There are a few days on the water that stand out in my mind because they taught me just how much color can matter. One of those days is the first time I really saw what would eventually become the Sowbug Trout Magnet.

I was fishing the Little Red River with a friend of mine—we called him Q.

Q had gotten his hands on a few mess-up Trout Magnets that were made when the machine was changing from white to black. One of those colors ended up being a pretty plain-looking gray. Nothing about it really jumped out at you.

That day, we were catching a few fish, but the bite just wasn’t quite right. We knew there were plenty of trout around, but it seemed like a lot of fish were seeing our baits and saying no.

Then Q put on that gray Trout Magnet.

He caught one.

Then he caught another.

Then he caught a brown trout.

Before long, Q was absolutely kicking my butt.

Eventually, he was kind enough to share a few with me, and it became pretty obvious that this wasn’t just a coincidence. That simple gray color was getting fish to eat when the other colors weren’t.

What really caught my attention was that it wasn’t only catching stocked rainbows. It was catching wild brown trout too.

On the Little Red, I pay close attention when a color consistently catches both. Those wild browns can be pretty good judges of whether you have something that looks right.

That gray mess-up eventually became the color we now call Sowbug.

It’s still one of my favorite Trout Magnet colors, but I probably remember the lesson behind it even more than the color itself.

Sometimes the best fishing discoveries happen by accident—and sometimes the best lessons are learned when a friend catches more fish than you.

We always enjoy hearing how anglers are using Trout Magnets in different situations.

Adam recently sent us a report from a trip to the North Carolina coast. He normally fly fishes, but decided to try Trout Magnets with his 8-weight fly rod—and said the saltwater fish absolutely loved them.

They worked so well that he kept fishing Trout Magnets until he ran out by the end of the week.

We love seeing anglers take a bait they already trust and find new ways to use it.
Thanks for sharing the report, Adam!

Have you ever caught a saltwater fish on a Trout Magnet?

The Trout Magnet D2 Jig is a premium hand tied marabou jig that is great for trout, bass, and steelhead. Which color works best in your home waters?

Which one are you starting with?
The ORIGINAL split - tail Trout Magnet or the newer Trout Magnet Cross?

Why does a Trout Magnet work?

10/12/2026

Black and green is one of those Trout Magnet colors that seems to work just about anywhere.

It is one of the most versatile color combinations we make because it gives fish a strong, easy-to-see profile while still looking natural enough to work in a wide range of water conditions.
Whether you are fishing clear water, stained water, a creek, a tailwater, a farm pond, or a lake, black and green is a color we have confidence in.

We have seen it catch trout, crappie, bluegill, bass, and plenty of other species along the way. That is one of the things we love about the Trout Magnet—you do not have to overcomplicate it. Sometimes one good color, fished the right way, can catch almost anything that swims.

If we were putting together a small box with only a handful of dependable colors, black and green would be hard to leave out.
Have you caught fish on the black and green Trout Magnet? If so, what species?

To a brown trout, white and chartreuse can be hard to ignore. That bright contrast is a great way to trigger a reaction bite—especially on a D2 Jig.
