Sorry, I confused everyone. :smash: I meant any style lipless but we can go with "any style you choose" if that works for everyone?

What a trouble maker. :rotf2::rotf2::rotf2:

Its all good.....no worries

Lipless swimmer is fine with me I've been wanting to try one for a while, it'll be my first time but thanks to ProfM I'm well on my way. Though I'm sure I may have some questions along the way.

I got the bodies done, weighted and sanded, Just need to drill, seal and make perty now. :biglaugh:

On a side note: John Habs JR. was a graphic design intern with me for about a year and he gave me some of the wood his dad had left behind in the shop. I thought that an SB swap was the perfect way to utilize this nice mahogany.

Darters about 6 inches and will weigh 3.5 to 4+oz. Made for heavy current.

From my earlier post: "Last year we did 2 plugs at the last minute and had the auction for Bill and Jules. Maybe do the same this year for a worthy cause!"

What do you think guys?

Looks like a very worthy cause to me!

Does everyone have a "special" plug they can put up for the auction now??

I'll start the thread on the main page: "Plugswap 13 MacoJoe Benefit Auction"
Post your plug when you are ready, ship to the winner of auction after whoever is collecting the funds receives it.

Use the above mentioned thread to post your plug!!

Lou should it be the same thread are you going to manage the upside of the pics/ builders and current bids?

Just post your plug in the same thread with a description and picture. It worked good last year when we did the same thing. I will manage the auctions.

This is how we did last years swap/ auction: http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...g-auction.html

I'm making darters. Anyone have a color preference or should I just go nuts?

Since when did you ever ask permission to do that before

Plug swap 2013 test video - YouTube

Ready for primer.

Did we pick a date at the end of Jan yet???

you did a great job.

Thanks and also thanks for your help!

Whenever, 31st is good, we can always add a week or two if anyone is behind.

I stopped working for PE at the end of Dec so I had some free time to make a small batch of Blondterror Juniors... 3 of these are for the January Swop (The Greek , Piemma, and a Fundraiser plug) one for me. These are based on the BM Junior (Lip, hook position, and body shape) I tried 3 woods (White cedar, Red Cedar, and pine) I think the white cedar will be the best but they all are within 1/8 oz after i added a little more belly lead to the red cedar.

They weigh 2 oz prior to clear coating and rigging with 3/0 belly and 5/0 dressed siwash
