The following was posted in another site, which explains the action imparted on the jig by a fly-rod:
Well First drop I snag one then Two and the old Fart gets up off his empty Bucket and leaves ........Maybe to go get Some of those #*&%$$* lights. But that was it! Nothing doing although the squid were swimming by left and right we only snag a few more. Stayed till the marine battery started to drain down Some kid from Pennsylvania called me and the Kids over to a small pod of squid standing in about three feet of water. He never fished salt water but saw the squid and grabbed his Fly rod and was nailing them like no one else ........Yeah dam fly rodders. The Kids and I have to admit got a kick out of watching this intelligent bait .....they Examined the fly.....Circle it while changing color like a Times Square neon light all the while probing the lure with their Tentacles. If the movement or feel was right they seize it. Incredible Meanwhile they would fly up to a plastic Yozuri Fish type lure Eyeball it change color a few times and move on.......Frustrating
