plinking

[Siebert Outdoors]

I saw this terminology in 2006 BPS catalog and was like what. Never heard of it before. So reading on its just like what I would consider a no weight texas rig. Any of you guys ever heard of it?

I think they made it up so you would buy more baits! lol

Seriously though I'm pretty sure I've heard skipping weightless worms called plinking.

[Siebert Outdoors]

I was just pointed out that there is a small weight in the tail of the worm.  I missed that.

[GobbleDog]

That sounds interesting.

Putting a weight in the tail of, say a Trick Worm, instead of using a traditional sliding bullet weight on the front.... I might try it. How bad could it be?

[Matt Fly]

Small finish nails are the norm for adding weight to wacky and finese worms.

There is an article in the last issue of bassin' about plinking. I think it is like a flipping or pitching technique used with weightless plastics.

I saw that in the Catalog too, it reminded me of my childhood walking through the woods with my .22 rifle.

It's a free country (well almost) so they can call anything anything.  But to me plinking is, and always be walking through the woods like minuteman said and shooting at odd targets.  I spent countless hours of blissful plinking in my younger days.  

Mike Iaconelli is coining a new phrase called "plunking"  It means dropping a heavy jig or weighted plastic through dense weed cover to get at the bass underneath.  I'm trying to think if there was already a term for that common type of fishing technique, but don't think so, so I guess he deserves credit for it.  The closest name I can recall is "heavy cover flipping"  We do it alot down here in Florida.

Hey maybe we all can come up with a term for a technique we didn't invent and market it. I got one  "Flukin" - Sight fishing with a weightless fluke.

We call it punching grass.

I think that's PLINKO, but I believe that's about the same as plinking...sounds about right, anyways.

[FALCON]

I AGREE WITH AVID, I ALWAYS REFERRED TO SHOOTING AT TARGETS IN THE WOODS AS PLINKING.
