This class of lure is commonly known as "Jerk Bait". It was the first image posted in the response to the original poster. Cute! |
Like all forums, there are some folks who like to stir up conflict. They do that by posting threads that they know will provoke the majority of the readerships' buttons.
I was bored and popped open one such thread and was delighted to see how most of the commenters handled the person who was "trolling".
They went completely off-topic and started talking about fishing: Fishing lures, fish flies, creels, rods-and-reels...with many, many pictures.
Other folks chose a different animal to express their sentiments toward the original poster.
In my opinion, it was done with grace and elegance. A tip of the hat to the readership of 24hourcampfire.
That is a darter aka Montauk darter. Technically not a jerk bait in my understanding but arcane trivia is seldom important when talking about jerk baits. Unless you are a collector, then it makes all the diff.
