[Lincoya]

Official Name: TU Lure Exchange

Overview: The TU Lure Exchange is a voluntary lure exchange for both paid and non-paid members of the TackleUnderground forum.

To Join: You must be a currently subscribed member of TackleUnderground.

Frequency: As announced.

Guidelines:

1.) Lure Exchanges will be conducted by category as announced, i.e. Hard Bait Exchange, Spinnerbait Exchange, etc.

2.) Lures will be exchanged for like lures in the following categories:

Hard baits – crankbaits, topwater - 1 for 1

Swimbaits (hard) – 1 for 1

Swimbaits (soft) – 10 per pack – 1 pack for 1 pack

Jigs – 5 for 5

Spinnerbaits – 1 for 1

Worms – all soft plastic – 10 per pack – 1 pack for 1 pack

3.) Each Lure Exchange will have a maximum of 10 participants.

4.) Each participant will make one lure (or set as indicated above) for every participant of the exchange including one for themselves.

5.) Lures will be mailed to the TU Lure Exchange Coordinator by the posted closing date of the Exchange.

Size and Time Investment: This is up to the individual. Sign your work with pride, and date/number as desired.

A Word on Skill Level:

The TU Lure Exchange is intended for lure makers of all skill levels - it is not about how good you happen to be; it's about sharing your work with other lure makers. Beginners should not be reluctant to participate because their work "might not measure up" to the work of others in the list. Remember: we all started somewhere!

Process:

1.) The TU Lure Exchange Coordinator will post a message on the TU forum announcing the opening of the commitment period for participation in the exchange cycle. Committing to a cycle means that you have (or will have) 10 COMPLETED IDENTICAL lures or packages in hand and ready to ship to the TU Lure Exchange Coordinator within twenty-one (21) days of the end of the commitment period.

2.) ALL commitment responses confirming your intent to participate MUST be posted on the forum in the Lure Swap section. No PMs or emails will be accepted.

3.) Package up your lures, with the appropriate shipping costs (indicated in the lure swap post), include three (3) shipping labels with your name & address, ship them off and you are done!

4.) When all of the lures have arrived, the TU Lure Exchange Coordinator will re-package all of the lures and mail them back to all of the participants.

An Important Note: This is a voluntary program and no fees are charged other than shipping charges. By the same token, no guarantee is expressed or implied regarding the quality, size or timeliness of delivery of an exchange lure.
