Thread: Slang Guide

Though not as bad as using a spinning rig incorrectly... Watching someone try to reel up a double bottom rig with two pounds of squid on it and the drag wide open cracks me up. My daughter actually walked over and showed a man this past summer how to tighten the drag down. He just kept reeling and reeling and reeling.

Being in the "PENALTY BOX" is is untangling a cluster fxxk or yours and someone else's line.

Another problem is when parents, fishing the shallows, allow their young boys to run to the octi (unsupervised) to get in on a “run” of bull reds. This can lead to the most dreaded slang term, the “carpet weave”. When there are multiple hook-ups and people still cast over you, under you, next to you. Everyone’s line gets fouled up.

if #r says Spanish then I was close.. Lol... If I we're guessing "in the pit" I'd have to agree with chillinfish on the Octi on a cobia or king run

Axe handles are something I sadly don't catch enough of anymore...

has as anyone mentioned "key chains" yet?
