Reading between the lines in that story might tell you that the action that we see as looking "fishy" in a plug might be the furthest thing from what a real fish actually swims like. Instead of all these wide wagging swimmers that we all think are so sexy, maybe a tighter, mild undulation is the key to more fish on wood? Maybe why so many big fish whack needles.
