It turned out good the only complaint i got was all the packs off soft plastics with only 1 or 2 in the pack so i said this year if it aint a new pack of plastics dont put it in the box  :)


fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

The package moved around really fast last year!!


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

yep it moved really fast and i think everyone liked it

this also happened when we sent around a single lure for everyone to fish with, catch some fish, post some pics, and then send it on. i think the guy i sent it to left it at his house and then went off to college or something.

Those aren't negative posts , he's just pointing out the  possible pitfalls.


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

Ok guys the field is set and if you look at the first page where i made the list of guys that is in the swap is not the order that it will be sent.The way i did it last year was that i started closest to me and then it worked its way to the farthest guy from me and then he was the last guy to get the box then he shipped it to me

Now its up to you guys do you want me to start it on the east coast or the west coast or we could start it in the south but we need to get the box to brushhoggin before February the first because he is moving post what you guys think and ill try and get this out before Christmas  and i will pm you guys the address of the person that you are to ship the box to after your done with it  :) :) :) :)   


fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

Looks to be a solid list  8-)


fishing user avatarcrankbait2009 reply : 

closest to furthest a way sounds good to me (hee hee)


fishing user avatarchipmunk84 reply : 

bassclary send me address and when i get time i will make you a general lee its time consuming but will make you one and you may have to remind me again after the holidays and merry christmas to all of you may you be blessed always.........al


fishing user avatarchromedog reply : 

Excellent, I really look forward to this.  Whoever is behind me will see a lot of Rage Tail products I never got to use this year.


fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

It started out on the East coast last year I say let it head West maybe flip the script a little bit.  :D


fishing user avatar00 mod reply : 

Hope Im behind chromedog....love ragetail products!


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

Ok looks like west coast first ill try and get it out next week and ill pm you guys who you ship the box to


fishing user avatarbrushhoggin reply : 

so how does it start out? Fishnhard, do you just fill it up with a bunch of your own stuff and send it out?


fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

brushhoggin, if I understand correctly, he puts his stuff in there first, used or new, and the next person takes out what he wants, and puts stuff in to equal the trade, and this repeats till the list is over, in which the box goes back to him, and he keeps the baits that are left.


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

Yea thats the way it goes you never know what might be in the box  ;) 8-)


fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

Good times looking forward to this!!


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

Guys i will get the box sent out Monday and post some pics and pm you guys who your to send it to


fishing user avatarNibbles reply : 

Darn, just a little too late.   ;D


fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

Is this still a go?


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

Yes its still on i have just been slammed at work and didn't get a chance to get the box put together over Christmas Sorry guys ill get it out this week and ill pm every one when i do 


fishing user avatarBASSclary reply :

fishing user avatarfishn hard reply :

fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

Cool thanks!


fishing user avatarGangley reply : 

wow, I wasnt expecting to get it first...cant wait!


fishing user avatarchromedog reply : 

Is this still moving or did it even start?


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

Sorry I didn't post i just got the box back today the post office scanners didn't like how much lead was in the box i put 4 lure retrievers in the box that was lead so i got a call from the post master that my box was coming back the post master misters  is my best friends wife  :)   


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

Hey guys i put a Team Daiwa left hand bait caster in the box if you can use left hand take it if not leave it in there for a guy that does use left handers it needs cleaning its been on my shelf for about 4 years i paid over 200$ for it when it was new


fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

Thanks for the update Fishn!


fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

I've been needing a reel for a few weeks now... thanks for putting it in fishn hard!


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

well that's good Clary i hope you get it


fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

Is the box on the move?


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

Yep its on its way to Texas  :)


fishing user avatarchromedog reply : 

Nice, any pics to show what the box looked like to start?  We gonna keep a running log again?


fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

Logging puts and takes is the way to go I think, kept it pretty interesting.

