since we don't have docks on the Tenn-Tom, we don't do much of that. the 1/32 oz. jigs we use very much as you would use a wet fly on a fly rod. we just flip it out to the end of our line and slowly "swim" it back to the boat. It's very much like "shooting", but we're targeting underwater structure.
colors pretty well depend on water clarity and how much sunlight comes into play. any combination of chartruese, blue, pink, purple, or green will work. hope this helps. lol
