. Lets see, I can fish 365 days per year or get Morels for about 2-3 weeks, Max. 3 hours later - "whereinthehell did I drop my rod?"
    EDIT: I purchased this kit. First impression: These jigs are *small*. For an old guy like me, with failing eyesight and disappearing finger dexterity - the plan is to attach leaders to the jigs, using my fly tying vise, because I would never be able to get them tied on in the field. I have already noticed that the hooks are EXTREMELY sharp. I hope to update soon, after a week in Michigan in June.

    Hey 618 Fishing
    I just found you're channel a few weeks ago, i'm enjoying you're stuff as most other American channels i'v been watching just fish for bass, it seems to be the national fish or something "and i can understand the attraction too, it looks fun"
    I'm guessing those fish you were catching (bluegill?) are classed as Panfish?
    Here in the UK back when i was a kid my neighbour used to take me fishing on the river and taught me everything i know.
    From fly fishing for trout to ledger fishing for barbel and chub, But i used to enjoy a technique called "Trotting" which is based on light gear and what we call a center pin reel (basically a frictionless oversized fly reel) very tricky to do right with finesse.
    Anyway we used small maggots called ''pinkies'' that look exactly like that pink lure you used fist, about the same size too only alive a wriggling.
    We would catch fish called dace, rudd and roach and if you were real lucky a beautiful fish called the grayling also known as (The Lady Of The Stream)
    Now its all carp fishing here and it's all about how big the catch is and how expensive you're gear is,
    it's kind of spoilt it for me as i just enjoyed the peace and beauty to relax and unwind.
    Anyway i just wanted to say i really enjoy you're content, and this video in particular sparked memories of way back when..
    Looking forward to more of you're vids in the future, with ❤ from UK
    Lee.

      But it's a jog which alternatively is usually to heavy for a fly rod but idk if you fly fisherman use jigs as flues, I'm still learning about fly fishing and how to catch fish with it..

      Tshark 17 i tie my own flies with up to 1/32 oz jigheads, its unpopular, but it works and its cheap to pick up a ton of crappie jigheads

    Nick, you might want to expect some small baits in that P.O. Box seeing how popular these challenges are getting. Just sayin.

    Would these any good for a survival kit, or would you need a good rod to get the bait in the right place?

    Hello
    Thank you for good video. What kind of float you use?

    If you want to properly use micro nano lures, you can try a light rock fishing rod, like japanese mebaru game rods or aji game rods, another sensitivity with micro jigs.

    There are two different species of crappie. black crappie and white.Black crappie like rivers and creeks, moving water.White crappie like ponds and lakes.Although you can catch both it's just that black crappie tend to be rare in ponds and lakes. I live on Toledo Bend Which is the second largest man-made lake and the number one crappie lake in Texas.

    I have the same kit and use it as a stinger with the larger trout magnets.

    You should try a small pencil float instead of a bobber, willing to bet you'll see more bites.

    I challenge you to try to catch a fish with cheetos cheese balls, cracker jacks, gummy worms or top ramen.

    Trout Mini Magnets work well with a fly rod. Try it.
