My own method is to pace my retrieve so that regardless of where the line has drifted in the current, the lure is being reeled in at a somewhat consistent pace. I normally count by 1000's, like we all did in sandlot football games (1-1000, 2-1000, 31000 etc...) I will get one crank of the reel per count. If the current is ripping strong, you will probably want to slow the cranking down. With the Slug-gos, my goal is to bounce on the bottom as much as possible. I hope this helps.
