About Mini jig colors:
It is best to get a variety of colors so that you can switch to what is working under varying light, water turbidity, and flow conditions. The plain, less colorful jigs are best in clear water of flowing creeks - try white, grey, or tan to simulate grubs or scraps carried by the current. In lakes and rivers the baitfish patterns that mimic a small perch, rainbow minnow, or frog colors should be used. During an insect hatch (ex: grasshopper) try to use colors that imitate critter colors.
If rain or heavy snow melt has the water running brown, go with the high visibility colors - you want maximum contrast - either bright fluorescent colors (pink, white, glow) or alternatively, jigs that are significantly darker than the flow (black).
How to Fish for Trout with the Berkley Atomic Teaser Jig:
In small flowing creeks and rivers - be sure to approach carefully so that you do not spook the trout. Look for large rocks and logs that form underwater hiding places for trout. Cast the Berkley Atomic Teaser mini jig upstream toward your target at a 45 degree angle. Let it sink and allow the flow bring it downstream toward the fish hiding place. As it nears the hiding place, twitch the rod tip slightly to cause a bounce in the jig. Fish it slowly at first with minimal twitches to get the fish interest. On subsequent casts they will not be able to resist and you should twitch more often - they will think they are missing out on something good and strike.
If no strikes - try relocating and casting downstream at a 45-degree angle and letting the flow take the jig toward hiding places. As the current takes the mini jig toward the fish, retrieve at a moderate speed with twitches to simulate bait swimming upstream. This swimming motion presents the jig in a different manner and may pique fish interest.
Lakes or deep river holes - allow the jig to get down deeper then vary retrieve while bouncing on the bottom. In some cases you may need to add split shot to the line just above the jig to get it down deeper. On some days they will hit as a jig falls to the bottom, other times during retrieve.
If fish are eating bugs from the surface - tie on a small jig and cast toward the activity. Retrieve immediately as the jig hits the water (do not let it sink) - swim the jig back toward shore and be ready for a strike.
