In another thread Vodkaman made an interesting post that I thought might be of importance to all of our members, especially the new ones. He stated in part: "Personally, when I joined, I was overwhelmed by the expertise and knowledge of the members. Recognising how basic my questions were that I wanted to ask, I searched rather than asking. I think in hind sight, I should have asked, as searching for the answers was difficult because I did not know the terminology, or special words to search for."

I feel as though if we all posted a few "buzz words", their meaning, and the relationship with which type of baits that it could go a long way in reducing some of the repetative questions that are being asked. I mean, if you don't know what to look for, how do you perform an effective search?

For example:
Hard Baits
Bib or Lip - A piece of shaped "plastic" or metal that is attached to the front or rear of a lure that imparts the action to that lure.
Clearcoat - A final finish that protects the paint on a lure.
D2T - Devcon 2-Ton - An epoxy used as a clearcoat.

Soft Baits
POP - Plaster of Paris

I hope that you get the idea. Please feel free to post your own.
