From the Huddleston Deluxe website, Ken says:

"Unless I have inside information I usually start my day with a swimbait. I will hit my first 4 or 5 spots. If I consistantly get followed, but no strikes it's time for me to deadstick.

So now I have 4 or 5 spots that I know are holding fish from my previous follows. I know where they are positioned. These fish are active enough to follow but are not feeding. Using a Deluxbow ST, R.O.F. - 0 feet (floating), tie your line to either the top eyelet or mouth eyelet and start by making a long cast, letting the lure sit for at least 10 - 15 seconds. Lightly twitch the bait just enough to move the tail fin slightly. The lure should move no more than 6 - 12 inches. Pause, again 10 - 15 seconds, lightly twitch moving no more than 6 - 12 inches. Use this retrieve well past the spot of your follows. If your follows were right to the boat, use this retrieve right to the boat.

That's the easy part. From there you slow it down. This may sound easy, but seconds seem like minutes and minutes seem like hours. In extreme cases I have had 20 minute spans between twitching.

Keep in mind you know that there are fish on the spot your fishing. In clear water you will see fish move up on the bait and go back down to return 5 minutes later, and go back down then a twitch will bring it back up and so on. It reminds me of teasing a cat with a string. Sooner or later he will slap or pounce. Sometimes you may need to switch light twitching to a more firm twitch, and even chugging at times. But as a rule with deadsticking, less is more."
