last spring i was fishin a zara spook with a buddy and the same thing was happenin...lots of short strikes. I broke that by moving up in lure size (to the big 'un), replaced the treble hooks and let the lure sit there for between 10 and 20 seconds between twitches instead of just 2-6 seconds like I usually do....

good luck man
