I have made the comment before here on PBF that the CC way of swimming reminds me of sharks. We see lots of sharks in open water while diving in the Bahamas. Mostly reef sharks but occasionally others.

The first year I fished my main pond one of my favorite baits was a curly tail jig cast and retrieve. I caught a number of CC along with the BG and LMB with that simple small lure. That told me the CC would strike at moving targets and most likely any small fish that got close enough.

My wife fishes specifically for CC (mostly so she can put down the rod and do her knitting) whereas I fish mostly for BG with jigs. I'll catch as many CC as she does.
