I have always experimented with the retieve. If I am sure the fish are
there, I try and figure out how to "trick" em. g But my experience has
been that my best hook ups have come within seconds of the intial

Sometimes when I'm worm fishing if I don't get a hit on the initial
drop I'll just reel it back in. Since 90% of my hits come on that drop
it almost seems like I'm wasting my time after that.
