Snapping necks Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have a kind of strange question but I saw magnetic beads for sale and did a search on the field and stream site and saw some info on the possibility of that working in the fishermans favor. I make musky and pike spinners mainly and that would be an easy addition. Has anyone heard of this or tried it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I do know they make steel plated beads, however I have never heard of magnetic ones! Out of curiosity what would be the advantage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapping necks Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I know that sharks and other salt water predators have sensors for picking up magnetic fields of prey but i dont know of that being the case for freshwater species. The article didn't really state how it worked but it said the guy who was making the magnetized flys said he was catching more fish. The article is a little dated. Just wondering if it was a scheme or if anyone had any evidence of it working.

mark poulson Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I hope bass do like magnets, because I just made three hard frog lures that use them to hold the hook tines in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
