Tips & Techniques from Team PowerEdge
 On this page we will give you some of our tips and techniques we find work particularly well with these lures.
There are many rules of thumb fishermen follow, some for good reason, some not so good, some because they are family secret fishing tips handed down in the family. We won't argue any of them. Different techniques work in different waters at different times of the year. What we are offering here are the basic fishing techniques we have found true for ourselves at most times. We hope they offer some advice on success with these particular lures.
Use Quality Hardware
First and foremost, a quality swivel is required for proper action of this lure.
 Choosing the Right Color Lure
We offer these lures in a variety of colors and designs. Some are traditional , all are tried and true for different waters. We have a scale pattern that has brought us much success in many different conditions of light and season. While we realize quite a few people subscribe to the light lure light day, dark lure dark day theory, our particular opinion is change colors till you find what is working. Don't waste your time on a mistaken theory. Every water is different. Carry lures of both spectrums and change up when you're not having much luck on the first choice of color or size.
 Casting & Retrieving with the Revolution and Split Tail Twister
The best method of casting using a Split Tail Twister or Split Tail Revolution lure is to use a pattern casting technique. Start by casting the Twister or Revolution lure out and giving the lure a chance to sink. Giving a thousand count - thousand one, thousand two, thousand three - depending on the depth of water your fishing in. Then using a medium to slow retrieval, when casting stay close 10 feet to 15 feet at first, then right to left 10 feet to 15 feet, then work your way out further as to not scare the fish your're working out to. Do this until you reach your maximum range. Retrieve the lure at a speed that you just stay off the bottom. The trick is not to scare the fish, but to attract the fish to strike the Twister or Revolution. Let the Lure do the work!!!! If you take a good size Bass or Northern in an area work that area next time you're out in a few days. The next big fish will have taken its place.
Walleye - Northern Each of these fish are predatory fish. They feed on fish such as perch, smelt, or shad. The Split Tail Twister and Revolution imitate fish very effectively. Cast your lure and retrieve. If you feel a tap on your  hook, don't hesitate. Try to set the hook.
Bass like downed trees so fish around shoreline looking for cover and cast in or around these areas. Fishing is a game of trying to find where the big ones hide out. Your job is to find them. There's no better way than with the Split Tail Twister and The Split Tail Revolution. What you will find with these lures is that the faster you retrieve the closer to the surface they will swim. This makes these lures very effective around weed beds and other structures. You can cast over a potential snag and speed up as you come closer to such a hangup and as long as it's submerged far enough the lure has the potential to swim over it. Then let the lure settle more to the depth that are attracting fish. Try different retrieval speeds in the same location to settle the lure at different depths to find where the fish are located at the particular time of year you are fishing.
