Well this is an often mentioned technique in Japan for SeaBass, where it generally done by fishing Vibration lures. The idea I believe is to cover lots of water at speed and rely on the chase reponse of the fish to get takes. Ie like twitching something past a cat will get it to swat at it, regardless of whether it looks like a mouse or not. Now we over here in the UK don't tend to use this technique that much, but I think it does have some merit. By covering lots of ground quickly, you are better able to find isolated areas that are holding active fish (having found them, you can then target them with any technique you like). Rather than blindly concentrating on a smaller area that may or may not hold fish.
Now it isn't just a hooked or landed bass that you are looking for with this technique, boils,flashes, bumps or basically any thing that indicates bass. That is the result that you are looking for.
Personally although I do use this technique, I tend to pick a lure suited to the area -Shallow - then a Feed, slightly deeper the SLD-F, but the basics are the same. Quick retrieves, Pay VERY careful attention the feel of the lure and the water through which it is passing.
I really hope that some of the other members will add their thoughts about this technique, and the gear they use for it.
