DRTUSAfishing.com VTS 5 is the closest match for a bait that “pushes water vertically.” Its vibrating tail and horizontal fins are designed to move water in multiple directions, and the slow sink helps keep it in the strike zone.
Deps DEATHADDER is a subtle soft bait with a tight vibration and baitfish profile, good when fish want a natural presentation rather than a loud one.
Deps RADSCALE fits if you mean a lure that works in the upper water column. It’s a surface pencil bait for bass and is best when fish are feeding near the top.
Technique notes

Rig Deps DEATHADDER on a jighead, Texas rig, or drop-shot when you want a finesse baitfish look.
Work Deps RADSCALE with free-winding and irregular walking/skating retrieves on the surface.
When to switch
