Ok, so you probably already know how to do this, but another mini jig technique to incorporate is the “flutter finger retrieve”… All you have to do is cast, then point your right index finger straight out over the top of your spinning reel so the line slaps against your finger as you’re reeling it in. The benefit is that you can give the jig a faster retrieve and prevent any slack in the line. When you do this you give the jig a really cool “flutter,” bounce and vibration, provoking a strike! This also works really well with other trout lures (kastmasters, roostertails, Thomas bouyants, phoebes etc.) RODNEY give this a try and if it works give me a shout out! Love your videos… Tight lines!
There are only a few people that actually teach and share their secrets like you. Most guys on here try not to even show their jig.... that's why you're so popular! We watch to learn...not just watch some guy reel in trout...Thanks again.
My friend make fun of me because I can’t catch any fish especially trout and I watch your amazing video and I will gonna try this technique thank you so much god bless
when fishing for trout i love using a 1/32oz. fish hawk Wahoo popeye feather jigs, a 1/32oz. northland fishing tackle mimic minnow Fry's and a 1/64 oz. trout magnets. also these are great for crappies as well
Trout season is coming!! Hope to see those new videos hit the page !! Can’t wait to try your pointers with the trout magnet/mini jigs! Thanks for all your info! Videos are very appreciated
Hey man, I been watching your videos for about a year now when I was looking up how to catch rainbow trout I found one of your episodes of you using mini jigs I this season me and my dad went to lake wholford' s trout opener me and my dad were caught up in heavy winds me being the goon I am have 10 lb line on my trout set up go onto the rocky point cast my natural color mini jig out there I catch my limit within 30 minutes I caught one on a big spoon and the rest of em on mini jigs all around the 2-3 lbs I have progressed ever since I watched your videos thanks for putting out the awesome content Keep It Up.
Great video Rodney. I have been using this method for about five years and have been very successful. My best day at Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood, AZ. is 55 trout in about 5 hrs. I believe that jig you had (if it was the original jig) weighed in at `1/64 oz. instead of 1/32.
Great info. I've used mini-jigs before but have never had any luck. Maybe one of the best bits of advice was the insert of "two hours later"... let's me know I might be giving up too quick. :) I have been letting it hit the bottom though so will not do it next time.
WOW!!! Super refreshing to HEAR / SEE an H O N E S T fisherman. Two things, saying (2) hours later. Then " Barely Hooked " I've viewed several of your videos tonight and I must say my over-all impression is Very Pleased, DON'T understand the thumbs down??? Must be the competition? LOL.
Another helpful video. I’m new to trout fishing and noticed 2 pound test is a sweet line weight for you. Do you like 2 pound so the fish has to pull drag? Why not use 10 pound braid that has the same diameter as 2 pound mono?
Rodney Marquez - Thanks! I watch ur channel all the time trying to get my mini jig game strong! Haha no luck yet tho! Been to the majority of SD lakes. I guess I’m having trouble knowing if my jig is in the right column. When your casting from shore are u waiting a couple of seconds after the jig hits the water before you start twitches and reeling? Thank you for posting these video. If been using you channel as my reference guide on mini jigging! Lol ✊🏽
Wish I would have watched this sooner, skunked bad today. Figured pink mice tails would do but i had them on a Carolina rig sitting there(saw from another TH-camr, that's how they caught some last year at the lake I went to). I also only slow retrieved and didn't pop the rod tip to get better action from the mini jig. Looks like I have most of the right stuff except I have a light ugly stik rod n reel with 8lbs test and used a swivel and 4lbs mono leader. I'll try going down to 2lbs maybe 4lbs test since I my rod is not an ultra light rod. Trout are a pita to catch 😂
Love your videos and appreciate you showing your techniques and valuable advice... I never caught Trouts on lures but will try it soon.. You're an expert in trout fishing.. By the way what brand you use for your 2lbs test? Amazing you can catch 7lbs trout in 2lbs line and mini-jigs... Thank you
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel thanks ! I'll definitely will , most of them I've already seen , they are all brilliant. I had learn from you how to use jigs for trout and last sunday , I've finally catch 3 trouts on a jig.
Excellent video. Very good information. I'm just looking into using jigs for trout. Trout Magnet is a good choice I heard. Question: would 4 lb. mono work just as well? I think 2 lb. is to light for me.
Hey Rodney great informational video! I was wondering what pound test line and brand do you personally use when you at throwing your mini jig? Thank you
Love the videos you spike my interest in San Diego lakes. Hope to hit some before season ends . Do you go fishing during the week?Lake always seems empty.
So I reel and shake the rod as soon as the jig hits the water? I feel like I was letting the jig sink too long in the past and never been successful with a jig
Man every time I try using trout magnets I get so annoyed because they are so light that I cant cast them very far even with 2lb test. And fish almost always ignore them. But I've had a school of trout beeline it for hookup baits minijigs