Hey Chrome did you ever get a chance to use the Drop Zara last year?


fishing user avatarGangley reply : 

I'll take a pic of it when it arrives and one when it leaves.  I will also make a list of the "puts" and "takes".


fishing user avatarchromedog reply : 

Cool. 

Actually no, my fishing summer went to crap last year.  Boat crapped in spring.  Car gave me nothing but problems and I ended up getting tricked into coaching girls little league all summer.  This year will be different though, lol.


fishing user avatarGangley reply : 

Box Recieved

Takes:

1) Bomber Model 6A in the color Rootbeer Float(I Think)

2) Riverside soft plastic frogs

Puts:

1) Rapala DTFAT01 with Sure Set Hooks - White with Blue Back. Fantastic crankbait for the top of the water column. I enjoy using them around thinly dispersed lillypads and shallow laydowns.

2) ZOOM Swimming Flukes (Paddle Tail) in Smokin Shad. These are great weightless or with an EWG weighted hook. I put a Gamakatsu 5/0 EWG 1/8th oz. hook in the package with them. Thats the setup I seem to have the most luck with.

3) Kalins 5" Lunker Grub in Electric Blue. Its a wierd color but they work. Somebody should give them a try, you won't be disapointed.

4) Northstar Custom Baits Hair Jig - Watermelon Red Flash. I've had so much fun with these jigs, they are fantastic. I am very partial to them so whoever takes it out of the box better use it well, haha.

I will be out of the office tomorrow so the box most likely wont be sent out until Monday.

Thanks again Fishn Hard!


fishing user avatarJigfishn10 reply : 

WOW, looks like you guys are having fun with this! I wished I knew how it worked prior to it starting. Good job with this Fishn hard , hopefully you'll do this next year. I would love to jump in on it.

Good luck guys. Hope you all enjoy your new baits. :)


fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

So who gets it next?


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

I'm :) at work and don't have my list with me in what order the box is going around but i think chipmunk 84 gets it second then then brushhogin gets it 3rd I think 


fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

Is this on the move?


fishing user avatarGangley reply : 

As of this morning, it's on it's way to Arkansas.  I apologize for sending it so late, I have been working away from the office and thats where have been keeping the lure box.  Anyways, it is leaving Conroe, Texas and is on its way to "chipmunk84" in Arkansas.  When it arrives, please list your "takes" and "puts", along with a description of how you fish your "puts" so that other members will know how you have had your greatest success with them.


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

Good Job gangley  8-) 8-) 8-)


fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

Any updates on the box?


fishing user avatarGangley reply : 

I sent it last week so it should have arrived by now. Ill check the USPS code to see what the deal is and post it for everybody tonight.

but you didnt


fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

Defenately not moving as fast as it did last year!!


fishing user avatarGangley reply : 

Flat rates do not have tracking numbers, so I cant provide one, I did not know that until I checked last night. Regardless, I photographed the box on January 26 with the $10.95 paid shipping label, date, and delivery address to Chipmunk84's PO Box in Huntington, Arkansas. I PM'd Fishn Hard because I couldnt find his email address in his contact information, and offerend to send him a photograph of the box with all of the shipping information including the already paid postage attached. I can't post photographs from work, but I will be happy to send the photograph to anybody who can post it on here for all to see. Bottom line is, the package was sent out 6 days ago on January 26, 2011. The package was shipped, the issue is on the recipients end.

Since "Chipmunk84" has not responded or made any posts regarding recieving the package, and has not posted anything on this site in over a month, contacting him and seeing if there is a problem on his end would be the best thing to do.


fishing user avatarchromedog reply : 

Also, remember there has been crazy weather all over causing shipping delays.  It has been insane up here in NY.


fishing user avatardeaknh03 reply : 

I'm glad I missed this debacle


fishing user avatarGangley reply : 

Texas to Arkansas isn't bad, atleast not the past week or so.  It will be getting really bad really soon though.  Anyways, I did notice that in his contact information, his location is Greenwood, Arkansas but the mailbox adress that I was given to send the package to is a PO Box in Huntington, Arkansas.  Maybe he has been unable to get to it.

