Maybe lingking could clarify this

Lol - I know I'll never get everything on here but as long as I can try and put in most things which you are likely to hear then at least its a starter for the kids. I might leave some space at the end of each section so they can add their own as they hear about it. Will be a good thing for the forum also though as there's always threads started asking what slappy blacks and rotton bottoms are etc.

Keep it going lads.

Will update the first page list tomorrow as I have started categorising them as best I can.

not sure if this has been said:

red'un-- red cod(resident kelp bed cods)

frapp: birds nest -----overrun on multiplier

snood: hooklength

blegg: pouting/scotch haddock

 

[codseeker]

words such as "better than sitting in the house" obviously means a blank or a bad day

Just updated it again lads - keep them coming

Just read the updated list - funny how easy it is to miss the obvious but I notice "flapper" is missing from the tackle section.

Not to be confused with the young ladies you might see on the sea front at Whitley Bay but instead that simplest of rigs where the hooks aren't "clipped down"; instead left dangling and simply walloped out, as in "2 hook flapper" etc etc.....

Too right Gary. This is why it's great to have so many eyes otherwise things will get missed. Cheers

HAHA I bet you would get a shock if you bumped into one of them tomorrow. That is of course if they are still alive.

 

[Mogthemackem]

Don't think they'll have the same appeal for some reason lol

 

[Mogthemackem]

We all run out of ideas now guys?

 

[Mogthemackem]

List updated on first page guys - hopefully more to come with all your help
