Another Kamas boy here.....
The other posters had great suggestions, I would just like add that the knots you tie have an impact on the lure action.
I have found that loop knots yield better results than cinch knots when trolling.
Loop knots for trolling, cinch knots for casting. You can use loop knots for casting, just make sure the loop is small enough to prevent the hooks from catching the line while the lure is in the air.
You also might want to toy with removing the split rings that come on the lures. For the fishes sake, swap out the standard hooks with small ones.
I have had alot of success just drifting with the current using a trout pattern countdown or a tri-swivel with a sinker. The rocking motion gives your lure a natural swimming motion. Position your boat ahead of the area you want to fish and go with the flow.....