No reason to apologize.  Some people on here tend to get their panties in a twist easier than others and start assuming things before letting things run their course.  I hope you get to feeling better soon and hopefully you find some great stuff in the box that you can use.  Be safe in the cold weather, we actually have solid ice in the ditches here in Houston, so I know it's very cold elsewhere.

fishing user avatar00 mod reply : 

Received package today!  will be busy with Valentines day tonight, but will sort through, make my takes and puts hopefully tomorrow and get it back on its way soon!

Jeff


fishing user avatar00 mod reply : 

OK! I have my pictures of takes and puts! Im pretty sure I'm putting much more than the takes! I'm not sure this intended to be this way, But this should not be a "take whats good and dump your junk in this box!" I have included some things that there were NONE of in this box for the rest of the people! There were 0 swim baits of any kind(minus flukes which i consider more of a soft jerkbait) I put in some of my favorite "less expensive" swimbaits! I use these 10:1 of the more expensive ones as I dont like loosing a $20 bait! There are a dozen 4" swimbaits, 8 3'' swimbaits and then another bag of 8 or so mixed swimbaits! Also I included a bag of Megastrike's new swimbaits, a bag of flukes, a bag of coffee tubes, a bag of chigger craws and a plano terminal tackle storage box!

photo-1.jpg

My takes were 5 used crankbaits, deeper divers!

photo-2.jpg

All of the products I places were BRAND NEW and never used! Some packs did have one or two missing... but mostly full! I hope that the remaining members on here can use what I have placed in here! Every lure I placed have caught me numerous fish and most have caught 4+ lb fish!

I will try and get the package out this afternoon!  Good luck to all, and I hope everyone catches many fish this year!

Jeff

Got the box today. That thing is packed full! First pic is my takes, second pic is puts. I did change my mind about the small plano box; I put it back in. This has been fun, hope to get in on the next one too. I will get it sent out Thursday.

Coming round the home stretch for ya fishn!


fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

Got the box today, will try and get it out soon. I took a few bags of plastics, about 10 cranks, a lure retriever, and the TD-X.

I put about 13 Hardbaits, 2 swimbaits (NOT the Shadalicious type), a bag of Robo Worm Jig trailers, Put in some Culprit? (Think thats the brand) worms. Also I threw in some little hand poured baits I made, just to see if anyone can catch something with them! I believe its 2 frog type lures and 3 Fluke type lures.

Also, Im assuming its alright if my Dad swaps a few too? Jw.


fishing user avatarfishn hard reply : 

Sounds like you got some good stuff out of there.  Dont think its a good idea for your dad to go through the box though.  The rules were only for ten guys and your dad would make eleven.  Its not fair to the guys that I had to turn down.  Next time we do a Lure Swap he's more than welcome. :)

I have several items. Got a brand new Spro BBZ-1 Baby shad that I have never used. H20 Sunfish swimbait that has never been thrown. I have several packages of Rage Tail Shads, Roosters, Eliminators, a new Strike King Sexy Swimmer.....

I know there is more, but I am drawing a blank right now.

Spring is coming. I can feel it. I am tired of reading about fishing and buying lures I don't need, lol. At least trout season starts in less than 30 days!

I was a little shocked at the contents of the box.  NOTHING like last year.

fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

Ill try to hook it up for the last two when I get it. I'll still be adding my pile, regardless that I have accumulated. Mainly all NEW never used stuff.

Well accept a used pair of Maui Jims they were used a little!:)


fishing user avatarchromedog reply : 

River, I am planning on doing the same. I have nothing but brand new stuff is going into the box.  I will take some pictures tonight.

fishing user avatarchromedog reply : 

Hey guys, Sorry about the delay. Didn't get a chance to take pictures until Sunday. Wife dropped package in the mail this morning.

