First, you need a jig-stick (AKA ultra-light rod that bounces easily at the tip) & a matching reel. 1/32 mini-jigs are the typical size. Cast out, let the jig drop about 2 ft. below surface & start dipping the rod tip up & down while slowly reeling in. Some guys I know who always jig for trout do awesome. Each guy can catch & release about 20+ trout on a good day following a plant. I am not a jig master like them but, I do see & learn. I like using other methods, though.
I have found that stockers react well to Kastmasters, Super Dupers, spoons, & mini-jigs. Colors for the metals: I start with gold, copper, silver, & then white w/red. In that order. A red stripe or a glitter/reflection sticker helps as an addition. Colors for the jigs: motor oil w/red flakes, charcoal w/flakes, white w/red flakes, milk w/corn flakes (oh, wait a minute that's MY breakfast - LOL!), & any other colors w/flakes. :7
I can't give you any advice on the big mommas. The biggest I ever caught was 4.5 lbs. I was dragging a worm.
P.S. - make sure your hooks are sharp. When you get a strike dip for a second then pull. I missed soooo many by not doing that. I do have a quick reflex. I hope my blabbering helps you some if any? Good luck! Let us know how it went.
