Not that any of you plug builders need incentive but I'll offer the winner a guided trip surfcasting my home water in Newport. Least I could do to support this website. Must win the "classic plug" catagory.

Incentive
Not to build, but to make the long drive from VT. For some reason I can do it to fish but to look at plugs... A prize like that would make it worth it.
Nice offer

I work in Education and this whole discussion reminds me of the one thing I abhor about educators. They form committees to form committees. Let's let this years organizers set the day and we all live with it. Simple I know but it works.

Why even try.........

Better add another 100 hours, you'll need a rod to throw it too

Whaaaat!!!!? Well that shoots my plug outa the water. I guess I gotta go to something else now. Commitee rule.

You're getting cranky from all of those years working in Education. Something I abhor about educators - most of 'em never worked in the real world - Anyway

How's this?

Three Classes:

Best FISHING Plug - Including Classics, Innovative, Serious plug for the art of fishing. Sub category Best Plug, Most Artistic, Best Classic, Most Innovative?

Novice (less than 2 years building?) - Something to welcome some of the newer builders. Sub category Best Plug, Best Paint, Best Classic

Novelty - Anything legal and mostly ethical (that won't make a 14 year old blush).

Similar to last year, anonymous drop off, High Twinkie Factor, (auction is up to you guys, it does help the site but it is not required - entirely up to you all).

Prizes will be light but respectable - figure a gift certificate or two for supplies and DZ had a very generous offer for some NPTSRFCSTN


Ronnie - anyone is welcome, except Raider fans ....

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
