Why is a special set up needed to vertically jig a fairly light jig?

I'd see the blobs of red between 40 - 50ft on the finder, toss out the jig up current so I'd have a few well maybe one true vertical jig(s), but was humbled every try last year. I'll be at it again this year, and can't wait to hook up, that first fish will be extra sweet.

I still believe the saying "they hit everything and they hit nothing" , I love the everything days.