Another awesome video, Rodney! Thanks for sharing! Great tips! I have a question. I noticed that Dixon Lake just entered into a contract with Calavaras for the upcoming season....are they the same outfit that they used last year? Those fish were a nicer average size than I found elsewhere this past season.
what do you guys think of this video?! LMK!
Rodney Marquez that’s a good video. Good jobs
thank you!!!
Great job Rodney! Very informative.
Rodney Marquez is there a reason you use mono over fluro?
i like using mono for its elasticity and "give" when setting the hook set

My friend make fun of me because I can’t catch any fish especially trout and I watch your amazing video and I will gonna try this technique thank you so much god bless
Thank you sir. God bless and good luck out there. tell me how you do !
Rodney Marquez I have a question do you use straight 2lb mono or 4lb mono on your fishing line?
He ain't a friend if he ain't helping you accomplish your dreams...
Trout magnets work. Got my first brown in Colorado on a white with silver and the float that comes with it drifting a super shallow river. Fun!

Awesome vid as always!💯💪👊LET'S GO!!!
LETS GOOOO , motivated to filming more :D
This helps a beginner, like myself, so much. Thanks a lot
Absolutely AMAZING video my friend. The footage was some of the best I’ve ever seen.
Thank you thank you !!
Always enjoy the trout videos!!! I was gonna go this past Sunday early in the morning but decided sleep was more important lol
Greg Varela lolol I feel ya, did that this morning to edit this video
those underwater shots are amazing!
thank you!
These trout vids got me hooked on your channel keep it up my man! more trout vids = more likes from me!

Nice, Rodney. I'd like another video on catching
halibut.
Don Carriere I'm trying for a catch and cook:)
How about some more ultralight bass fishing? Maybe try fighting carp on ultralight. Have a nice one Rodney
No BaDe Im going to try for carp over the summer ;)
No BaDe That's sounds really fun and terrifying at the same time.
Great info. I've used mini-jigs before but have never had any luck. Maybe one of the best bits of advice was the insert of "two hours later"... let's me know I might be giving up too quick. :) I have been letting it hit the bottom though so will not do it next time.
Johnnatheman hope this vid help! Lmk how you do
Keeping the mini jig just above the trout eyes, not below. Good tip!
Great video, great patience. I would have switched colors after 45 minutes with no catches.
thank you! I was making it for the video :D
Good job Rodney I like the under water footage awesome
thanks man , appreciate it! It was so hard to get that footage haha. but I made it work!
Just to add a little more weight put a balsa bobber float on so then you have a better chance casting it further out
Great video man! Hopefully I'll land one at dixon! You should do some saltwater shark fishing! Maybe a leapord!
420 Casting I want to do a video like this catching a leopard
Love fishing them on the jig
WARBAITS jig and sight fishing for them ? Best thanggg ever! You been trout fishing lately ??
The Mini jig or cast master. I haven't been in a few years. I'm glad you're on them!
Another awesome video Rodney! Thanks for sharing
thanks man! I always love sharing vids like this. hope this helps out
Great video, I mean awesome. Small suggestion...maybe show us how to rig it up?
thanks! will try to do next time :)

hi, can you see fish under water with that sun glasses? what is the model of the pair of sun glasses?
Another great video Rodney. How about doing a video with Sierra Slammers 2" mini-swimbaits? Looking forward to your next trout video.
This video is exactly what I needed. 💪🏽
thank you, good luck out there!

Love the videos bro and you should go for bluefin or something like that!!!
Thanks! really apprciate it. I am hoping to pair up with warbaits and film some good footage next season
Thats good line thats what Big Beat tackle recomenđs.
Nice! I never changed lines ever since starting them
Looks like Dixon Lake. Great video, keep em comin.
Gerald Velasco thank you!!
Nice video! For a drop shot rig what weight do u reccomend?
Thanks ! For drop shotting for trout , I like using no more than 1/8 oz torpedo weight
Have you tried 3# test? And do you ever use monofilament? How about a little bigger jig?
Great suggestion! I have tried 3 lb before :) Its more expensive, but worth it IMO. I just like suggesting 2lb since its more available
Make a video of your personal favorite fishing knots
tokay999 I honestly just use imo knots and Palomar knots , that's all
What colors mini jigs do you prefer in stain to muddy waters. Like fishing Dixon after a rain storm
Nicely 👍 presented Rodney
What is the name of the polarized glasses you use and how good do they work?
NOVAWOLF I use cheap $10 Wal-Mart polarize Berkley glasses
I'm trying this thanks
no problem. let me know how you do
awesome video, than you. I'm primarily a trout angler. Like to see more trout vids by you. Peace :)
Thank you! I posted about 6 trout videos thus far for my so cal trout season. hope you enjoy

