this will be my first year so im trying to get a idea of what to expect.

Don't get too excited about out of trunk specials, I've been to all and never seen that. It's a trade show of plug builders . If you want others plugs I suggest you bring trade bait .

I never look for somthin for nothin, too much work into building wooden plugs to expect a deal pulled from the trunk of a car, I'm certain to learn something, I do own a Shopsmith lathe, who knows I may give it a try someday.

Told my dad about it today. I plan on bringing him to see the quality of everybody's work (and show off his). I know he is looking forward to seeing BigFish again.

Hope you have a category for 90 year old plug builders. He is currently working on some flaptails (thanks for the great schematics on the flaptail thread). His Darters are killer as are his needles and stubby needles (see him and one of his plugs with one of my bass on the "own wood" thread).

Going to sign him up on Striped-Bass.com next time I visit him so he can follow the thread as well.

Looking forward to our first Plugfest!

Bill, I'd like to trade for a darter or more at the plugest. Looking forward to it

all plug builders are welcome

hardcore from shore 12-08-2010 11:59 PM

Looking forward to some trading with you as well. I am sure the other Bill (my dad) will be getting some additional plugs ready betwen now and then and I know he will want to talk plugs and learn more about making them.

ATT: SLIPKNOT///don't forget to invite the other suppliers of plug parts this year...one doesn't carry everything everyone needs.

Ryan560 12-14-2010 02:42 PM

Sweet! This will be my first year attending. Will any of the plug building supplies vendors be running a show discount???

Lower 12-19-2010 10:13 PM

They don't need an invitation and we don't send any! If they are a site sponsor they need to make such arrangements!:)

smac 12-23-2010 10:29 AM

Finally something to look forward to this winter:buds:

I'll bring the pulled pork again and twice as much trade bait:uhuh:

Johnny 01-02-2011 08:06 AM

Ryan- I'm not sure about discounted supplies, maybe some more seasoned Plugfest attendees will chime in, but Mike from M&D's had a pretty good selection of stuff last year. Maybe I'll see ya there!

Slipknot 02-13-2011 11:15 AM

I just spoke with the guy from the hall and we are all set for next weekend, they will have breakfast sandwiches and coffee for the morning, then switch over to burgers and dogs at lunch.
He will bring extra rectangular tables for the perimeter and the round for the middle.

Open up at 8:00

see you allthere

Jackbass 02-14-2011 11:16 AM

I am in Worcester, I will not be in attendance. I have a kid coming in May and she has had the spoon in the bitch pudding pretty heavy lately I am saving every available brownie point for fishing
