Tom,
I appreciate your concern over naming your babies. This argument goes better with beer. It is a Clouser. Bob Clouser's deep minnow got put through the analysis machine years ago and was given the dirty name "jig fly." The dust never settled. There's an old guard out there that condemns any fly adulterated by a few wraps of lead or lead substitute. Nymphs to them are an abomination. Split shot is a creation of the devil.
For a less extreme view, consider this. An old fishing catalog would offer dry flies, wet flies, streamers, nymphs, bass bugs, poppers, spoons, spinners, pork rind, and lures. (I may have missed some like foam creations or offering with a lot of epoxy or CCG modeling.) All to be presented with a fly rod. If we stick with this breakdown, the argument goes away; but the beer remains.
