Something called "atavistic response." The same reason a cat chases a piece of yarn drug across the floor. Almost reflexive.
It's called a reaction strike, the jig itself is supposed to somehow represent the fish and the flash represents the way a dying baitfish or a group of them swimming looks. The spinner also adds noise.
Everyone so far has hit the question on the nose. Vibrations, flash, quick movements all cause trigger strikes with fish.
it is becaus of its sound or/and atrractive color bass dont have good i sight so they use sonar and notice spenners and jigs ar bright colered
Everybody has answered this question well so far, a lot of it has to do with the bass' instincts, they don't exactly have the largest brains, so they don't have much of a thought process, just a natural reaction. Color, sound, and appearance are all what cause the bass to hit.
they move reallike and they provoke the nbass into a strike
Think of Dardevles and bullfighters.
its a lot of reflexes and scent
they imitate a shad.
flash, vibration, jigs look like crawfish
