A strange rig that I catch them on when they are doing this is a round or popping style float (not stick style) and a lil George spinner. The weight of the float and tail spinner can be cast a long way and basically all the float does is keep the spinner a particular depth which is generally shallow. Chuck it and then rip it back with intermediate pauses. The spinner spins as it rises and falls which the flash I think helps.
