I think that this would be a great thing. Keep it seperate from the plug building forum and have it as a reference library so to say for the builders. All collectors are not nescesarily builders and vice a versa. I would sugeest moving the Some Plugs thread sticky over to a the new forum as there is a treasure trove of pictures and information in that thread. I would also like to see things like old rods reels, creels bobbers, pictures etc. posted on it. I do not want to see it become a horse trading center. If you have old gear that you want to sell or any item shows you are interested trying to buy, pm the individual posting the items to see if he/she is interested in selling. Keep it off of the thread. This could become an extremely valuable resource for budding or veteran collectors alike and those just wanting to learn a little bit about the history of thier sport and you all should know it has a wonderful history with classic examples of lure developement for striped bass fishing and the crusty old characters behind the lures, rods and reels that were the forbears of what we know and what we use today.
Show us all what you got, there are lots of plugs still out there hanging in garages, basements and stuffed in old tackle boxes still to be discovered. I know I want to see them and I am sure all of you do too.
