the right speed for spinners is just fast enough to make the blad spin, and keeping from dragging on the bottom of the lake... no jerking nessesary. It comes around to be between 7-12 mph...
to fast you will get line twist even with a barrol or swivel snap. to slow and your dragging on the bottom of the lake.
start with short cast in clear water where you can watch the lure come in several times to make sure you get the cranking speed down right. then cast out further and in to deaper waters.
If you can find a river or stream with current that speed you can cast out and wave your rod like a wond and not have to reel in.... mind you, you may want to be standing on a bridge or ancored in a boat.
currents that fast are pretty difficult to stand up in...
