OK,

Sign up for the Plug Swap HERE....

Here's how it works,

The group will be limited to TEN people, so first come, first served.
No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service. :)

You will need to make all plugs identical, or as close as possible.

I will take care of all the shipping and receiving, although you will have to supply a five spot when you send in your plugs in order to cover shipping them back to you.

The first one is Wood for Wood.

The deadline for all plugs to be turned in will be DECEMBER 8th. Earlier is better. :)

Lets try to get some different things in the swap. I know that soem are limited to tools and the like, but if you can make something different it would be appreciated. We all love needles, but why make ten to get ten?

So jump on the wagon and sign up already!

Count me in! I'll make Parrot Colored Poppers then.

Is there a deadline for joining this? So I know how many to make.

I'm in.
I am just starting to make plugs so needles would be easiest for me but if there are to many making needles already then I guess I could make some reverse Dannys. What color?

No Needles!!!???Last swap I was in I got back about 13 poppers,3 jigs,2 swimmers and a boat.

A boat??? wow

Ok Ken, I can make some needles. But what are you making???

Yeah, and the boat had flames!

I'm sure BM will make needles....

Yeah a yellow speed boat.Maybe I'll make a surfster type lure.Maybe pencil poppers.That's a good spring time plug.

Limited to ten people ....so I don't count cuz I'm a crab right?? :)

Blue, you in yes or no? We like crabs, at least the ones that don't itch :)

I would like to sign up! I am very limited in what i can make with a rasp file and electric drill....poppers. Dont know what colors but they dont look to bad, they are about 5 1/2 by 1 1/2 and wieght about 2 ounces. I like that boat from the last swap but havent used it. 10x10, that needle is nice and casts great!

OK, I'm in but you guys are getting me in a lot of trouble. Mrs. Pogie is reaching critical mass waiting for the fish to disappear so I can finish remodeling her reading room. Now I gotta slip a bunch of plugs in somewhere along the line. I'll make 3 oz. polaris style poppers in the pogie or bunker pattern if that's ok. I'll bring them with me to Slip's plug party on Dec. 8th. ...mrpogie

Im in.. so what i make 10 plugs and ret 10 plugs? i want 11 cuz im a legind in my own mind.....

BM:

ROFLMAO!!! I don't know ya, but I can picture you sittin' at the keyboard smokin' a BIGGGG BLUNT!!!!!! LMAO :D

If ya don't mind, I'd like to jump in on this too.

PS. Can I be on the plug building getogether waiting list, in case, someone can't make it? I got a portable mini lathe I could bring to get a couple folks working at the same time:)

This is going GREAT. We have 8 people so far, two more and we are complete.

Here's how we are looking:

Tatoo - Darter ( uhh! )
Jenty - Parrot Popper
SlipKnot - ??
10X10 - Pencil Popper??
Breezy Kid - Popper
Mr. Pogie - Polaris Popper / Pogie Color
BM - ??
Krispy - ??



C'mon guys whatcha going to make?

Mr. Pogie, any chance of making a bottle instead? Pretty please with sugar on top? :)

I thought 10x10 was making Surfsters

BM is making poppers

I will make needles


Krispy, I can clear off another bench. Looks like we may have 3 lathes then with mine, yours and Fishpart said he may bring one. :)

Thanks, Slipknot:D

I guess I'll make some 6" Stubby needles for the swap. Somethin' different. Any color preferences?

I would like to join in, but we should still have plenty of fish here in NJ then and I'll still be fishing.

Charlie

Yeah, Like there is fish in New Jersey. :)

My brother wants to get in on it too. He was the big guy with me last week. Is that ok? He wants to makes his black and purple needle fish. Let me know.

Get your plugs to Tattoo by Dec. 8th. along with the 5 bucks for shipping.

:)

I'm not sure Charlie is in. Better make sure, if he's not, let me know cause my brother really wants to get in.

That's fine Jenty, I took his post as wanting to be in. If not , then fine with your brother. :) Who is he?

Here's an unfinished body.What color?http://www.pixhost.com/pixp/poltroon/mvc-891s.jpg

..Slip, I don't want to be flat tire....but I probably won't have any plugs to contribute....I'd still love to attend...and be a fly on the wall taking notes...I'm gonna try and make it over to Tattoo's soon to get a peek at the manufacturing of these fish foolers...

..but if you feel the need to replace me...just let me know...and I'll understand...

..if theres somethin you'd like me to bring ......just holla

Tattoo, I already cut the blanks for the poppers and they're shorter. Let's do another one after the holidays and I'll do bottles. They require more time and I'm kinda short on that right now. That's why I opted for the poppers. ...mrpogie

Ok Bloo, we will catch you on the next go around of the plug swap. I believe the get toghether is full as well, but I'll check with SlipKnot to see if he has rom for one more guy.

Jenty Your brother is in. How can he not be, he's a BIG boy! He should get that sweling in his arms looked at. :)

The run down again....

OK, so it looks like we have 9 participants since Charlie isn't in on this one. Since we only need to send Tattoo 8 plugs, I propose that we actually send in 9. One extra each for John R as a gesture of appreciation.

I made needles ; green,gold, and black back. about 2- 3/4 oz.

Jenty, you and your bro are still in on this right? I haven't heard from you in a while.

Breezy, you can make any color you want to.

Well thanks Slip!!! I LIKE that ;)

Seriously, I'm just happy if you guys use and like the site, if you want to send any extra plugs my way, well, I certainly wouldn't refuse anything http://128.241.205.103/vbulletin/images/smilies/jump1.gif http://128.241.205.103/vbulletin/images/smilies/jump3.gif http://128.241.205.103/vbulletin/images/smilies/jump1.gif http://128.241.205.103/vbulletin/images/smilies/jump3.gif http://128.241.205.103/vbulletin/images/smilies/jump1.gif http://128.241.205.103/vbulletin/images/smilies/jump3.gif

I don't think I'll be getting a lathe this winter to start turning my own plugs (unless TheBetterHalf get's a killer salary :cool: )

I second we send one each to the Boss!

Yup; we're still in. Haven't been around much lately, still tryin' for the elusive 50#! :D

Also; I third the one extra for the Boss! Thanks John!!!

Well, if you insist :D ;)

Does everyone know to send the plugs minus the hooks?

I'm glad you said that, I didn't even think about it. I was going to start tying tails tonight. Thanks Slip, you saved me a couple of nights work. ...mrpogie

Im Rejecting My plugs Due to QC controll. I will try to get them done asap, I think Im feeling the new baby effects:confused:

I didn't know myself, until I showed them to Tattoo the other day and he said take those hooks off, they get shipped hookless.



Tattoo mentioned maybe giving a short extension for the swap so maybe that would be a good idea for some. I am done. Looking forward to this.

I TURNED A NEW BATCH. NOW ITS ON TO DRILL HOLE HELL......:(

Are we doing a short extension now? If so fine by me, I'll have more time to hunt this weekend. If not ok too. :) Just let me know? :D

now its back to the first batch, I dont have time so I will re do them...........

let's put it off for while , Tattoo will set date

great being a home owner huh? :)

How long are you gonna put it off for, just so I know if I should keep working on them or start making other plugs? A couple weeks? January?

Might not be a bad idea to move until after the holidays. Ease the pressure on you guys a little...

BM - good luck to you... Fun when everything craps out at once, isn't it :rolleyes: :eek:
