Tucson Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 I'm new at C-rigging and was wondering how fast a retrreive to use. I read somewhere to retreive it like a crank bait but it doesn't feel right to me. My instincts tell me to slow way down and work it back like a weightless senko. What are your opinions? Quote
Shad_Master Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 Like a Senko is a pretty good description -- use a sweeping motion to the side with your rod and then pause to let the lure settle down before sweeping again. Keep a fairly tight line on your main line so that you can feel the strikes and then use a sweeping hookset. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted May 15, 2006 Super User Posted May 15, 2006 I've used Shad-Master's method more than others. I've read articles that suggest a medium retrieval speed also. Quote
Tucson Posted May 15, 2006 Author Posted May 15, 2006 Thanks for the input - isn't this forum great for learning about fishing? Quote
