New Bass Man Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I remember when I first started to learn about bass fishing, figuring out the abbreviations bout killed me. So to help some of the really newcomers out, I thought I'd start a thread with abbreviations. I'll start: C-Rig OR Crig - Carolina Rigging T-Rig OR Trig - Texas Rigging BPS - Bass Pro Shop KVD - Kevin Van d**n TW - Top Water Many, many others. Quote
master_baiter Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 this one bugged me EWG - extra wide gap BM - bait monkey BPS - bass pro shop Quote
Super User Marty Posted September 14, 2005 Super User Posted September 14, 2005 MH, medium heavy ML, medium light UL, ultralight FLW, Forrest L. Wood BS, what fishermen do Quote
ernel Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 c/b or crank- crankbait s/b- spinner buzzer- buzzbait t/m- trolling motor t/x- tournament lcd or graph- depth finder ch- chartruse wh-white bk-black bl-blue Quote
New Bass Man Posted September 14, 2005 Author Posted September 14, 2005 Ok--how would a paragraph using these abbreviations read? c-rig pb s/b wh t-rig MH t/m bk BPS ML t/x bl T/W FLW lcd EWG c/b ch The sentence illustrates my point. Quote
Super User Raul Posted September 14, 2005 Super User Posted September 14, 2005 BS, what fishermen do ROFLMAO !! Quote
Minuteman Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 OK, I know what a DINK is, but is that short for anything? Like "DI?" Not Keeper, I know they used to call yuppies with No Kids DINKS, Dual Income No Kids. Quote
Super User Raul Posted September 14, 2005 Super User Posted September 14, 2005 Dink = any fish under 3 pounds ! ;D Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 14, 2005 Super User Posted September 14, 2005 Dink What Rick Clunn was hoping to catch five of at the Classic. What Aaron Martens needed one more of to WIN the Classic! What Kevin VanDam caught more of than anyone else at the Classic. Another name for a "keeper". What tournament fishermen hope to cull, if they can just catch two more. Sometimes the best fish of the day. Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted September 14, 2005 Super User Posted September 14, 2005 It's the Dark Side. He is the Evil Force that makes fishermen buy equipment they didn't know they needed. He has no conscience. He makes you buy things you already have. He makes you buy things when you don't have any money. He turns wants into needs. He is the force that bonds Megabass, G. Loomis, Shimano, Ranger, Yamaha, Lucky Craft and all the other high priced equipment manufactures together. The Bait Monkey is Raul. Quote
Minuteman Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 The Bait Monkey that lives in my closet: " I need BAIT" Quote
2_Poppa Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 The Bait Monkey has at his disposal baits, that all anglers desire and most can only dream of... Don't believe? Check out Rauls Avatar... The BM lives. Quote
bassackwards Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 take your time to decide before clicking. http://bassresource.com/cgi-bin/bass_fish/YaBB.pl?board=gen_bass;action=display;num=1126728166 once you have entered, you'll never go back---- naw, that thing won't let you LEAVE! Quote
sinker48 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 The hardest abbreviations to figure out are for locations. Quite often it is not known what state or region you are located in don't need to know addresses just a reference to what general area. Good Luck! Sinker 48 Quote
chevy Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Thanks, that about clears it up roadwarrior. Quote
kbj3579 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I know I'm off topic, but you all brought up the bait monkey, well I just had a visit from his older brother the "boat monkey". He is by far meaner and nastier!!! I had to make him leave so I gave in and am buying a 187cx Champion tomorrow. He showed up after I burned another cylinder in my other boat for the second time. I beat him away the first time, but he showed up again this time with a vengance. He won, I lost this fight. Oh well, you can't win them all. By the way he promised me if I bought this boat, he would keep his younger brother away for awhile. I hope he keeps his word. Quote
abelfisher Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 By the way he promised me if I bought this boat, he would keep his younger brother away for awhile. I hope he keeps his word. He LIED! Those critters multiply like rabbits! You will see more around now that you are buying that boat. More things needed for that new boat! ;D Quote
