Good Year 71 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I don't know... he did leave out 'bait term' FS = Fast Sink But, pretty impressive. Good job, kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campobassmaster Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) I don't know... he did leave out 'bait term' FS = Fast Sink But, pretty impressive. Good job, kid. lol I was going to but I was worried having 3 FS it would be confusing with Freestyle, for sale and fast sink. thought someone would bag on me for that... lol so add the... 'bait terms' FS= Fast sink MS= Moderate sink (only have seen that in savage gear baits) XSS= Xtra Slow Sink (seen a lot in 316 baits, hph, phoney frogs, and a lot of custom baits.) ^ don't think you will see xss in many big manufacturer baits ie spro, gancraft, jackall. you could add wake, shallow, medium, deep diver for baits like the mattlures meathead (meathead does not have a medium diver I believe) some baits are suspending, I don't know how to say that, maybe the same as XSS could add the whole 3 generations of punkers deal but that needs pics that I don't have. There is "OG" which was the first wooden model, then the "wooden" ones, which I thought just meant OG because they have abs injected plastic ones (G2) now, but I guess he has new wooden ones and old (OG). also, you hit the "unicorn" term pretty much spot on, but as you saw we have a thread for that. The most common bait referred to as a unicorn would be the Hinkle Trout, it may not be as rare as some other baits but its a long story as to why it is considered one, at least to me. Some other ones are mostly older hinkles, a lot of 316 baits, like the sport model freestyles. (I myself haven't seen a sport gill or herring), the glides, 1 ups, 2 ups, hate bait. but there are much much more.

SPEEDBEAD Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Pretty comprehensive list but you forgot one... ROF - Rate of Fall, pretty much the standard by which all sinking baits are measured. It's the measurement, in feet, a bait will fall in a 10 second time period.

gcopple Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Don't listen to those guys....... they are somewhat true but just being, well, themselves. the search bar is useful but not as useful as people think Exactly. If you search something like "best deeps 250 rod" it's going to come back as nothing because those terms are to frequent. Most searchs I do come back like that. The search really doesn't help newer members or newer swimbaiters who don't know exact specifics to add so the terms aren't to common.

BigSlant Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Litteraly typed "best deps 250 rod" in the search and this came up..if it's been talked about it usually comes up http://swimbaitunderground.com/forums/index.php?/topic/38918-favorite-rod-for-250s-and-hudds/?fromsearch=1 Edited February 24, 2017 by BigSlant basskickinrednick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHeINFamoUS Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) I'm a newb too but the search bar has been pretty good for me, so much so that I haven't had to ask any goofy questions Like any other search you may have to try a couple different phrases or terms to get the results you're looking for but that doesn't mean it isn't working. Then again....I used to have to do my library searches at a card catalog, then walk to a wall of books, then flip through each book that might have the info till I found the right one So a database search that takes a little effort to use isn't cause to declare it junk lol.
