Popular Post redg8r Posted December 3, 2011 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Miss out on the last lure swap or looking to add to your custom tackle collection? Spread a little holiday cheer by joining our "Secret Sander" tackle exchange! Works like most "Secret Santa" exchanges, All US residents are welcome to participate. (Due only to timing issues and being late in the season) If successful, we will plan one worldwide earlier for next year. How it works: All participants will randomly receive the name and address of another participant to make for. Participants aren't paired or reciprocal, they will simply be chosen at random. You will not know who is making for you and vice versa. The recipient won't have a clue who you are unless you elect to tell them, you have the option of remaining anonymous by not leaving a name on the package. General rules: Must be functioning (usable) fishing tackle, made by yourself or your outfit. Must be US resident. Must be able to ship via USPS priority mail which includes free delivery confirmation. If you CANNOT ship by the posted deadline simply DO NOT sign up. Try and adhere to a fair market value of $10-$15 product total. Going over is fine if you're feeling generous. How to participate: FIRST Check the following link & make sure your postal address is available and updated in our system. We will pass your postal address to, and only to, the one member randomly chosen as your "Sander", otherwise your complete postal address remains hidden to the public as usual. After your postal info is available "Like" this post, to sign up. The "Like" button is located lower-right of this post. We will use this as our list of participating members. After cutoff, you will be privately assigned another random participating member to make for. Make and mail your gift before the postal deadline. Await your gift to arrive shortly after Christmas! The most important thing is to follow through with your gift. It only works if everyone sends something and gets something in return. Signup's are open from now until Sat. Dec. 17th. After which you will receive your addressee via PM. Merry Christmas Everyone! Jerry "redg8r" p.s. I know the name "secret sander" is corny, feel free to pass along a funnier name if you come up w/ one 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redg8r Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Sorry, I'm awaiting a couple members to complete their postal info so we can draw names. I've contacted those members and if no response by Tuesday, we'll unfortunately have to move on without them. Everyone should already be building, unless you were holding out to personalize your item, in that case, sorry for the delay, I'm sure they will respond asap. I'll update the thread promptly. Thank you to everyone participating and hope you get something really cool out of it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Prager Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I received mine a few days ago. A few cool looking hand crafted shark looking crank. I've never seen anything like this before! Very unique. I hope to pool test it tomorrow to see what type of crank it actually is and then it goes on display. I don't know the name that goes with the username, but thank you, JS! I will post a pic shortly. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleriver Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Mine arrived today! Thank you Coley! I am posting pictures of these baits on sunday. I will have time to take a decent picture. I have learned though it is impossible to capture the beauty of some baits with a photo. These baits fall into this category. You have to hold them in your hands to really appreciate how good they really are and these are outstanding. Thank you Coley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleriver Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Here are my "Secret Santa" Baits. I really was lucky this year. Thank you Coley for the beautiful baits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anamealreadyinuse Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I love the bait we got but my son and I would have appreciated it alot more if you had put some sort of note as to how you made it, what you used etc. Very happy with the bait but we appreciate the story as much as the bait.

Richard Prager Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I love the bait we got but my son and I would have appreciated it alot more if you had put some sort of note as to how you made it, what you used etc. Very happy with the bait but we appreciate the story as much as the bait.The bait is a clone of the Megabass Vision Ito 110 which I got from www.bustinbassbaits.com I used both Createx and Auto Air paints and then cleared with one coat of Bob Smith Industries 30 Minute Slow Cure Epoxy. That clear coat is very similar to D2T you talked about in another thread but with a slightly longer working time. If you like D2T, then give this stuff a try. You will like it even better!

the canadian Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 This is great! I'm so impressed by Tackle Underground's sense of community. I'm impressed every time I delve deeper into this site. Not just by the innovation and craftsmanship displayed by it's members but the brotherhood that has developed. I know it's a little early but I'm totally in for Secret Sander 2012. Keep it up, TU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
