Anyone else never catch fish on jigging style hard baits?

I’ve had good luck with Rippin Raps on really cold days where hole hopping just really isn’t a good idea and you really need to try and get the fish to come to you. A lot of times when I’m working a lure like a rippin rap I’ll have fish hit the deadstick sitting next to me. I agree though these lures have to be worked right otherwise they do more harm than good.
