Sloooooooow can work awsome! I bet a lot of guys here have take there biggest fish on a slow retrieved needle.
At the same time twitching can help and chaning retrieves works well too. Personally I get a lot of strikes while the needle is falling after I've paused my retrieve. I've also given up on my retrieve and scored a nice bass as I was literally ripped in the needle.
Searh for posts by Bassmaster about how he fishes his plugs. I've used his methods with a lot of success. Captivating reading too!
