Turning Saturday. Drill and weight Sunday/Monday. Seal and dry Tuesday. Paint Thursday/Friday Start epoxy next weekend. In a perfect world.... Worried about what I will run out of in terms of hardware..... and when I'm going to realise it.

This being my first plugfest is there proper etiquette for trading or trying to buy plugs? I'm a newbie and do nice work but I'm not on the same par as a lot of the guys on this site, do I wait for someone to ask me to trade?

get there early as u can...pick a table..lay out your goodies and stand close...they will come to you...don't be fooled by the farthers who send in their kids to get freebies...u say no and tell them to go get your old man if he wants to trade.

Oh BTW watch out for this guy Capesams.
He has machinist envy.
Never met a machinist he didn't like
The younger the better, hope you are younger than I, as he can use his many years of old Cape Cod ingenuity and Jedi mind control to get what he wants . You won't be able to resist. He is an expert so heed my warning and walk the other way, he is slow no need to run, when he approaches.

I think capesams forgot to add the sarcastic smilies to his post there,

You don't have to wait for someone to ask to trade with you, go ahead and ask if you see stuff you like.

Every year the subject of selling comes up it seems, either before, after or during plugfest. Sponsors of the site who speak to JohnR ahead of time should be the only ones selling stuff. This plugfest began as a lure building get together and has gained attendance ever since it began. In the beginning a few guys brought some supplies and stuff as a convenience, but the spirit of Plugfest was never to become a flea market free for all selling plugs, it's for trading and learning , conversing, eating and general having a good time with others that enjoy the hobby of making our own lures to fish with. I personally have not witnessed selling in or outside of plugfest, although it has gone on, I am not the plug police and can't enforce something like that. All I can do is ask that you do not sell or try to buy stuff unless it's a sponsor. Thanks for understanding. Plugfest is what you guys make it. If anyone else would like to make a thread next year explaining it all over again for new people, please feel free to.

What you may also see is transactions already agreed upon and being completed when the parties meet up at Plugfest... Examples; I am going to be handing off a couple rods that are spoken for through classifieds, and I will hopefully be picking up some of Freak's cod jigs while there...
