One thing that did emerge during my years of lure making, was that jointed surface lures scored heavily over the straight versions. And both types were given equal fishing time.
The commercially made ''Hawg Wobbler'' being a classic example. The wobble and click these jointed lures give out should never be under estimated. So much so that all my surface lures over the last 25 plus years have been jointed versions.
I think the more movement any lure has whether it be hard or soft lure or fly the more fish it will take. I have given other anglers trout lures that are killers in their original form very long tails they get pull after pull and then trim the tail and get nothing at all attraction is all in the movement you just have to ignore the pulls till they hit the lure.
