I know this is a real noob question, but since I have only fished salmon and trout by float, drifting or casting spoons, I have no experience using J-13s so I am asking other than just casting and reeling in, is there any technique that is used in fishing with them?

The salmon I've caught on J-13's have all been on straight retrieves. I've tried fishing them topwater once, but with no success. Salmon love to chase things, so I think a steady retrieve is always a good option.

Cast retrieve 'till your arms fall off...LOL

I like to reel them in as slow as I can while still retrieving fast enough to get the lure to dive.

They can be deadly in dirty water.

Ok, simple cast and retrieve. That is straight forward enough. I picked one up today, of course now I want to go try it.
