How do you guys work needles?

[Skip N]

I havent really used needles that much and im curious what the best method is to use these things. Do you just cast and retrieve or twich them around to give them action? Just looking for the basic retrieve. I'm assuming you need to jerk the rod and make it dart around seeing how a straight retrieve doesnt give much action to the plug. Just curious how alot of you guys work these plugs!
