Anyonne up for a plugswap???

I plan on going Loco in my woodshop the end of march.... I've never been part of a plugswap, but I'm really starting to feel comfortable with the quality of my plugs and after some swim tests I've got some dannies that swim great...

sooo.....anyone???

If we keep it small I may be able to make some squiddies... but not sure, been busy, but 5 is probably do able.... maybe a few more... keep me informed...

How many ppl you lookin to have in this? What are you looking for as a deadline. I'm ReEEEEEaaaal Slow. :(

If we're talking 5 people or so and maybe the end of march.. I can do it, like Timber I'm slow..
Maybe a SO.Co swap Eben? we can meet and swap at da 'mist
If we did 5 people, we could turn 6 and donate one set for auction for JR?

that sounds fine to me... end of march it is... but lets not limit it to so-county... i mean I think we are the only ones down here that do this.....

So..... anyone else????

Bump
Guess you me and TT wanna play....
anyone else...

I'll participate if it doesn't exceed 5 people.

Ok...
So far we have:

Eben
RIROCKHOUND
Throwing Timber?
BassAssasin
One more would be 5; this would mean make 6 plugs, donate one set for auction or something to JohnR to keep the site going.... Anyone else?


Bryan

wouldn't that mean 5? Unless you want to make one fer yerself too. Or did you mean 2 plugs each for JR?

I'm thinking we might have 1 more person? My math isnt that bad, but 4 +1 for john would be fine too...
I've got enough of my junk :D need other peoples...

RI,

Not trying to be a smart a$$ or anything but if we have a total of 5 guys then I will make plugs for 4 of them since I would be the 5th person I am not making one for myself. Plus one for John would be 5 :D

Yeah, your right, my brain must be elsewhere... You're right.. This was Eben's Idea, but a deadline of end of march works for me...
Bryan

Works for me.

Sounds good to me :happy:
B-A.....glad to hear you want to get in on this...:D um... you gonna make some... um..... knuckleheads..:rolleyes: Cause if you were.. I'd, um.... feel pretty happy:D

no shame:rolleyes:

Eben,
Can't promise any knuckleheads:( I got alot going on this month, my mother is having surgery and the bathroom is getting renovated. That is why I was only going to make the commitment if it was 5 people or less. I will however have your address so I might be inclined to send one when I make another batch. They are very time consuming. Lots of steps and measurements and they are most likely no better at catching fish than any other popper, they just look :cool: I will do my best to make something nice ;)

no problemo :D

My moma always told me....."if you dont ask for something you might never get it":D

Eben, I saw that glass squid you know:cool: ;) :D

:laughs: I actually have too much work to make :smash: but..... when I get the time I'll let you know:D

Let me know what the final count is and what the deadline is.

:D

how does a deadline for april 15th sound?

we need one more person.....

anyone???

That deadline works for me; I'll likely be done turning for the season end of march so I hope to finish mine before then; But I dont really fish till May 1 so no rush on the dead lines... hope people like Calamari..:D :D :D :D
Anyone else?
If not 4 is fine with me...

Chris get in on this! :)

Or we could always just take 'em outta yer bag?:laughs:

Is this still a go?

Yep, absolutely!

I have some flaptail spooks waiting to be clear coated as we speak

Yer way ahead of me:blush:

Its alright... at least you're thinking about it:D

Still on for 15 April right?
Bryan

yesserrie:D

bump...

I'm just about done-

how about everyone else???:rolleyes:

If it stays warm I'm priming em tonight... otherwise this weekend, should be close, but I should be done in time...
Bryan

I just finished gutting, wiring and installing the tub and drain assembly in my bathroom. It's all up to the contractor from now on, phewww! I should be able to get them done on time. I will turn blanks tonight.

throwing timber??? do you need more time? send me a pm-

throwing timber??? do you need more time? send me a pm-

earlier in the thread there was discussion of only needing to make 5 plugs, but we only need to do 4- if you dont want to do one for yourself-

Are we just going to mail directly to each participant or mail all the plugs to one guy then distribute from there. The former seems to be the simplest since there are very few participants IMHO.

Yup, I should be done in time for the deadline. :D

Is the 15th the shipping deadline or are they supposed to be at their destination by then? I need addresses.

BA feel free to mail the(cough) knucleheads.. (ahem) I mean swap plugs to me.. I see throwing timber all teh time and RI Rockhound lives close to me... I can collect the plugs from them and then mail them out to you...

sound good?? I'll pm you my adress.

Eben,

Still stuck on those knuckleheads eh? :D
I'll mail them to you, that makes it easier. Thanks.

15th's gonna be close, but I'll have em done (dry and ready) by Sat. AM... either drop them to eben or in the mail.... had some technical difficulties (nice weather, had to make $$$, no excuse... this weekend) will paint tuesday or wed... then after dry epoxy em thursday or friday.....

Bassassasin- great ! mail me the nuckleheads:D

I guess I will be the shipping person... so when HOund and Timber are done we shall meet at a watering hole and swap plugs and lies then I'll mail BA's plugs down to him.

I cant wait to see these:D

Can't wait to see what ? :jester: :D

I'm running a little behind schedule:(

O.k. for each week Throwing Timber is late, he will owe each of us one plug on top of the swap plugs...

sound good guys?

:tooth:

I haven't clear coated yet:o Have had to make several overnight trips to my mother's house as she had surgery thursday. Will get them out this week. Sorry guys. Everything happens at once it seems. BA

Not a problem:D: we wont be throwing wood up here for at least a few more weeks

And presumably the top water action will be even later :D

:D Just gotta clear and they be down to the Eberino man himself.

O.K. so far I have all the plugs here except for Bass Assasin. I saw Throwing Timber yesterday and He gave me his batch.... Very sweet looking pieces of wood I might add:)

Sorry, been crazy around here. They should be there by wednesday.

:eek: :eek:
Your not taunting us with those knuckleheads are you!!!

:rotf2: :rotfl:

:laughs:

Eben, those plugs get there yet?

Never mind, just got yer PM.

:happy: :happy: :happy:

You are a true craftsman Bassassasin :kewl: I'm gonna trash that plug!

I was waiting for rockhound to get down here and pick up his plugs... now that he's got 'em i'll throw up some shots tonight :D

:D :happy: Swim them slow across the top at night with an occasional *pop* Kinda made them to sit right on top and create a nice v wake to disturb the surface, swim, swim, pop, swim, swim, pop. Let me know if they work out for you guys:D And as always any suggestions are greatly appreciated, for the moment I think maybe the next batch will need a bit more lead in the arse. Or same amount of lead and just make them less beefy:D

Vic... it looks great... I would suggest a small belly weight and a touch more lead in the ass... then it would be a canal killer.... Gonna slay when the wash is up and I need a big profile...
