S-B Plug Swap
 

I am looking for a total of about ten people interested in doing a plug swap. I would also like to use this as an opportunity to help generate some income to help John keep the lights on for US. After we get a final count, we'll each make one plug more than the number of people who sign up. If ten people sign up I would ask each person to make 11 of the same plugs and send them to me minus hooks. I will collect all the plugs and send one of each plug to everyone who participates minus the plug you made. That will give two extra sets of plugs that I will get to John so he can use them in support of the site. I would like to get all the plugs by March 15th so if John chooses he will have a set to raffle at the MSBA show. We'll work out any other details as they develop.

So far we have:
Fishpart--Darters
THE Specialist(formerly know as Specialist)
BM
Slipknot

Im in :-}

Sure I'll give it a try. ep

So Ed we are gonna say this is closed with 10 people right?

Everyone makes 11 plugs, we should shoot for the end of Febuary, the MSBA show is probably gonna be in March.

what are people going to make, or should it be a suprise?

I want to Make the BM popper, I may have to clear coat instead of epoxy not sure, But will get on it......
alot of projects going on here:smash:

The Specialist (I like the new name) is right, we should close with 10 people with each person making 11 plugs. The end of February is good, that will give us a couple of weeks till MSBA to round up any stragglers.

Be nice to know what you are making if you don't want it to be a surprise. I'll PM my adress to all of you some time after the New Year.

ill be making the master-bait. i just had to say it. um, its a polaris type popper w/ a candle pin shape body and a head thats just different. it looks good.

Thanks Ed, the name change was John R's idea. I think I will make pikies or Beachmasters.

heres a pic of the maker-me and the similar plug- for a close up look at recent plug pics. the one for the swap doesnt have mack stripes and the one the swap will have 3d eyes instead of the holograms. hope you likey.

Christian, I likey.
You make a real nice lookin plug, dude. I look forward to havin a Christian plug in my bag :D

Bernzy

Christian,

With the skill of making such a beautiful plug and your name, you just became a "Fisher of Fishermen and Fish"

I am very impressed.

Don:) :D :p

with all of the crap going on in the world,and all the tempations,and distractions our youth must face,it does my heart good to see a young man so into this sport of ours.and making some fine looking plugs to boot! great job christian,you are to be commended.stay away from all the ugly stuff out there,and keep making those plugs,and banging fish.like bassmaster always says,plugs not drugs:) excellent work christain!

guzz

thanks for the compliments everybody.:rolleyes: i just finished my 11 bodys today, all flawless. looking good.

Nice job Christian. Another plug I look forward to carrying in my bag.

I just started my blanks last night. Hopefully I'll get them all from square to round tonight and get a few drilled. My goal is to get them drilled and turn a few at Slip's next Saturday.

"Turn a few at Slips" That's a good idea Ed. :)

Makin tail weighted 5" needles: black back, gold sides, silver belly. :-}

i'll be making darters in 3oz range, any color preference?

Christian
