Some of the bestfish I have caught on a jig where not near the bottom at all.A slow retrive up current kinda like trolling.Instantainious Rod Bending Monster like hits.I like em on the bottom don't get me wrong.Gives ME a sense of what is going on.Most jigg hits come on the drop After I pop the rod.In a 5 Knot current that can be 10' easily who knows if the bass heard the last tick or not.I think they feel the disturbance an it gets their attention.It looks like food they have a millisecond to decide to eat it. (like a batter at the plate with a 95 MPH fastball comin on, or is it the changeup?)which mechanism does a bass use to zero in on a jig at close range inner ear or lateral line.Which noises effect these motion detectors best.It is important to pay attention to what happens when a fish strikes.That I do know.

It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
As always a lot of great input from a lot of talented anglers out there.
I would have to agree with most of what’s been posted and I’m inclined to go along with everything Crazy Alberto suggests.
On those bright sunny days a plug from directly below is just a silhouette to the fish as shown in the picture below. But remember the reflection will give them a perfect mirror image of the top of that lure when they come in from an angle.
