When I get a fish to come in with these baits, I usually try to shake it and slowly raise it away from the fish. (like it's trying to get away)
If this doesn't work, I usually try a long pause.
Last resort is to have a second rod rigged and ready.
When you see the fish come in on your vexilar (or camera) reel up quick, and get the other rig down to the fish.
Hope this helps,
Wiener
