It has to do with material density, lip length & style, and weight. Wood is much denser than the typical hollow plastic body lures. Heavy dense hardwoods have less action than very light woods. That is why balsa wood is so popular. It takes some trial and error to get it just right. However, even a terrible bait that swerves to one side and/or lazily spins can be a magnet for fish even if it twists up your line. That's how some dying minnows look. You can even treat those "failures" as a type of jerkbait sometimes.
