The places I have fished recently have somewhat fewer fish than wherever this video was shot.

I suspect very few Coho would even blink at a short floated jig laying dormant under a float.  It does happen but it is pretty rare.

However, if you twitch baby twitch, you will get a far more aggressive response by almost all salmon and trout species and are more likely to feel a bite. 

The only exception that would likely prove the rule is a purple/pink jig with shrimp and a river full of chum.

The video says many bites didn't move the float. Need a more sensitive rod?

The steelhead in this video look old and stale in stagnant water. I'm pretty sure not that many fresh hot aggressive steelhead in faster water would pass up a jig or anything at all like those ones do
