When you're fishing this setup with worms/minnows, do you reel and work the bait or just let it sit in the current?

When I fish with the three way swivel, I just let it sit.
Minnows do a lot of the work themselves if you don't kill them when rigging them and worms are the same.
The good thing about it, is you will pretty much catch fish every time, downside is if you don't have a proper weight and there is a current, you will get snagged on something and that's when I would take the swivel off and just use a float, hook and split shot and cast into the drifts, pending of the drift, cast at ten o'clock and don't reel till it hit's two o'clock, or vice versa if the drift is flowing the other way.
