With my rodtip off to the side, pointed almost down at the water. I've had the most success working them with short quick jerks of the rod tip, using the reel only for picking up slack. The design seems to shine with that type of retrieve, sometimes giving nice pops and splashes off the surface.

I don't typically swim them, but I haven't used them enough to really form a solid opinion... as many will say, work it however the fish want them that day.

You're probably pretty close. I'm glad I got the one with only 3 tubes in it. I told you I hadn't changed it over from my last canal trip.
