plunkers

Unskilled string players

Plunkers are things or people that plunk—making a hollow, twanging sound like a string being struck.

The term often describes amateur or casual musicians, especially those who plunk away at a guitar or banjo without much skill: The bar was full of weekend plunkers strumming the same three chords.

In fishing, plunkers are anglers who cast from shore and wait, or the heavy sinkers they use.
