Bass Fishing

A-E    F-J  K-O  P-T  U-Z

Pegging-Breaking off the tip of a wooden toothpick into the head of a bullet weight. This makes the sinker immobile when using a Texas rig.

Pitch-A gentle underhand or side-arm presentation involving a short cast to nearby shoreline targets.

Popper-A surface lure with a prominent cupped mouth to create a "popping" sound when retrieved.

Rippin'-Using short rythmic rod twitches to keep a floating-diving plastic or wood minnow under the surface.

Run'n gun-A rapid fire series of casts made quickly to cover expanses of shoreline.

Shakin'-Short repeated rod twitches that make the plastic worm "shake" as it is retrieved along the bottom.

Stick-ups-Decayed brush that is exposed somewhat out of water.

Stop'n Go-A specific retrieve where the angler intentionally stops, pausing to allow the lure to rest motionless.

Texas Rig-Most common way to use a plastic worm. Comprised of a bullet weight, worm hook, and a plastic worm. The hook is embedded into the worm to make the lure virtually weedless.
