What, no category for lead  
1) two categories: fishable and anything goes.
2) builder can enter as many as one plug in each category
3) all plugs entered are raffled off with proceeds going to support the site
4) in the case of an out of state winner, the twinkies will be given to Freak so he can feel like a winner too

I had the pleasure of talking to Stan Kuzia for about 3 hours today at an annual CC bait shop New Years party. I have known Stan for a long time and I always walk away saying I wish I had a tape recorder with me as I forget so much but he told me he is making a plug to fit a situation and I told him to get it done so he could enter it as I think Tagger is taking him and Carl to the plugfest. I am not sure he will finish in time but that would be cool. We don't see many 80 plus year old plugmakers . P.

Ed they were both their and both are looking forward to it. Stan was a machinist so I always have to try and direct him back to fishing talk as he wants to talk about what I am working on, machinist stuff, and I want to hear about the good old days of fishing.

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.........

I think there should be tests on Paint Adhesion, Sealing, Tail loops
the whole part of building is being lost, sure a plug can look real nice and all but how good is it if it soaks in water and cracks or all the paint comes off after the first few casts, or even the tail loop opens when you have a fish on/ or is loose and spins while retrieving

Bob, it's Plugfest not Underwriters Labaratories. I guess we just have to take some things at face value. Anyone that knows plugs knows a good tail loop or can smell the feint trace of sealer. It would get too weird ( not that getting a bit weird isn't a good thing).
Simple rules and good fun is all. |

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.
