Magic Swimmer in the surf?

[bart]

I know some people do well on the magic swimmer or knock offs in the surf, but I have a hard time keeping it down. I'm usually throwing it in moving water or where there is a hard sweep. I have no trouble keeping it down in the ditch even when the tide is ripping, but for some reason I can't make it dig anywhere else, even with similar conditions.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fish it in the surf? I'm thinking a slower retrieve might be the ticket when there's some wave action.

Thanks in advance.
