Of course what it come down to for me is I'd rather have 23 NIB plugs.
Only kidding.NIB is not capable of such numbers..Great work.I know some guys can put together that amount very easily an some must have been really stressed out.I know i would have been. I think it was a major accomplishment just pullin this thing off.Congrats to Tobias for the obvious.an to the rest of the fine builders.on a great effort...Now all of u send me a plug for ur next project...

I know what you mean John
but I'll fish these for sure, maybe the ones I only have one from that builder might get retired quickly but I'll toss them all, not sure if I can get myself to get striperhounds' plug wet though I'd hate to lose that one.

No, BM didn't stake out my mailbox.

NIb you couldn't do this swap if you had 23 years to do it, who are you kidding?

Thanks Tobias I'm glad I entered this swap, it's the best yet.

Flap, I'll show you them in person soon

Not kidding anyone.
Maybe u missed the line where I said "NIB is not capable of such numbers."

[Slipknot]

ya I missed that
now go soak your feet and dust off your gear

I don't think I can rewire that billy M danny with the crooked lip since it appears to be epoxied in maybe some heat? I'd like to get it centered.

Took some time on Friday and swam a few of the plugs at the local river. It was pretty windy and the middle of the outgoing tide.

Big Fish - Great popper casts like a bullet, moves a lot of water, has action when slowly reeled, great paint.

Fish part - Your spook reminds me of an old guzz ballerina plug I had. Great WTdog action, can be swum up top or a foot or two below. Casts great. This will be in my bag alot. I am a sucker for a topwater plug.

Karl F - When I thru your plug up current, I backlashed my reel. so as I am pulling the line out of the reel, i look at your plug which has started to swing in front of me with the current. The little guy has a great little wiggle all on his own. I fix the baclash, start to reel slowly and he starts swimming with a nice s. Paint looks great in and out of the water.

And the last one I had time for was
Striperhound - What can I say great paint and great action- The purple really comes out on the back when it is swimming. I havent decided if I will fish or hang. But it seems a shame not to swim such a great plug.

I will get to the rest this week.

By the way, I cant say it enough, thanks for letting me participate and Andy thanks for putting it together. I have only been building plugs for about 14 months and counting the swap have only finished about 50 plugs. This was a great learning experience. I am definately in for next year. If you have any problem with my plug let me know and I will replace it. Even if you snap it off, I will make you a new one. It might take me a year and a half, but I will replace it. That is all.
