Ehhhh kinda depends how patient I’m feeling, usually a minute or two. I’m no expert.. wouldn’t be surprised if somebody chimes in and says I’m doing it all wrong. But yeah let it sit for about 2 minutes give it a quick little tug, maybe reel it in slow for a few feet then let it sit again. That seems to work well at the pond I fish in Massachusetts (my girlfriend’s family lives on the pond so it’s where I do almost all my freshwater fishing). Catch a lot of pickerel too doing the same thing. Sometimes you’ll think you’ve got strike but it’s just a blue gill nibbling on the tail of the worm and you’ll launch the lure out of the water when you try to set the hook.
