yup, those will work. that's how i caught my bass on it. pick up the slack, twitch, twitch, reel, pause or vary ur retrieve rythems. if u chug it and twitch on the top, u will see a bluefish making a quick dash for a kill on the surface on the first wave or so and your retireve, then you got it. also, check ur knots before u use it because its a worthy plug for you not to lose it. trust me, i have done it twice!
