ok so ive been reading and hearign that beat up swimbaits that have for example paint scraped off and after they have been dragged on the bottom and what not, seem to be better. why is that so? could it be becasue people are saying they catch fish is because they actually fish them like they should be? like not just throw in open water but drag them up the flat or a bank or w/e the case might be

Thank you for any input
