More files attached.

Seems like I can only attach 3 files at a time.

Very interesting like contemplating your naval after smoking pot.
Soft plastics; why are Senko’s so effective at catching bass with a slight waggle?
Hard crank baits...don’t the hooks make noise?

By Senko baits do you mean the soft plastic stickbaits rigged like a kids see-saw pivoting around the hook in the middle?

They "quiver" if moved. That what you are talking about?

Can you do something for me, please? I don't have access to soft baits like that.

No doubt they come in different lengths. Presumably you use them and have some.

Can you measure the diam (thickness) accurately and tell me (or show me with a image/photo) what that is, please?

You've seen what I said about vertical tree branches in current. They vibrate horizontally across the run.

These senko stickbaits are the same as tree branches (they even look like a tree branch) EXCEPT they're horizontal underwater and (if there's no run in a bass lake) they vibrate when even moved gently vertically. Had a senko enthusiast talk about the lure "quivering".

Do you think that "quivering is actually vibrating?

The same laws of physics (Strouhal and Von Karman) apply universally to objects affected by vibrations that they self-generate due to the kinetic energy in moving water (or a lure moved in still water). All over the world.

Hook noise

Yes, the hooks generate noise but that's got nothing to do with vibration generation that the lateral line detects.

Fish can hear sound but not with the lateral line.

They hear noise with their version of "ears" which are bony otolith discs inside the head and levered from the gas bladder. Gas bladder changes shape very slightly as sound pressure waves travel through water and fish's body.

The fish bladder/lever/otolith mechanism is similar to the lever/anvil system used by humans who use ears to collect sound while fish use gas bladders.

Fish and humans have about the same level of response to audible frequencies. However, sounds/noise that fish can hear travels much faster through water.
