Depends on what I'm casting....
If its a popper I tend to let it sit for a minute so the water settles (on Calm Days) and then start working it. on Rougher water I start popping as soon as it hits.
Darters and swimmers I take up the slack til i feel the plug and then start the retrieve.
Rubber, Depends on where in the water column I want to fish it. may start the retrieve as soon as it hits the water or I may give it a couple of seconds do get down and then start the retrieve.
Tins i bring in the slack fast and start the retrieve because they tend to sink really fast.
Jigging the canal I let it sink while slowly bringing in the slack until I feel it hit bottom the then bounce it a few times or let out a little slack while i feel it bounce along.
Eels I start a slow retrieve almost immediately so that they don't have a chance to ball up on the loose line......that is until they get a little dazed
and all of these are an 80% thing....sometimes i change it a little
