I always fish slow. Never had any luck fishing fast.

I start fast, but slow seems to work best. 

i catch way more fishing slow. jigs, worms ned etc. i dont know if its because alot of our waters are clear and pressured or what. some days they will blast a spinnerbait or bladed jig but alot of times they wont. maybe its just a confidence thing. ive been trying to fish power techniques more to get better at it.

Excluding frogs, fast...but including them the answer is slow.

I like to try to locate fish by using a spinnerbaits if I can, then slow down and pick the area apart. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Bass go through changes in activity level hourly from being very active, active, neutral, inactive and very inactive.

About 20% or 5 hours out of 24 hours bass are very catchable with several lures and presentations. About 20% bass are more difficult to catch and don’t case down prey or lures, slower is better. 60% of the time bass very difficult to catch when inactive. 

If you use only faster moving lures you are targeting about 20% of the bass population. Slower lures both the very active and neutral behaving bass are catchable, about 40% of the bass population or double your odds. Wasting time trying to catch inactive bass or about 60% of the bass population is the difference between a good and being skunked.

I would say fast, I really don't pay attention to my hand speed that much..
