Celticav Posted January 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Reaper lures and C n R Tackle & Supply make 14 and the roster is closed, Oh boy, fun fun fun, just read in the posts above how to confirm your place, shipping costs, and if you still have questions then feel free to ask. The roster is as follows: 1. robertjp 2. siebler_custom_baits 3. Fat Ratz 4. Markell 5. basskat 6. jigmaster 7. Big Splash 8. Gr8flyz 9. cavu 10. deadlystreamer 11. Celticav 12. snookin4 13. Reaper lures 14. C n R Tackle & Supply The poll is closed also with a shipping date of Febuary 24 getting the most votes as of this post. I have about everyone confirmed and sent my response pm which tells where to send the $6.00 shipping fee and my shipping address to send the baits. You must send 14 swap baits (1 swap package for each participant) and you will get one of your own mailed back to you in your group but this will save me a ton of time in sorting and sending them back out. If you want to send the $6.00 shipping with your swap baits, that will be fine. Thanks to all those involved for bearing with me on hosting my first swap. siebler_custom_baits I appreciate that, I would most like the colors that are your favorites... I am always intrested in what the members here have for a favorite color in this lure or that bait and would enjoy that the most. Thank you for suggesting this swap again, great idea.

Celticav Posted January 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Welcome to TU, look forward to seeing you around more often. This particular swap is closed already, but we will be doing another hopefully before spring gets here and most of these guys are trying to fill their orders. Glad to have you here and hope to see you on the next one, JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Ok, Here's a sample of what I'm sending. Have to hustle and get mine out.

siebler_custom_baits Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Are you sending a mix of the 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markell Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Basskat, Those look awsome! I love the spinnerbait. I finished pouring all my jigs this past weekend and have started to paint the first round. I still have not decided on what color baits to include for my second batch. I have it down to three color schemes. The only thing I know for sure is I am sending 28 jigs. This is the first time I have been involved in a swap like this and I am very excited. I am not an expert but I am putting all I have into this. Celticav, would it make it easier for you if we included a return address label?

siebler_custom_baits Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I am ready to send mine sience the roster closed but will wait until it gets closer to the ship by date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I sending one of each. That lil spinnerbait was awesome this past fall. Those big ole five pound spots will eat it up. The buzzbait is 1/4 oz. That was the big craze here last year. Everyone wanted black too. As soon as my blades come in I'll go ahead and ship mine. Figures just when fishing picks up they send me off to the far side of the world. Wonder if they have bass fishing in China? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlystreamer Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 OK, I'm drawn to the bait. What's goen on in China? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticav Posted January 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Markell: You can all send a return address label if you like, good idea really, that would definently make it much easier on me but I will figure it out either way, like my wife always says, "Jim, some stuff don't take a G.E.D. " You already have the right attitude on this, great to hear that you feel as I do about this swap. It is my first swap too and I am hosting it also so I know where your coming from. I haven't decided about colors myself yet either; but have a couple narrowed down that should produce just about anywhere. If your like me you want to send something that will get fished... well I believe we are all fishermen here so just go with your instinct and I don't feel you will let us down at all. I really look forward to seeing your baits. basskat: You can send your swap package at your convience, I will make sure you have a package when you return from China or send it there if you need it to go that way, whatever you need man, just let me know. One of our oldest friends works in Hong Kong for 1 to 1 1/2 year stints at a time and loves it, says its a great place to get a thousand dollars worth of shopping for $50 and that there is always something to go do and see, but he has never mentioned any bass fishing... Sorry. Your lures look absolutly great, hope you like mine as well as I like the ones in the pics. siebler_custom_baits: If you are ready to send your packages then feel free to go ahead, I will put them up until I get everyone's all together. I am going to ship the day after I recieve the last package regardless of the date, when I have them all I will pack and ship... that simple. I have some space cleared off of a shelf in my work room to store them on until I have everyones here, so you wouldn't be putting me out at all, actually I cannot wait till they start trickling in... I get to see them first !! I appreciate all you guys and love having a place where us and those like us can meet, discuss ideas, teach, learn and do stuff like this swap.

basskat Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Deadly I'm headed over to work for three weeks or a month. Should be a neat place to visit. Ain't sure this old redneck has any business there but the company feels different about that. Cel just send my package here. Hopefully my wife want use them until I return. Think I'm going to do something to the outboard where she don't take off to the lake without me! She's got hooked on fishing herself. Have to sneak off to go without her.

topher Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I am still making improvements to my swap baits, getting in some new silicone to match up colors better, it will be about 2-3 weeks before I will have mine done. Have a lot of hard water stuff to do yet too. I don't understand fishing when it's -16 degrees plus a 20 mph wind, but I guess...

deadlystreamer Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 basskat, Don't know how much time you'll have for fun; but have some while there and be safe. We'll be here when you get back and your box of goodies will be there waiting for you, unless your wife takes them all out and gives then all the fishen test.. I'll bet she'll wait for you. to go fishing I mean. Take care Kat, See ya on the flip side of your trip. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticav Posted January 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 C n R Tackle & SupplyNo hurry on shipping the packages, the date is Feb 24 that is what we voted on and if you do not ship till that day then that is your right, no probs. It is mid 60s here and about time for the sows to start cruising the shallows. Deadly Streamer: I am so looking forward to recieving your package, I have used those three I recieved from you before until they are just plain worn out! I use it Chirmy-Style as the wieght on a drop-shot and the spotted bass just will not leave it alone. Excellent little hooks on those, comes to the cover too well and that long shank always gets a great hookset. JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadlystreamer Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Hey Jim, Has your wife turned the kitchen table over to you yet to open all these boxes and separate them? Your gonna need some room for that chore. I'll bet it's quite interesting. I'm looking forward to the box headed my way the end of February. Good luck Jim and have fun..

Celticav Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Nah, she actually said something about cleaning off her sewing table if I needed it but I have plenty of room for this pleasant chore. Man you have impressed me again with what you sent, a great choice and makes the mix all the more diversified. Thanks man, JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Cel, mine mailed out today. The money order is enclosed in the package.

Markell Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I finished the last of my 28 jigs today. I still need to give them a good inspection and figure out my packaging. Celticav, I am planning on sending 14 3/8 oz. jigs and 14 1/4 oz. jigs complete with rattles and Gamakatsu hooks. Based on the packages you have received thus far, am I below par with my offerings? I can have 14 more ready by this time next week. I want to be fair. I would rather give too much than not enough. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
