I saw this terminology in 2006 BPS catalog and was like what. Never heard of it before. So reading on its just like what I would consider a no weight texas rig. Any of you guys ever heard of it?

PLINK

v. v. tr. To cause to make a soft, sharp, metallic sound; clink.

v. intr.  To shoot causually at random targets.

I think they made it up so you would buy more baits! lol

Seriously though I'm pretty sure I've heard skipping weightless worms called plinking.

I was just pointed out that there is a small weight in the tail of the worm.  I missed that.

That sounds interesting.

Putting a weight in the tail of, say a Trick Worm, instead of using a traditional sliding bullet weight on the front.... I might try it. How bad could it be?

Small finish nails are the norm for adding weight to wacky and finese worms.

There is an article in the last issue of bassin' about plinking. I think it is like a flipping or pitching technique used with weightless plastics.

I saw that in the Catalog too, it reminded me of my childhood walking through the woods with my .22 rifle.

It's a free country (well almost) so they can call anything anything.  But to me plinking is, and always be walking through the woods like minuteman said and shooting at odd targets.  I spent countless hours of blissful plinking in my younger days.  

Mike Iaconelli is coining a new phrase called "plunking"  It means dropping a heavy jig or weighted plastic through dense weed cover to get at the bass underneath.  I'm trying to think if there was already a term for that common type of fishing technique, but don't think so, so I guess he deserves credit for it.  The closest name I can recall is "heavy cover flipping"  We do it alot down here in Florida.

Isn't that a game on "The price is right"?   ;D

ive heard of the finish nail trick just didnt know it was called plinking

Isn't that a game on "The price is right"? ;D

Hee Hee... lol

Hey maybe we all can come up with a term for a technique we didn't invent and market it. I got one  "Flukin" - Sight fishing with a weightless fluke.

We call it punching grass.

I think that's PLINKO, but I believe that's about the same as plinking...sounds about right, anyways.

I AGREE WITH AVID, I ALWAYS REFERRED TO SHOOTING AT TARGETS IN THE WOODS AS PLINKING.

Plinko I thinko
