Every single fish, I have caught with the old castaic bluegill involved slow-rolling the bait and a constant speed. Not to fast but just normal retrieve speed with a Curado. I usually let is sit for a ten count before I begin the retrieve. I have also had some strange luck with an all red arbogast ac plug. I have fished all I can with the swimbaits I have available. If you need some more tester's in a different environment I would love to help out. Do you also have a picture of it?
