Hi all. It's been a long time, and I'm sure we have a lot of new guys in the forum. I'm wondering if any of you have interest in me running a plug swap. For you new guys, feel free to look up the threads from other plug swaps I have run. Respond here if you are interested. If we get enough guys, I'll provide instructions for everyone. Thanks.

That would depend on interest and the type of swap I put together. I usually shoot for 10-12 participants with a four-week deadline.

 

I don't like doing a typical swap where everyone makes a bunch of plugs and you just trade... that's too boring. Here are some of the swaps I have done here in the past:

 

-Make 3 plugs all the same. Post pics. I draw names to determine what order plugs are picked in, and we pick until all plugs are gone. Builder ships to the pickers. This option is exciting for everyone, because they get to try other builder's plugs.

 

-Make your best looking plug of the type and color I specify (i.e. blue popper). Post pics. When all pics are posted anyone on SOL can vote on the best looking plug. Builder with the most votes gets all plugs. Builders ship to the winner. This typically produces the nicest plugs.

 

-Some combination or variation of the above.

Yeah, sure, you betcha.

OK, so I see a little interest so we'll go with these rule and see how many guys are in.

 

Each participant has to put up three identical plugs. No limit on the number of guys that can enter. But here's the catch, we only do two rounds of picking.

 

We will do a third round of picking that will give us incentive to make the best plugs we've ever made. Only three guys will chose the plugs in round three, the three plug makers who have all of their plugs chosen first. The first guy who has all three of his plugs chosen gets to chose half (50%) of the plugs left in round three- and he gets to chose his half of the remaining plugs before the other two guys. Then, the second guy to have all three of his plugs chosen will get to pick half of the remaining plugs (25%). Whatever plugs are left (25%) belong to the third guy who has all three of his plugs chosen. If it's an odd number of entries, the first guy gets the extra plug.

 

All who want in just say so in this thread. Have pics of your plugs posted by January 18.

 

WHO'S IN?

Yeah, sure, you betcha.

Damn! time goes by fast…Wish i was in the game for this because its a great thing. Good call NY, I'm not set up to build right now but i encourage any new builders to participate. You get to see what other builders make and learn from it. I even got a Greek swimmer from these swaps. build on my friends.
