On the first cast into a spot I count it down all the way to the bottom. That way I have an idea of how to work the water column after that first cast. My "twitches" aren't what you would think it is. All I do is shake my wrist a little more less a quiver like you would shaking a new rod to see how it feels. Couple that with a slooooooow steady retrieve and that is about it. Sometimes I won't even do that much just retrieve it but only on the Caney will I actually twitch a good pop because the trout really seem to respond.
I have the reel with 2lb line as well.
