Well the thing is not to keep the bait stable(at least for me)
I use the current to get action on my presentation.
So I cast to 9 or 10 oclock, count down till it hits bottom, then I start retrieving. Sometimes with pops, twitches, jiging motions, depending on the lure/bait.
With plastic cast to 10 or 11 oclock, and beging the retrieve at 1 or 2 oclocks and that current imparts action and helps get your lure down quick
