Lincoya Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) HARDBAIT LURE SWAP 1) This will be a lure swap for handmade crankbaits,topwaters, hard jerk baits, and other like lures. 2) The lures will be made from wood, foam, or PVC. 3) The lures will be hand carved, turned on lathe, or poured into a mold. 4) Factory lures that have been repainted are not eligible for this swap. 5) The lure will be a working lure. In other words, the lure will have all of the actions that would be expected of a lure that would be fished. 6) Hooks will be removed from the lures before shipping.This will prevent the lures from being damaged during shipping. 7) There will be a maximum of 10 participants in this swap. The first ten people to sign up will be included in this swap. OPTIONAL, BUT WOULD BE PREFERRED: Include a small piece of paper (for each lure) with the following information about the lure: a) Name of maker and TU Username Location (city and state or at least state) of lure maker c) Type of material used d) Type of paint e) Type of clear coat (unless youhave a secret one) 9) The final commitment date is July 3, 2011 at midnight.

I will send a PM to each participant with my mailing address. 11) Please read the TU LURE EXCHANGE RULES @ http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/18601-tu-lure-exchange/ for further guidance. These rules have specific guidelines that should be followed. 12) Once I receive everyone’s lures I’ll repackage them and send them out to all of the participants. 13) Please be sure to include your shipping fees, as indicated in the above TU LURE EXCHANGE RULES (#11), with your lures.

I'd like to include you in swap but if you stiil want to withdraw, that's fine. Let me know for sure what you want me to do. Thanks.

I'll actually have a little time off from work and should be able to make the lures. Just to be sure I read it correctly, I need to make 10 lures of the same kind and mail them to you after you send me a PM with your mailing address? I look forward to seeing the other lures people are making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoya Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Benji, I'm glad that you changed your mind. I think you'll be glad, too. Yes, you read right. You need to have 10 identical completed lures mailed to me by the specified date. The swap is limited to 10 participants. However, if we don't have 10 participants, you will only need to make enough to cover the number of participants. Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishsticks Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 There will be 10 people in the swap and we all make 10 lures. I was wondering after the lures are all distributed back out, will we be mailed back one of our own lures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoya Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Fishsticks, Yes, you will actually get 9 different lures from the other participants and one of your own. It's easier for me to build 10 identical sets to be mailed back to the participants as opposed to building 10 unique sets and making sure that I get each unique set mailed back to the right person.

I think I would have been too busy unpacking, removing cobwebs and killing spiders around here anyway. Are you going to post pictures of all the 'swappers' lures??
