Performance tips

Start with a steady cast and a medium retrieve, then vary your speed and pauses to trigger reactions. Keep the line tight to preserve the walk the dog cadence, and aim casts near structure, edges, and feeding zones. Experiment with short pauses to mimic a wounded baitfish and entice tentative followers to strike.
