Yes, the technique can work, in the right conditions. The white bass in Utah Lake are like that when they spawn, and I have found that in the correct locations on UL it is just that fast. Normally I use small spinners instead of jigs, but sometimes I do use jigs.
Keep in mind, the fish need to be schooled up, they need to be active, and this means they either are spawning, pre-Spawn, or school feeding on minnows. The UL white bass are pre-spawn and spawn. In Lake Powell, it is schools feeding on shad and Stripers are the fish. I have seen schools of Crappie do this on schools of perch minnows, but in my 60+ years, maybe twice or three times. Perch often school up that way when just feeding as a large school, but most of the time bait works better.
The method shown is not new, nor is it unique, but it is JUST A TOOL. No tool is right all the time, not even Tube Dudes fligs. LOL Sorry Pat.
