If you drop it back on the slide, they usually hit it on the sink. If you don't get bit on the sink, a stop and go retrieve seems to work well. If you troll one, glue it to the head and make sure it's rigged perfectly straight or it'll spin. Personally, I prefer to drop back a live bait on the slide with a 1 oz torpedo sinker in front of it. First bait in the water almost always gets bit.
