I've done well with the red head / white body 25 in fall.
100 feet back in 35 feet of water off Breezy - 22 to 30 inches.
Off Cove Point - did OK with a tandem. 4 oz bucktail and a 25 in solid chartuese.
The black back / chartruese body 30 was good in Decenber - I let it back 40 feet on a downrigger set at 45 - fish were holding at 50 feet and this combo got them.
The Stretch tracks tighter then other trolling rigs - often will cause tangles.
Some put it off a three way - dropping a 2-4 oz parachute. This helps it follow the path of other lures. a 6 foot / 15 foot leader is fine.
One caution - when reeling them in - try to point rod over the side. The Stretch will dig in as it gets close to boat - then POP out. I've seen them fly right into cockpit.
