Its coming together folks! Its coming this Saturday (See the sticky's at the top of the page for details and location) We got some demos being done by Dave LaPorte (Stiff Tip is Loading Cotton Cordells so bring some along and he will show you how), Rockfish9 (Joe is gonna show us some of his jigs for drilling and cutting plug bodies), Slipknot (Bruce is going to demo thru drilling on a lathe), JFiguiolo is going to be sharpening skews, EastEndLou will be sharpening drill bits and The Greek will be doing a handcarve demo! MikeCC will be there with all of his plug building supplies from M & D's Bait and Tackle/Cape Cod Tackle so we can all load up on hardware! There are going to be some great vintage plug collections displayed along with many of todays custom builders showing and swapping their work with one another! There is also going to be food.......ohhhhh the food.......so do not forget to add something to the potluck feast! Also there will be contests and a couple of raffles so if you want to contribute to the raffles feel free and make sure you buy some tickets for the raffles...always great prizes to be had!!! Did I forget to add anything here guys???

You finished more than me i have a ton of bodies done my contest plug 80% finished but stuck working so i won't have a shot at finishing anything in time. I need another two weeks I will sharpen drills and bring a jig or two for show and tell. Maybe i will get a chance and help Slip give a thru drilling how to Lu style.
