I think adding live bait spoils or severely alters the action of most lures. While I prefer running lures clean, a small piece of worm doesn't effect the action too much and it provides the smell, sight, and taste of meat finicky brookies sometimes demand. On arriving at a lake, choose a likely area and sink at least a half-dozen holes per angler over a variety of depths and structure. Rig up, choose a hole, and start jigging. One of jigging's advantages over set-lines is moving from hole to hole and covering more water is easier.
Confidence plays an enormous part.
Without it, jigging becomes repetitive and boring. When you start catching big, wild specks, releasing most of them is important to ensure healthy populations in future. Fortunately, jigging increases chances for successful release, because trout don't swallow the hook as deeply as when inhaling live bait. The main disadvantage with jigging is we are unable to lounge around a fire and wait for a hit. Our only respite comes with the decisive strike of a metal-eating brookie.
