Hey Lenny,

Welcome to the addictive world of Bass Fishing!

For a start you can cast the soft lure out on a texas rig and retrieve the lure very slowly. (basically just reeling it in slowly) You can also try a giving the lure short "tugs" to create a bit more action. If you go onto youtube there are a number of videos that can also assist.

Hope it helps!
