Big water, big wind. Reel them fast to get them off the bottom, Then slow it down, so they swim at the depth you want. |

Another way is if
you have an open beach with almost all sand you can let that bad boy sink to the bottom and then very slowly reel along with a quick hop / jerk here and there along the full retrieve. So mostly working the bottom up 1 to 2 feet. Be prepared for big hits if they are down low.
Heavy sinkers are great to find bass cause you can work all the depths with different retrieves till or if you find them.

I've heard they can be deadly if you let them hit a sandy bottom and puff up the sand a bit... just like a sand eel  |
Lookin for my big'un!

Go to a deep water spot count em down in intervals 3-4-6 etc.then slow retrieve.U can add twitches or not let the fish tell ya what to do.in time u will figure out what type needle is better in what type o water.Get urself a few more different types.larger bodieswith similar wieght will sink slower.There's alot of variables.If u really wanna learn the lure u have to answer ur own questions.
