32 plugs eek.

What;s the deadline? April 8th, 2037?

I almost condsidered backing out but, I'm in

But before we begin let me ramble a minute.....

I assume you want 2 styles (I hope). I have ran these huge swaps a few times and it does get a little frustrating because it's hard to keep a deadline in your head for 4 months. So lets make a promise here that we will all meet the deadline. We should also make a promise that we all aren't going to make needlefish at the last second. We've all seen each others work for the most part, what if we requested styles from each other? That may send Tagger into fits as he knows Darters will be his request. SO everyone builds 16 of what they want to build and 16 of the requested plug... is this a good idea?

Tobias you are a brave BRAVE man my friend

I hope I have something in wood someone would want . I just epoxied my first plugs last weekend. I guess I will have to get a few photo's to see if I am worthy. I will do any amount, can always use 20 or 30 more plugs. I'm a glutton for punishment. Would they have to be all the same plug or material? Could they vary? Some SS some Alum. some Wood? Doesn't matter to me just curious. I am an amateur. P.

I don't know who the nit wit is that said that. I mean I will start this weekend. I have a whole week as a plug builder under my belt so I will need every available minute I am sure. I am still nervous that the paint will fall off my first plugs. Does the builder get to select the plug he wants to build or are you going to hand out assignments? P.

The SUPER SWAP is CLOSED!

Below is the list of 20 participants:

Tobias
tagger
Professor Moriarty
Dad Fisherman
Christian
Striperhound
Canalman
Slipknot
Fishaholic18
Backbeach Jake
Spence
Cranium
LIFishVT
Reelecstasy
Throwing Timber
Fishpart
Mac
thefishingfreak
Bigfish
Kadywampus

The tentative date of completion for all builders will be February 17, 2006. I will start another thread called "SUPER SWAP" where you will post what you are going to build. I want to make sure we don't get too many of the same type of lures like needles. So be creative.

For those that missed out on this swap. I will organize another smaller swap with only 6 participants as has been done in the past. I'll call it the "MINI SWAP" If anyone else wants to run it, you're more than welcome to. I don't mind doing it.

This should keep me busy

Dave if you want I will drop out and let you in. If it wasn't for you and a few others I would never have got mine done. P.

It would actually be 17 or 34 plugs....can't forget The Godfather's Tribute.

I like the idea of 2 different kinds of plugs, but requesting specific ones could get confusing. I think that should be the the call of the guy running this.

Either amount doesn't matter to me.....I just want wood....

Paul, I wouldn't want to take someones spot. You'll like this, plug swaps are cool. If everyone wants to add another one I'll get in. If not that is fine. Don't drop out though as when the package arrives it is like a second christmas.
