Thanks man you have really helped a lot and provided me with a lot to think about. This place is awesome I really appreciate all the advice

I have been fishing in 15-30 feet of water. The Huddleston is the only swimbait I own as of right now. It is starting to make more sence how to do the retrieve. I love throwing a jog and it seems very similar as far as how slow you fish the bait. Knowing that you don't necessarily want the bait dragging the bottom, but rather swimming right above the bottom really helps a lot I have been locating places that have steep drop offs and throwing it from shallow to deep 10-15 feet out to 30-35 feet and letting it have contact dragging down the slopes. Does it sound like I am targeting the proper spots with the bait. The temps are still in the upper 40's

Thank you so much for the replies. I lot of what I have read said fish as slow as you can then go slower so I was taking that to heart. I was dragging the bottom and pulling up dead leaves and such. I wanted to try to swim it more but like I said didnt want to start fishing it too fast.

I have been throwing a Huddleston on a lake that is known to have good sized bass with no success. Today I actually gained a ton of confidence catching a 3 pounder at a farm pond. The question I have is when slow rolling on the bottom I am constantly dragging up leaves or grass. I feel like this may be an issue but don't know. Any help would be awesome.
