baits that define a technique or category

[thinkingredneck]

Sometimes we refer to a technique by the name of the original or most famous lure.  For instance "Rattle trap" for lipless crankbait, "Rooster tail" for in-line spinnerbait, "spook" for walk the dog type bait.  Can you think of others?  May vary by geographic area.

"Chatterbait" for vibrating jigs

 

"Pop-R" for poppers

 

A newer one coming into that realm, "Biffle Bug" for swing head jigs

[J.Vincent]

I think Senko was an Original bait by Gary Yamamoto and is now the universally accepted moniker for Soft Plastic Stick Baits....before that I think the Slug-O was popularly used to describe soft plastic stick worms.

Trickworm seems to indicate any straight tailed  medium sized worm.  Beaver for flat flipping bait.

All I know is it drives me crazy to hear someone refer to a non-Rebel brand popper as a “Pop R”.

The term "flukes" is used as a generic term to describe soft plastic jerkbaits even though fluke is the Zoom brand.

You are correct but to me a Slug-go is more like a Fluke

Beetle spin for small jigs with spinners,, Arkie jig, twister tail

You must admit, that Slug-O is not easily categorized : ) and probably way less popular then it should be !

[Quarry Man]

pink slug-o is one of my favorite striper baits.

Cat, when slug os first came out they were hot in my area. Funny how these things come and go. The zoom fluke is an " improved " sluggo.

Not sure about "improved" ?

[Munkin]

When I started bass fishing ther was no better lure than the albino slug-go.

Shaky head when you put a worm on a jig head. Should be called a “jig head worm.”

The term bum was used to define a jig worm combo; pea head or ball head jig and worm dates back to early Creame worms. Dart or darter head jig and worm very popular in the 80's long before a shaky head jig and worm.

Ned rig defines a specific jig worm combo.

Thanks Tom, before the shaky head I only ever heard it called a jig head worm.
