Hey all. I havent really used this lure yet.I have two of them.Was just wondering what the best way to work it is? Like a jerkbait,or crank it. If you use it like a jerkbait I cant see using a standard pause as the lure will continue to sink. Any answers? Thanks

I have some small ones. I use mine as cranks. They work well.

I crank them too, but not steadily, I jerk them every once in a while during the retrieve.

I used to use these alot.

they work great.   But like alot of baits I used when I first started bassin' they are basically retired.

I would experiment with different depths.  Then count down to the level that got some action and fish it with a slow steady retrieve.

Countdowns are underrated and underutilized as far as I'm concerned. They're good for bass and anything else that swims. Retrieve it steadily or erratically, just do it at a speed that maintains the depth you want.
