As a new Bass Fisherman, when I would go out the rest of the guys like for lunch and they would start using terms I had never heard, I thought to myself, “OK, I have to find out what that means.” I figured the Internet would be a god source for that information. And I was right. I discovered a website called FishingTipsAndTecniques.com. Going further in their website I found not only a page of Bass Fishing Terms but also a page of General Fishing terms. I’m going to share a few of them with you but you can see the entire list at http://www.fishingtipsandtechniques.com/bass-fishing/bass-terms.php. Here are the terms I needed help with:

• Comeback Lure – A lure selected to throw when bass misses the primary lure being used.
• Finesse Fishing – A technique that implies a slow presentation and requiring the angler to feel a fish to set the hook. This technique targets bass that have become lethargic from a cold front.
• Hawg (or Hog) - Slang for a large bass.
• Jig-And-Frog – Simply a bass style jig dressed up with a plastic or pork-rind frog. Jig-And-Pig – Term used to describe a bass fishing jig with a plastic body or pork rind attached.
• Wacky Rig – Method of rigging a plastic worm through the middle of the bait without any sinker attached to the line.
• Walking The Dog– A technique used when retrieving a lure such as the Heddon Spook that causes the lure to be retrieved in a zig-zag pattern.
• Weedguard – A mechanical device typically consisting a single piece of spring wire that covers the open gap of a hook to make it weedless.
• Weedless – A description of a lure designed to be fished in heavy cover with a minimum amount of snagging. Various strategies are often employed to make a lure weedless.
