I've not use the Little Atom Micro's,but am a die hard clean Ratso man,have spanked huge bulls to 10 inches and hundreds of slab Crappie,my best colors are glow-brite and chartreuse,once you learn to finesse fish plastics,you don't want to bait fish any more,they work on a tough bite and they work when there pounding. Nice Gills,I caught a pile on Wedsday, gills and slabs on clean ratso's,I'm done,the freezers full and the shore line is gone.
