Wow, good question. And I'm in no way and expert and dont use em to often. But after thinking about your question it came to me that 75% of the time I use them vertically from a boat, float tube, but most of the time while standing on ice. While fishing them vertically at times I like to imitate a crawdad jumping off the bottom by using 2 or 3 short quick jerks until the tube is 18" - 3' off the bottom and then drop or flutter it back down often in a stop and go fashion. This seems to work well for everything I fish for vertically.
Casting them: I tend to bump them over structure or along the bottom in a stop and go, or simply swim them at different depths in a stop and go retrieve witch again allows the tube to lift and fall..
