I liked the Carver venue, but think we should put the plug tables upstairs. More room and light. Probably could fit the food up there as well, do the demos downstairs.

Yup! Much more room upstairs for plug tables. If food tables up stairs as well we can sit and BS with out leaving the fun.
Last tyear was my first and I have to say the trip was worth every minute. I had a great time and a sensational fried clam dinner!  |

Here is the problem with carver .
It has a dirt parking lot and 1/4 mile dirt driveway. If it is frozen it's fine but if it is mushy we will have cars sunken everywhere.
I went thru hell last year grading out the parking lot with my truck and will not do that again. The time of year we have this we usually do not rent the club for that reason.
If you guys want it there it's fine. I do not want to get blamed if it is a washout.

As much as it must feel good to win why would you ever want to exclude anyone and potentially some great and possibly even innovative plugs? One thing that I think is cool about this competition and event is that you tend to remember the plug that won and not necessarily who built it. I've never been but that is my impression from the post plug night threads.
Hoping to make this my first plugfest although I will have nothing to offer the plug gods. Willing to help out if needed though.
Is it poor form to bring in commercial pluggage and attempt to trade/ho builders?

What happens in time is the same folks win year after year which is fine, but I feel others may say why try and enter when these repeat winners will again be entering once again so I don't stand a chance...buy changing it up, it may give some alittle push to try their hand at the table enstead of saying..ahhh forget it.The past winners can still bring their goodies to show and tell. |

 Bring it on its not worth the challenge if i can not compete against some of the most talented plugbuilders out there ,plus this is supposed to be for fun so enjoy and if you win or lose it don't matter just enjoy the company.  |

What about if there were two divisions in each category?
Masters Division: Cream of the crop. Test your metal against other masters. If you have won a category before you can only enter the masters in that category. Other challengers may also enter (instead of entering the Journeypersons Division). Highest three scores take 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Segregate the plugs from the Journeypersons Division.
Journeypersons Division: For the rest of us aspiring masters. Highest three scores take 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
Rookie Honorable Mention: Rookie entries could be identified as such when registered to enter but concealed from the voting public. Highest scoring rookie entry in the category gets the rookie award for the category. Highest scoring rookie entry across all categories gets rookie of show.
Perhaps there could also be rattle can and airbrush sub-divisions in the Journeypersons Division. Again noted when registered but concealed from the voters and highest scores win.
More awards will give more builders the opportunity to receive recognition and something to boast about to their friends. |

Actually Karl a lot of plugs did get built and last year was the ebst so far as presentations (PNG offsett turning, turning in general, Bigfish airbrush, the demos were constantly going on all day etc) There was more swapping going on than in past years ( Numby alone must have swapped out 20 plus plugs.
I don't remember Karl if you made it or not last year but man it was a good one and there was some real quality work and the categories were just about perfect what with First timers awards and such.
Plus, and I hope this can happen again, the gentleman who had all that Northen white cedar for sale.
The road in is definetly a tricky item if we get a thaw but the club in Carver was perfect though I would move everything up stairs except the demos which should remain downstairs.
The first ones we used to have at Slip's were great with Johnny Habs and Bassmaster (aka Nutbag) but it has gotten even better and there is some real talent showing plus everyone was learning, I mean everyone. There was no rump swabbery, ballot stuffing or chest thumpery, it was all in good fun.
So come on Karl, we missed you the last couple. Join us. You do add to the level of quality and we all like seeing your stuff and the hijinks (I still proudly display my Karl F. BassBabyBottle plug on my wall !)
I can just imagine what Chumbucket will be working on this year. |
Why even try.........

Keep the contest the way it is .(even though I've never even placed)  . Great seeing the limits pushed .. Are we men or are we dancers ? Place ?,, I don't care .. Its the plugs .. Time ? .. not superbowl day . .. I may be bias, but its my opion, best plug to grace plugfest was Numbskulls "Surf Hooty".. No retrictions on the contest .. love looking at the creativity . |

Yeah, keep it the same. That gives me a chance to play in the big leagues every year.
The only thing that I'd like to see is a bulliten board with the events and times posted. I miss some terrifif stuff every year. If there has always been a board, for the love of God will someone please say "Hey, Jake! Read this!!"
Other than that, PlugFest has been the true start to my New Years!
