what is the best way to finish your retreave while fishing glide/jerk baits? these baits do not really seem to figure 8 all that well for me but maybe i am not doing it correctly.

Sometimes, especially in clear water, I'll stop the bait a dozen feet from the boat, let it sink and do a little death-wobble, then jerk it back to life with a fast retrieve that includes a L-turn at boatside. This gives following fish an opportunity to see the bait in their face a few seconds longer before it tries to 'get away' m

Actually, even if it looks like they don't figure-8 well, they do seem to hold the fishes attention. Suicks tuned to have a butt wiggle do well in the 8.
I find trying to twitch/jerk them close to the boat drives more fish away as compared to a fast '8' or 'O'

Good Luck!
