Reel-Reel-Reel-Pause Retrieve Situation: Boat presentations for tuna or other offshore predators feeding on skinny forage near the surface. Effective when casting to breaking fish or working plugs across rip lines, contour breaks, or offshore shoal edges. Rod Angle: 1. Hold the rod tip low and pointed toward the plug for control during the crank sequence. 2. Raise slightly during the pause to keep tension without dragging the lure. Retrieve Motion: Three steady cranks followed by a deliberate pause. The plug wobbles forward, then rises subtly in the water column when paused. Reel Speed: Medium during the crank sequence, then slow to neutral on the pause to maintain connection without pulling the lure forward. Tactic: Repeat the cadence of reel, reel, reel, pause to imitate a baitfish surging and stalling. The pause is the strike trigger, often drawing commitment from tuna or stripers tracking the plug
