Exactly, that’s why I can’t figure out why at times they hit my brother’s aggressively popped cork and jig. I’ve watched his jig on LS. It just 2’ up and quickly falls back down. This happens over and over again.

NOTE - I tried this quick motion with my jigging rod and they hate it. Is it the popping sound of the cork that turns them on?
I suspected long ago that the float noise and visibility very likely interests them . they likely "hear/feel it" it with their lateral line and or see it and or both if the water is clear enough.
I have been known to flick my rod tip in the water to get them to thinking it's time to feed , crappie are legendary at waiting for left overs under a feeding frenzy ....