How often do you re spool your reel with that 2lbs test I have heard after every fishing trip if you didn’t get skunked. Thx.
jose cuevas I spool every 10 trips out
Perfect video, been trying my Gand at trout fishing and this is a huge help. What lake was this
Philip rolle I hope you and your grand dad can get some trout!
Excellent video. Very good information. I'm just looking into using jigs for trout. Trout Magnet is a good choice I heard. Question: would 4 lb. mono work just as well? I think 2 lb. is to light for me.
thank you sir! 4lb is also great . it will work great for trout magnets. where abouts are you fishing?
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel Southern California. Local stocked lakes. Also Mammoth lakes, California when seasonal.
Hey Rodney great informational video! I was wondering what pound test line and brand do you personally use when you at throwing your mini jig? Thank you
I suppose it greatly helps when you can actually see the fish in the water 🤔. We don't all have that luxury
Murky waters ?
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel There are no lakes or fisheries like this in Scotland where I live 😥
@@bfgaming2624 Very small spinners probably you're best bet, mepps thunderbug I used in reservoirs.
Where do you get your 2# test izorline from
kao6095 bass pro shops
Good video man
Thanks man! really appreciate that
stay tuned for more content :)
Well said Rod !
PRACERZ thank you :)

V Benitez haha I didn't get 500 likes :P
Love the videos you spike my interest in San Diego lakes. Hope to hit some before season ends . Do you go fishing during the week?Lake always seems empty.
Rick Lopez thanks for watching! I work full time , so fishing has been limiting lately
nice catch n good tips
Awesome video. Keep them coming. Do you think the water clarity affects the jigs you cast out? Oh! And happy new year LOL
K0ua will do ! I like using yellow or white in clear water . I've done well with those colors . Happy New Year!
So I reel and shake the rod as soon as the jig hits the water? I feel like I was letting the jig sink too long in the past and never been successful with a jig
Can you show how you rig it
Is mini jigging a sight fishing technique?
Nope it can applied with "blind casting "
Rod-man!!. Mepps #0 or #1 = planter trout killers
Francisco Venegas jr. I'm going to try next :)
Nice Vid Brother...
johnny sanchez thanks man!
Which lake is this one actually called out of all the lakes in San Diego and which is the best Santee lake to fish at
Are the trout line shy or does that only apply if your using bait?
What color izor line do you recommend?
How do you cast that tiny thing?
What part of the lake are you at?
What up brother how have you been
Bluegilling on mini trout magnet
First time fishing?
what kind of rod do you use???
Dillan Robeson 8 ft presso
Rodney's Fishing Adventure ok thanks
Good stuff buddy, what lake is that?
thanks! Mutiple lakes , however the last one you can tell its Lake dixon :D thanks for watching
That was a sienna reel
How do i find the strike zone when i first arrive at a spot?
Is the Trout Magnet your favorite ?
Man every time I try using trout magnets I get so annoyed because they are so light that I cant cast them very far even with 2lb test. And fish almost always ignore them. But I've had a school of trout beeline it for hookup baits minijigs

Jetti fishing:)
Jacob Appel I need to fish that mission beach betty
Rodney Marquez if you ever need a partner to go with, let me know! Caught sheep head last time out!
I think they only have a 7 feet one In stock ..that ok?
which lake in sd?
I got a 4'6 shakespear micro serious rod going to add 2pound line for trout going to a mini gig and trout magnet ..should I have gotten a taller one??
maybe at least 6 ft , so you can throw the light mini jig further
Cool ty.. I got a trout using the trout magnet with 2pound line at Dixon with your tips:). And no one was catching any ..ty.
Going to check out Walmart don't have a lot of budget
Or anything from wall mart you can recommend?
How about catching pan fish on mini jigs? I would like that.
awesome idea, ive caught sunfish on mini jigs, but not really bluegill . you should take a look at that video if you have the chance
What lake is that?
