The long jerk moves right below the surface of the water by pulling the rod largely forward and accompanied by biological ripples like baitfish. The jerk width can be shortened to the tempo and it does not lose its balance and does not jump out into the water. Even with a continuous toe-switch, it has a high response like a small pencil, giving you a fleeing baitfish. You can do whatever action you want to take. Change the action to create a timing experience. Thats why you can use your mouth even if you have been sad to flip-back and sadly looking back.
