Plugfest 2010 contest plugs

[JohnR]

I would think we keep at least most of the same categories, at least in spirit maybe combining some.

Best overall
Rookie Plug
Best Classic - homage to / restoration of - Steve was big into rebuilding old and dilapidated classics too. Interesting he won it every year (though tied for it some times)
Novelty Plug

We've generally varied the categories but these above I think best inspire the fest.

When you pay admission you get a ticket for door prize AND your simple voting slip and only those slips will be taken for the vote - that should keep it more simple


Just My Opinion

I'll pretty much support what is best (or what Slip tells me to do).

[Slipknot]

I agree with that John

so I guess we'll have 4 plug contest categories

best overall
best Flaptail plug in honor of Steve
best rookie
best novelty

I have a question. For the flaptail can we put a flaptail on another style of plug (ie surfster or spook) or do we have to stay to this
original flaptail style?

[Slipknot]

creativity is up to the builder
however it is done is up to you
a needle with a small blade in back qualifies I guess since it would have a flaptail.
They can use colorado blades or real flaptail blades, doesn't matter. there are no hard set rules

[Dad 818]

Bruce, where can I get flaptail blades? I have seen colorado blades, but none of those used on flaptails?

[Slipknot]

I thought moores sold them
I think salty has them too

[Slipknot]

since we now don't need the classic plug on the ballot
here are the 4 categories

Best of Show
Best Rookie/Novice Builder
Best Novelty Plug
Best Flaptail Plug

So is this what we came up with for ballots?

if so, that is what we'll do unless you want further discusion

[angler229]

What about best representation of a classic, or is that just going to be the flaptails?

[Slipknot]

Thank you Dan, I'll add that one too

[Slipknot]

OK, just to be clear, is it the case that contest plugs will be mostly Flaptail plugs? Are some people bringing contest plugs other than Flaptails? I thought so Are they all being judged all at once? I'm so confused
someone straighten me out please.

I was going to make a flaptail and also a contest plug(not a flaptail plug) if that makes any sense.

One table will have contest plugs to be voted on by everyone, another table will display all the flaptail plugs(hopefully most of them will be donated to the raffle, I understand if some do not) , now this brings my dilema, do we have 2 separate votings/ballots? or just add a category at bottom of the regular ballot?

can you see how I'm confused
