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

[angler229]

I know in years past allot of people built 2 plugs for contests. One for overall and another geared at a specific category. So I think that should still be an option for people.

So here is what I'm thinking we have 5 categories...
Best of Show
Best Representation of a Classic
Best Rookie/Novice Builder
Best Novelty Plug
Best Flaptail Plug

So in the end we have one ballot with the 5 categories. Everyone that enters a plug should include a notecard with the categories (all plugs are automatically considered for Best of Show) that they want the plug entered. Then as the plugs are displayed for voting they can be arranged by category.
