I am doing a poll to see how most people fish them. Please vote and also tell my why you fish them the way you do.

Thanks for participating.

I do both, snapping off the bottom imitates a shrimp jumping and it triggers strikes that way and the cast and straight retrieve is for a baitfish imitation so if they are feeding on shrimp a snap action or cork which gives you the same jerky shrimp imitation will do good and when they are feeding on baitfish the slow retrieve works good as well as a cork if slowly dragged along or just occasionally popped but letting it sit still mostly with it drifting with the current if you can and just the water ripples will give it a little tail wiggle to make it look like its swimming in place or if its flat calm I will give it little tugs about an inch or two but not popping it.
