Right now try stroking it, snap it then pull slowly for about 3 or 4 ft (imagine the bait only being about 4 to 6 inches off bottom) then reel down to it and repeat. experiment with colors but give them enough time because you may not be on fish right away. have 3 or 4 rods tied up with different colors and sizes - and use only them to become very proficient.

In fact that works on any bait, just throw the bait you want to learn a trip or two .... nothing else. You'll find 2 or 3 ways to use the bait you never really know and I recommend writing down your technique you found that works so you can remember.
