OK all you plug junkies.... we finaly have more than a few plug builders here... I say it's time for the first Stripers 247 swap....Anything but needles, all the same color, keep it a secret as to what your gong to build, ....April 30th dead line.. who's in?
i know he aint talkin bout me ! how did i get in this? i will honestly do my best .i know my plugs are not the prettiest ,but ive got a few styles that have produced for me .i was out turnin today for this!!!:wink1:

Just make you plugs and have fun, this is not about judgment, it's about a few guys ending the winter in style while dreaming about the upcoming season...they will be fine!
day or night fishing....
need to know if more of us do day or night fishing this way i know what to paint them i dont want to do all day if most fish night.....
It doesnt matter to me how many we have... I just want to make sure we each make one extra so I can mail 1 of each from us to Striper Jim, as it is his site we are using...
BTW... I finished my prototypes this weekend and turned 6, it took several tries to get the exact action I wanted, I've actualy been working on perfecting this thing for a few years... I'm making you guy's something I have never seen built before... this thing is sweet and will be a fish killer for a surfcaster or a boat man...it drills into the wind, can be fished slow on top or dive down 4'or so...
I am making a run of 20, what ever is left after the swap closes out, I'll throw at people at the Gatherings.
Aint no schoolie rat gonna attempt a take on these, and the damn things will scare Boo fish!
the 10 i got hanging ,ready to prime? i dont have the time or resources to whip out a new one every 5 days when someone else wants in .better yet ,give this guy my spot.im out
same with me im all done with paint dont realy want to make more.
if any one wants in i will just drop out for him to get in if that will make things easy for you guys if have been in tuns of swaps and dont want to hold back any one for a first time swap.
listen guys no hard feelings it said 10 guys. i counted 9 so i asked. someone could just say next time, not oh ill drop out etc.etc. this was suppose to be fun not a hassel. I will step aside and you guys go with 9 ok. ........:311door-thumb:
OK guy's, I dont want anyone left out, but we dont want this thing to create a problem either, it's supposed to be fun, so lets keep it that way.. we're all friends here... remember?.. OK, we are making 10 plugs, that means 9 members, and a set for JIm.. I've sent some PM's to a few of you to help work this out...
so, those that are still in need to post that they are still in by Friday 3 PM, if you want out, you have until friday to say so.. anyone NOT heard from will be removed from the list, Red Head is first altenate..
another option... anyone that doesnt mind making an extra plug ( that includes me) we can hold a mini swap within the swap to allow red head to join in.. it's up to you all...
Remember this is SUPPOSED to be fun...lets not make it a chore...
I'm still in and still having fun. My blanks are turned and I need to get my butt down to some salt water so I can check out the action and nail down the weighting. Once that is done, I'll finish them, water test them again, and get them over to Roc.
I started with 13. I lost one to through drilling, so I'm down to an even dozen. I've only had one get trashed so far, and I'll probably loose one more during water trials, (unless I'm real lucky in guessing the wieghting). So If I continue through the process and don't scrap any more, I should be able to participate in the mini swap because my yield will be 11. Even if I end up with 10 and can't participate in the mini swap "at this time", I'm willing to swap plugs with any builder. I'm relatively new at this and I learn by example, so whatever examples I have helps me improve. In another 10 years, or so, I might actually make a plug that catches fish....Maybe the grandkids will benifit......For now, I'm having fun and waiting for the fish to return to the river.:a_goodjob:
im out, iwas not trying to cause trouble for any one and am not going to get into a wise ass comment contest over the internet .i simply dont have the timeto start any from scratch again and dont want to be the only one not to include this guy ,or whoever comes after him.if this makes me look like a pissy whinebag ,so be it .
i dont see your situation as being a whinebag at all mully. your only one person and can only do so much with what resources you have. that goes for all of us. we all have families that need our attention also. i would love to see you in at least for the original 9...i think if roc needs to sort out one or two cases differently he will. you dont want to miss out on this, and to be honest..i was really looking forward to one of your plugs...your building is better than you may think.
I'm in for 10, 9+1 for striperjim, I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if anything changes, but the first 10 are turned/weighted/sealed and hanging.
oh yeah..im in still..i have 11 that will be available....#12 is mine...i cant break up the set :redbiggrin:....they are turned and drilled...i will be firing up the lead pot tonightthumbsup.gif
I'm still in - I'm out of town this week but I already proto-ed mine and plan on priming and weighting this weeknd - I like the idea of the mini swap - whoever is in for 9 or 10 +1 so be it . I'm OK for the extra one- So Redhead only gets (and has to make) 7 or 8. I'm sure he's Ok with that.
Mully, Hope you reconsider. It's all about fun and I think the mini swap is a great alternative. It's all about fun guys.
im sorry guys i got to back out.
way to many things going on in my life right now to add this to the mix will not be good for my future with my wife.
hope you under stand.
i promis i will make it up to you guys in the future....

I haven't seen any follow up posts by MikeCC. So I believe he is only one
in question. Please post a follow up if this doesn't look right to anyone. If
this is right I guess it would be 7 + 1

I just wanted to be clear on how may I need to send.I intended to include Mike in my count, so there is a total of 8 of us in. So would that be 7 plugs plus one for Jim?
Let's go with 8 + 1 and figure for mike to be in, until we hear otherwise.
End of April, deadline and we all get to fish some new plugs when the spring run starts!
That's what I'm talking about!!
First I have to get thru meat season, clams and chunks on the bottom, but OH BOY will we have some plugs to throw at fish when the water finally warms up.
Plugs are all painted, sun was shining today, going to be hard to work in the cave instead of going fishing, soon. I'm ready to close up shop and hit the water, anybody else?
