Official Plug Swap Sign UP

OK,

Sign up for the Plug Swap HERE....

Here's how it works,

The group will be limited to TEN people, so first come, first served.
No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service.

You will need to make all plugs identical, or as close as possible.

I will take care of all the shipping and receiving, although you will have to supply a five spot when you send in your plugs in order to cover shipping them back to you.

The first one is Wood for Wood.

The deadline for all plugs to be turned in will be DECEMBER 8th. Earlier is better.

Lets try to get some different things in the swap. I know that soem are limited to tools and the like, but if you can make something different it would be appreciated. We all love needles, but why make ten to get ten?

So jump on the wagon and sign up already!

Count me in! I'll make Parrot Colored Poppers then.

Is there a deadline for joining this? So I know how many to make.

I'm in.
I am just starting to make plugs so needles would be easiest for me but if there are to many making needles already then I guess I could make some reverse Dannys. What color?

I would like to sign up! I am very limited in what i can make with a rasp file and electric drill....poppers. Dont know what colors but they dont look to bad, they are about 5 1/2 by 1 1/2 and wieght about 2 ounces. I like that boat from the last swap but havent used it. 10x10, that needle is nice and casts great!

OK, I'm in but you guys are getting me in a lot of trouble. Mrs. Pogie is reaching critical mass waiting for the fish to disappear so I can finish remodeling her reading room. Now I gotta slip a bunch of plugs in somewhere along the line. I'll make 3 oz. polaris style poppers in the pogie or bunker pattern if that's ok. I'll bring them with me to Slip's plug party on Dec. 8th. ...mrpogie

..Slip, I don't want to be flat tire....but I probably won't have any plugs to contribute....I'd still love to attend...and be a fly on the wall taking notes...I'm gonna try and make it over to Tattoo's soon to get a peek at the manufacturing of these fish foolers...

..but if you feel the need to replace me...just let me know...and I'll understand...

..if theres somethin you'd like me to bring ......just holla

Tattoo, I already cut the blanks for the poppers and they're shorter. Let's do another one after the holidays and I'll do bottles. They require more time and I'm kinda short on that right now. That's why I opted for the poppers. ...mrpogie
