I知 going to try (for me) an experiment with my fly rod. I dug out some Mustad size 8 2X streamer/nymph hooks from deep storage with my fly tying stuff. The length looks perfect for the TM. I believe guys have said that a TM is about 1/64 by itself. I知 thinking it should cast easily with my 3 Weight rod. Target water is a shallow warm water stream. The deepest water right now isn稚 much more than 6 feet or so, all rocky bottom. I should get an excellent slow water drop that should help with hang ups. Anyone try this? It should be a fun experiment.

A lot of guys do this and it proves very successful. A friend of mine recently returned for a 3 month long trout fishing trip in Colorado. In 90 days old Ed caught 1300 trout using the TM....most were on spinning gear but a lot were on the setup you just described. Works great on panfish also.

DB4D, as the old saying goes “the operation was a success but the patient died”! The TM worked perfectly, and with my best spinning rod I will try it next season with just the TM on a plain hook. There were no takers with it this PM, but I did manage a couple pans with a chartreuse popper. I think the message I’m gettin Is “we’re done”! A very nice afternoon though!

Bob these balanced bead heads have a barb made from the pin that holds the bead. The middle one has a Berkley Power Wiggler on it. It could be a plastic bait just as easily. The little barb holds bait on well. These are #12's and weigh 1/100oz.

They will work fine with a Fly rod.
Take a peep at the Mini Magnets.
