Siebert Outdoors reply :

Thanks for drawing the names Whittler

harshman reply :

Thanks for the work that went into the swap guys. I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I can't wait to hear from Munkin. Is everybody gonna post what they get? I think that would be a great idea to promote our fellow tackle junkies.

Harshman

Siebert Outdoors reply :

I think that would be cool if everyone posted what they got.

SwampMan reply :

Maybe we could post pictures of what we are sending out? Or receiving.

Fishin49er reply :

I want to thank you guys, GMAN and whittler, for coordinating this. I think it will be a big hit and a lot of fun. Posting pictures of what we recieve is a great idea.

Daren reply :

This is what I am sending WCCT when he gets me his address. I just made it yesterday. It is curly maple that I dyed. I could not get a decent picture of it, in person it looks really cool. That is just the way curly maple is, there is a whole world of grain that a picture cannot capture. The figured grain looks totally different from any angle, like 3D.

SwampMan reply :

I'm sure anyone would be pleased with that nice lookin lure! Great Job!

Triton21 reply :

Fishin49er and Bassmachine will be recieving the following lures from me in the swap. 1, 1/2 oz Buzzbait, 1 Marabou Spinn, 1, 1/16 oz jig, 1, 1/8 oz jig, 1, 3/8 oz jig, all weedless ball head with Owner hooks. 1, 1/4 oz weedless football jig with Owner hook.

These are the same lures I made and sold under the name TOP SHELF LURES in the '90s untill 2002 to pay my tournament expences. The Marabou Spinn was named in a Smallmouth tail spinner article in the Feb. 2000 BASS Magazine. The Buzzbait was revolutionary in the mid '90s when I developed it. The hook moves like the "Leverage Buzzbait" but it is attached derectly to the wire instead of being on a cable. I had it in bait stores 3 years before the "Leverage" came on the market. Hpoefully I have attached pictures to this poat. It is my first trying to attach a picture.

ominousone reply :

is this thing going to continue? Are we only doing one round? I know that dink and I have already sent our items and are eagerly awaiting them from our postoffices. After that I know that it's going to be like christmas is over, I'd like another round or to even trade with all parties that have been on here. So is there going to be round 2? 3? more?

Thanks and I'll be looking forward to hearing everyone's experiences

Siebert Outdoors reply :

Chris, was a tough one. Chris makes it all. I mailed him out a bunch of hand made jigs the other day. He might even get them today. I shipped him my favorite colors, along with some shakey heads that I made up too. Hope he likes them and wins some tourneys off them.

Triton21 reply :

Got 2 beautiful spinnerbaits and 2 super nice jigs from BASSMACHINE today. I hope he is as well satisfied with the swap as I am. He should have got his from me today or no later than tomorrow.

Kelley

guest reply :

Received 3 chatterbaits, well these baits are way above the standard chatterbaits in strength of design, hook and overall finish, these are made like they should be. Thanks Mike great looking baits.

Thats mikesluckylures.

BASSMACHINE reply :

Received my lures from triton21 and they are sweet! The owner hooks that he used on those jigs are perfect! And the one jig must be 1/16oz I will be busting the bass on that in the local pond, and the buzzbait has a free swinging hook design. That is pretty cool wish I would have thought of that myself! I am very statisfied! It is nice to see how many members are making there own! Here is a Pic of what he sent me. They are nice!

Nick reply :

Hope there is a round two! Sorry, I was absent for a year! I sold a walking topwater that I made personally, and would love for you fellows to catch a big un or two on my topwaters!

Nick reply :

Whittler, I'd trade with all the guys posted. I still have a few of my walking wooden topwaters that do catch lots of bass. Please sign me up if there is to be another bait trade!
