I dont throw plastics like bulldawgs , medusas and other big baits like that but what do you guys like to do what your reeling them in just straight retrieval or give it a kind of jigging motion id like to hear what you guys do thanks.

Cast retrieve figure-8. Repeat until a fish eats it. They are that simple to use.

Medium intermittent sweeps mixed with straight retrieve and the occasional pause, and then every so often throw in a super jerk in there.

I think anything works. I don't fish mine the same as the two above. I jerk aggressively n summer and slow way down in fall. My buddy straight reels them a lot and usually out fishes me.

Just caught one last night on a perch colored madusa pulling to the right about 2 feet at a medium speed and then reeling in the slack and repeating to the boated. I moved a few more earlier In the day doing the same thing.

One more thing....make sure you use a high speed reel like a revo toro 60 hs to pick up the slack line as fast as possible!!

Retrieves with these baits vary. Action is part of your retreive, but one of the strong points of these lures is the ability to fish anywhere in the water column.
