Nicknames 2024
The American reply :
I recently read a post about nicknames given to big bass, and it was pretty funny, but how about nicknames for certain lures. For example, I have a 1/2 oz Rat-L-Trap in chrome with the blue top that I call 'Ol Blue. I was wondering if I'm the only person crazy enough to name my lures!
kylek reply :
I have a Bill Dance fat free shad in a crawdad color that I have had around for a long time. I have been unable to find the exact same one. When I bought it, it was originally $6.50. It is always a fish producer for me and my father in law.
So anytime one of wants to use it we ask for $6.50. Kind of a stupid name.. but both of us know exactly what lure we are talking about!!

shimmy reply :
ha, this is funny. I thought i was the only one. I had several names for my swimbaits: Mrs's Huddleston, MaryweatherFeatherbottoms, and Mr. Gigglesworth (caught several good ones with him before i broke him off on rocks on a cast). Had a jig named Jeffrey that caught several 6 pound bass before being stolen by a northern pike.
outdoorsman110 reply :
I talk to my lures like Tom Hanks talks to Wilson the volleyball in the movie Castaway. I woulda been like, " JEFFREY NOOOOO!!!! ". Hahaha.On 4/25/2012 at 10:13 AM, shimmy said:ha, this is funny.

esoxangler reply :
I am not sure why, but my fishing buddy thinks I only have one type of lure in my tackle box, called the badboy. "I think I will tie on this badboy". "Wait until they see this badboy in action". "This badboy should catch something".
Mumpy reply :
Loving this thread, I'll soon have a tacklebox full of named lures because of it!

Nitrofreak reply :
I have a spinner bait my friend calls "Bullwinkle"...I always pull a big fish out of my a** with that one he says.
Not really but whenever we fish against each other or for fun, it just seems to always work out that way.

RyneB reply :
my best friend has a Top Prop that he uses up north that flat out catches fish. He calls it "the prop." I have a Brovarney Baits swim jig in crappie color. I use a white fat albert grub trailer and it has caught me 438 bass in the 5 years iv had it. I make my own jigs and fish them all the time, but when the going gets tough, i tie it on.It is missing a few skirt strands and the paint on the head has chipped in several places. It is still going strong, over the years i have come up with these names for her.
- the answer (i was a big allen iverson fan)
- old faithful
- THE ONE
- skunk buster
- whitey
- IT (id always say, im putting IT on)

A few years back when fishing with a buddy I was using a tube and started catching them pretty good. We got to joking around and I told him I was using a new invention of mine. From that point forward we now refer to tubes as "my invention".

My bullfrog zara puppy is called ol' trusty, lol

it was a swimbait i cant remember what though my nephew came up with calling them girls names cuz he likes to get my wife riled up when we come back cuz he'll twist it to sound like hes talking about a person "hey you gonna use jenna when we go out" and shed get all pissy and freak out and he would just laugh. It comes from them 2 being raised together my wife's sisters are almost 20 years older then her so her and her nephew are only a few years apart
mikeeasttn reply :
Have a Bill Norman Deep Little N and call it "killer".
loodkop reply :
The perch Rapala shadrap 5 has earned a honouable name under artificial lure anglers in South Africa. It is called the "springbokkie" (springbuck) after our national rugby team. In a country where rugby is almost a religion that is high praise indeed. Like the rugby team the Rapala also wears a green and gold jersey.
Hot n Tot reply :
When my brother-in-law Larry was visiting was visiting us when we lived on a lake, we used floating Rapalas alot. After we went to the bait store and he purchased some Long A's we started hammering them with it. My wife named it the "Larry Lure", and so we still call the long A by that name more than 15 years later.

webertime reply :
Fat Ika's = Bon Bons
Senkos = effing Senko (for a buddy that I am 90% sure only owns senkos and 3/0 Gammy hooks)
Champlain Special = Lucky Craft Pointer in the pale sexy shad color they do. You cannot find a local's boat without this bait in it.
00 mod reply :
I have a crankbait that I call - "the one". It is one of those lures, you would jump in and go get if you couldn't get un hung.
Jeff
flippin and pitchin reply :
I have a nickname for every lure in my boat when someone else is with me. It's "thats-my-last-one " lure.
wisconsin heat reply :
I have a strike king series 4s called the bulldozer cuz i clipped the middle hook off both trebles
I was teaching my cousins from arizona who dont fish hot to catch bass and he caught one on " that bad little worm" which was an oxblood red berkley hand pour worm
Lastly my brother calls all stick baits a "yamanomosenkominnow."
Hooligan reply :
We call lures by different names so that others fishing tournaments have no idea what we're talking about. It's funny, you'll hear them at Bass Pro or something looking for a wang-doodle, and they have zero idea what it actually is. Oh, and the other thing pretty much all of my baits are named- Jigs; as in:
"What'd you get em on?"
"Jigs." Doesn't matter if it's a 6XD, the answer is ALWAYS "Jigs."
A-Rob reply :
haha not me
I dont talk enough I guess to bother
Sometimes I'm swearing when I lose a lure and looking for a new one in the box haha

I know some guys like that. its OK until they start throwing my medium diving "poppers" over 2 foot weedy flats on 6lb test spinning tackle. Needless to say, they can't afford anything more than a WalMart special and a bobber. They may think they are smart, but that is a one and only time type of deal. If you are that dumb keep your feet on the bank, you don't deserve a boat ride. Sorry for the rant, but I've taken idiots out once or twice thinking or hoping they knew a few things only to find out they were FOS. Not into wasting my time and lures.
