RIJ, usually Ill give a darter a good pop w/ the rod to get it started digging in the water. If theres good current or a rip you can reel very slow and the darter will do its own stuff. If its slow water, you can reel and jerk the rod to keep the darter down and digging. Basiclly you dont want to pump the rod like a swimmer, pull the tip up and reel in and keep the line tight. Thats the key