I have pictures of the original contents, then I have pictures of my takes and puts. I was disappointed by the condition of a lot of the stuff. Stuff with rusty and or broken hooks, teeth marks and paint missing. Swimbaits that are torn. Just felt overall that there was a lack of respect and that the condition of the items put into the package didn't match the quality/condition of the items that were being removed. There was a lot of good, cool stuff last year and this year was not the same for sure. I tried to throw more in than I took to help with the situation.

If anyone has any questions on the pictures, ask away.....

fishing user avatarchromedog reply : 

Did the box arrive alright?  What are your thoughts?


fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

Box arrived yesterday.

I will have it back out in the mail after work today or tomarrow in the AM. I nabbed a few things and put in a bunch of NEW stuff. There were a few things in there not really useable and taking up quality space and they got tossed. Sorry I  really couldn't see anybody using them at all.


fishing user avatarchromedog reply : 

Ok, I wanted to make sure I wasn't being over-critical.  I had the desire to throw a lot of it out.  But I figured it wasn't my call.  I know you threw out the bag of poop that was in there.   >:(

But you are right some of it was so bad no one would want it. 

I will say this, looking back through the progression, I can say this much, the person that took the baitcaster, did not did not do the right thing!


fishing user avatar00 mod reply : 

I kinda alluded to this in my post......

That was the mention of NEW things!  Count me out on the rest of these swaps!

fishing user avatarcrankbait2009 reply : 

WOW, i have never participated in a lure swap before and  wasnt sure what to expect.......

this doesnt sound good at all  >:(, i havent recieved the box yet but man, lot of dissapointed members here  :'(

well, hopefully ones in the future are better than this one....... :-/


fishing user avatarchromedog reply : 

I completely understand and know what you mean.  Not fair at all to fishn.


fishing user avatarhookingem reply : 

I've been watching this thread throughout all of its stages, and if you're going to take a reel out of the swap you'd think you would be unselfish enough to at least put something in someone else could actually use.. If you get another one going I'm in! :) I'll start the box if anyone is intersted in doing it again? PM me

I was on board to do the first Lure Swap, but bailed out when the box got "lost". Stuff like this is the exact reason I won't take part in another one.

Sure appears to be that way.

I'm glad I didn't participate in this one.  Lure swaps shouldn't be used as a trash bag to toss in your old, rusted, beat up junk.  If something has been used a few times and is still in good shape, no problem.  Nobody wants an old rusted crank that you found hanging from a tree at the lake.


fishing user avatarStasher1 reply : 

I think, in the future, it should be specified during the initial setup of the Lure Swap that only new lures are to be placed in the box. I don't see anything wrong with the used reels, sunglasses, etc., though.

Sometimes people have different ideas regarding what is, or isn't, "good" condition.


fishing user avatarBassThumb reply : 

Perhaps in the future, there could be a policy where each participant would preferably take pics or at least make a detailed list of the items they are adding and removing, and would post the pics/list in the thread to allow the other participants to either veto or accept the swap. The chance are if you don't know the name of an item, it's not something worth trading. This way, it would be fair and nobody would be allowed to take advantage of the rest of the group, which appears to have happened here.  As well as doing this, the box could also have an inventory list that each participant would edit and sign just to clarify.

BTW, was there really a bag of crap in the box? Let me rephrase that, because it sounds like the box was full of crap. Was there actual feces in the box?

I think the idea to either accept or veto the swap is a great one! Also no not literally crap but an awful attempt at pouring soft plastics is what I saw in one of the pictures. I wouldlike to try and start another one and I would be more than happy to be the person that orignally makes the box. First 10 guys to shoot me a pm are in! :)

Now guys ,we can't let the bad judgement, immaturity, or lack of knowledge of one person derail what could be a promising thing can we? Yes i understand all the things that can go wrong but if you get 10 good, moral people, then they will be able to show a forum of 31000 how great it could be. I am glad to be participating in the next one, i hope to get some things i might not normally be able to get (and put in MORE than i take..remember, its better to give than receive). Sounds like you 2 would be great candidates for the next one. Positive action will always win over negative talk, so i encourage you to step up and participate, and lets redeem the lure swap to give a more positive outlook to those following along as we have. :)


fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

First off on the Daiwa subject, I was under the impression from PMing fishnhard that I could have the reel. I may have misunderstood him, if that is the case fishnhard, please PM me if you want me to send it back to you, or a member after me that wants it. I already took it down, cleaned, and relubed it with Ardent Lubrication. PM me if you want it.

The Things I put :

03132011109-4.jpg

03132011110-1.jpg

03132011116-1.jpg

What I took:

cid__mms_picture_jpg258.jpg

cid__mms_picture.jpg

Also took the Mr Twister grubs and the braid, switched a 360 tackle tray for braid, and Gander Grubs for Mister Twister. 13 Cranks for 13 hardbaits/swimbaits.

I thought we were putting in things we had luck with, and taking things that we thought we could have luck with. And I was trying to diversify my arsenal. I saw things I dont have that look good, so I put in things other people may not have that have worked for me. I've never really bought a bait more than $4. Sorry if you thought my hardbaits were low quality. And yes the top fin of the trout swim-bait is missing. It catches fish though. I didn't think that would be a problem. It does dawn on me now after I sent the box I shouldn't have taken most of the cranks and replaced most of them with my hardbaits. Sorry Guys. my mistake. And also, the handpours WERE NOT going in there to replace anything. I put them in there to see if someone could catch anything on them. If nobody wants em' then trash em'.

And Also I forgot to mention that 3 packs of plastics wouldn't fit in the box to be safe to ship. (2 inch gap between box flaps) So I'll ship those later. Sorry I forgot about those. I'll send them to chromedog, or fishnhard, or the next guy in line.

cid__mms_picture_jpg257.jpg

If your after me and think I left you crap, PM me your address and I'll try and make it up to you with some of the stuff I took you may have wanted.


fishing user avatarnewriverfisherman1953 reply : 

Lets play nice, guys.  I was before BC, and there was a bunch of plastics then that I didn't care for.  Don't mean they are no good.  A swap is a swap.  You take some, you put some.  Try to even it out.  It was my first swap and I enjoyed it.  Wouldn't mind to do another.

I think he should send an ion braclet to everyone on the list after him.


fishing user avatarchromedog reply : 

Not for nothing, but I am sorry, I seen the stuff, I don't buy it.

Here is what I seen based on the items you circled:

Top Waters - beat up, spinners wouldn't spin, rusty hooks

Swimbaits - Trout top fin ripped off, other bait had rips in between the segments

Lipless cranks - beat up, paint missing (1 looked to be a new BPS trap)

Lipped cranks - Not too bad overall, 1 was slightly scratched and the other was a BPS dollar bin lure.

Stick baits - Small Rapala was ok. Other was just stained and scratched.

Btw, I put tape on every single treble hook to make sure things were not ending up in a ball.

Bass Pro shop case was warped and dirty. I actually washed it out as it has soft plastic residue of some kind greasing the whole thing up.

Soft plastics were ok. The culprit worms actually had a watermelon worm in with the pack.

And then there is "missing plastic" that have to be sent out now? I know the box was full. But all you have to do is squeeze the box and tape it shut. Trust me, there was much more in the box last year.

Not really trying to be mean. Just pointing out that I don't think things were done with respect. And definitely not fair to those that started the box.

I'm pretty glad I missed out on this...  Sounds like BC has some growing up to do yet...  You take out new, you put in new.  If you take out a crank that is in good condition you put one back that is in good condition.  A swap isn't something you participate in to get rid of your crap.

I'm pretty glad I missed out on this...  Sounds like BC has some growing up to do yet...  You take out new, you put in new.  If you take out a crank that is in good condition you put one back that is in good condition.  A swap isn't something you participate in to get rid of your crap.

Couldn't agree more!
