OK - I PROMISE, just this one last site raffle for a while. Courtesy of the guys and guys over at Aquaskinz, we have a NEW set of prizes for supporting S-B in a raffle. Kadir and Alberto donated for this raffle:

The LARGE and SMALL Belt Pouches (gotta get ME some):

All the product details are on their site: http://www.aquaskinz.com/
I'll need to figure up how much all this goes for but it must be about $300 for all of it.


Should we do it as a raffle and everyone can take some chances? Or as an auction? I plan to throw in 4 or 5 custom plugs that have been donated to me & the site just to sweeten the pot (and if anyone else wants to donate a plug :hihi: ) . Think I'll bring the bags to Plug Nite at MSBA this Weds....


:btu: Big Thanks to the guys over at Aquaskinz for the Gear!!!

disclaimer - plugs in pictures were PROMOTIONAL pictures from their site - THOSE PLUGS are not coming with the bags :laughs:

I would think that a raffle is better for everyone . just my .02 cents. ;)

John,

I suggest that you do a raffle....Auctions shut out too many

looks like you could have seven prizes

raffle, like patrick said 7 prizes. I'll donate a plug tomorrow night for the bag also.

Ya - raffle is the way. :btu:

Raffle, baby! :kewl:

JohnR....I kick in two customs....for all the bandwithe that I used up!:D

when will the raffle be going off? just starting a new batch of needles and i'll be glad to donate when their done.

raffle. i'll throw in a mister-wee plug from King Cove. :kewl:

Raffle sounds like the way to go -

So where do I buy the winning tickets? :tooth:

Yep, raffle, got a couple plugs in primer, when there done, I'll send them your way, to stuff in the bags.

I think a raffle lets everyone in on it.

I don't think there are seven prizes. I think some of the stuff goes together like the belts and the eel bag or something like tahta. If so , they should go togetehr as a prize. I may be wrong.

Make it a raffle please, and make the tread sticky :) so we can find it...

:smash: :rolleyes:

I made it sticky buit there are so many sticky thredas now it might be better to just leave it normal and keep bumping it up to the top????

Maybe two prizes?

Big Bag, little pouch, clips - the consumate plugger?

Little Bag, Eel bag, Big Pouch, D-Ring - the mobile Eeeler?

First winner has choice of sets?

I'd be happy to throw in a homemade plug as well. I'm just a beginning plug builder so there not the nicest plugs around, but if it sweetens the pot at all... I've got my first batch of 12 and another batch of 10 that were just sealed. I'll post pics of the latest batch when they're done. John, you can take your pick of any one you want.

well, i'd say its a wrap. raffle hands down!

Raffle

2 or 3 "sets" of prizes as JohnR determines.

I got the winning ticket (oh that's from the last raffle I didn't win)

You should at least throw the 3rd place guy a bone. maybe a plug or 2.

why waste all the time of the members . just send one set to chrisL and one to laneC

i like the idea of a raffle. see ya at plug night

OK then - maybe a 3rd prize of a couple three plugs.... :D

What should we charge for the tickets? Should I bring some to the MSBA meeting?

$2.00 each, 6 for ten

Don't think you should bring them to the meeting, we do have our Charity Raffle going on. Just my $.02

Hey JohnR I noticed you changed your signature.Some people say rat tastes just like chicken.I ain't one of 'em but they do say that.:D

John's been hangin' around Clammer tooooooo looooong

them BLOOOOOOO_*&)*(^^%%^$#$#%(^(*&^(^%fish are gettin' to them.

$20 per ticket. i hate getting an "arms length" for the same price and then trying to find my ticket. this way it's a fair, but worthy price and you can buy as many as you want.

nice donation kadir, alberto, and the rest.

OK Bob - I will bring them tomorrow in case anyone wants to see them but no ticket sales... A couple of the Pms mentioned same raffle prices as before but I want to simplify.

2 for 10, 6 for 20 - keep the overall ticket count down :smash: :D

Thanks!

John

I like the idea of a raffle with 2 sets of prizes and a few plugs for 3rd..6 for $20 is a bargain compared to all the stuff you can win..

my moneys in //////////:rolleyes:

Put me down for $20 - I'm still struggling to see if I can make Plug Nite - it's looking dubious at this point :( though -

Count me in for $20 sent Paypal.

Where is the Paypal link? I can't find it?

I hope I did it right, John. I'm in for $20.

When are you guys going to draw this???

yeah when can I expect a package in the mail ? I need to send in my 20

John:
Do a raffle but limit the number of raffle tickets. make the cost of the ticket like $20 with a limit of a 100 ticket or 200 ticket. Just my thought.

I am in. If I did the paypal thing right(20$)

i'm in for $40. thanks

Just confirmed $20 via PayPal

Im in on raffle....SOrry I will not be able to attend cause I am in School all week at work...ALso, have to work this weekend...But, rest assured Iffin I win I will pay all shipping costs...I hope to be able to meet ya all real soon. I would love to come up to New England and get some plug lessons!

I have been fishing for Stripers for 30 years , mostly bait fishing in the Chesapeake bay, Assateague Island, and Wallops Island, VA. To be quite honest , I have very little experience fishin plugs for em. I am in only he past 2 years started using plugs at Ocean city , MD. I have hooked a couple shorts but never anything above 28 using plugs.

Thanks,
Forrest

Thanks!!

Here you are Sir, 2 more up for grabs. Both made in the shadow of Brads plugs weighting at 4.5oz. They will be at Mikes tomorrow.

Hi John, Just sent $20.00 via paypal. I know it's late for raffle tickets so just put it in as a general donation. Tim
Ps. Can't make Mass leg due to family and work obligations. Perhaps the Rhody leg in October. Also my"project boat" is taking up most of my free time, but it's coming along well. Replacing the entire floor plus one stringer. I'll post pics in the boating forum when finished. Should be ready for fiberglassed next weekend (weather permitting) and hopefully in the water by Columbus Day:spin: :spin:
