Plugfest...what are you bringing to trade?
 

Never been to plugfest before, but will have some stuff with me to trade. I made about 150 plugs this winter...mostly metal lipped dannies, donny sr's, conrad sr's, 7"eelies, and some needles.

How much trading typically goes on here? Should I bring 5,10,20 plugs with me?

Should the plugs be hookless or fully rigged?

I'm looking to dupe as many unsuspecting chumps as I can...:laugha:

Back Beach, you said you had 20 plugs Id tak'em:uhuh: seems to be getting bigger ever year, 20 of your plugs will be good for 20 outher builders:wall: I like what you said-->( dupe as many unsuspecting chumps as I can) I got HO'ED last week on the internet posted a plug an now the guys wants it. will be at plug fest waiting for me an the PLUG.:rotf2: Im still new at DUPING,HO'ING:confused:BUT they get me all the time. watch out for the OLDTIMERS there SMOOOOTH. they start of with, WHAT'A GOT there SON:uhuh:you show them a plug an the next thing you know.all you hear is THANKS for the PLUG. :fury:you should have a great time:happy: see 'ya there :love:
GOOD LUCK GOOD :gh:

Trading occurs pretty much the first thing. I have a dozen, mostly surface lures to trade with this year.

Weather Forecasts

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY PLUGS!!!!!!!!

Haven't you heard of supply and demand?

You planning to pay people to try them or something?

Good luck duping the unsuspecting. ALL the plugbuilders I know are very good at not getting ho'd.

there is a learning curve Mike with this hoing stuff. I was never very good at hoing but I got hoed many times. If Bassmaster shows you can watch him. Comes with nutin and goes home with plugs. Bring them all and they will all be gone. I'd bring like 20. I'm not bring much plug wise. At this point mostly promised stuff. Still go lots of time before the fish show so I have not finished a lot, yet.

I'm gonna bring Yugio cards

That is pretty much my story.. although I tend to leave with far less than I arrive with.. I'll have alot less than usual for bartering and Ho'ing, as I havent had the time i usulay have... but I'll have enough to pique some interest...

I will bring a magic set!

Im bringing my good looks and even better looking wife. Thats always good for sweet talking a few plugs. :lol: If need be I will trade her for a good plug selection.......................lol. I like going just to see the amazing job you guys do. My favorite fishing get together of the year.

I learned ho'ing from the master. Mr. Striper. Unfortunately, I'm really bad at it, damn guilty conscience of mine. But, my 2 year old Cameron, has no qualms about it, he was was around Ernie for 10 minutes and managed to get a plug from Lower last year. I think he may be learning fast.

screw Ernie. I make him jump thru hoops to get one of mine. You really want to piss him off give Jim one in front of him and walk away.

First you're not bringing any, then you're not giving any away, then you're hoarding everything you make for the fish you won't catch this summer. What's next, a suicide bomb?

I didn't even see it coming...kids good!!!! I don't even want to know how many plugs Ernie has of mine...freaking guy.

I've been serenading outside Capesams window for a green an yella plug but the darn guy wasn't home.
I think he had some plastic surgery so we wouldn't recognize him at the plug fest.
I,ll have to sing at the fest.
Oh Plugie wugie, dudl,dudl Doo

This should do:uhuh:if I have any left after plugfest:eek: Im gone TOSS'EM in the DITCH:wid:
GOOD LUCK GOOD BUILDIN:gh:
