Paul, in calm water you would need to reel these fairly fast to get them to swim. In fast water like at an outflow when the tide is dropping out, these will swim nice and lazy in the fast current.

Where my dad and I fish them is the base of a very long, fast rip. You cast out to the front edge and let the current pull it thru. Once it's in the current you won't even need to reel, the flow of the water pulling against it makes it swim. The lead helps the cast and slows it down so its not wobbling back and forth a 100 miles an hour in the current..

On an open beach these would be useless.
