I use sluggo's & other plastic baits 60% of the time; flies 30% lures and plugs 10%. Plastics range from 4"-9", mostly white. I use very little weight if any. Add a little weight or a larger hook & let it sink if you want to go deeper. I'm fishing in protected water 8'-25'. If Your fishing days, the brighter the day the deeper you go [but not always]. My retreive ranges from a "stop & go" 4"-12" jerk or snap; to a dead drift; to skipping it across the surface. All work at different times [experiment]. You want your bait to look ALIVE & like it's wounded and, or trying to escape. Throw what ever your fishing with out in front of you and see what it looks like with EACH retrieve. There are very few things that I just throw out and just reel back.
