The Great Plug-Off 2006
 

The Great Plug-Off 2006 Feb, 11th

This year, like last year we will be holding a home built plug contest at PlugFest. Starting today and ending the day of PlugFest, entrants will be stowed away in their man caves hoping to hatch a creation that will take 1st prize. Entries will be brought to plugfest in an unmarked brown paper bag, an unbiased, un-bribed, bipartisan member of our prestigious group here at Striped-Bass.com will be asked to display the plugs in a manner which is fair and just. He will also be asked not to aid in the matching of creation to creator. Voting will be cast on a secret ballot, judged by all of your peers as each attendee will cast a scrutinizing eye on the cache of seafaring wood. Votes will be tallied and 3 top finishers will be selected and awarded. Please find the rules of The Great Plug-Off 2006 below.

1. Each plug will be made out of the wood of your choice, using the method of your choice.
2. Each entry will be made from start to finish by one builder only.
3. All plugs entered will be entered as if ready to fish, hooks and other hardware are required.
4. Voting will begin at 12:00 pm and continue until 1 hour before the close of the event.
5. Each voter will be allowed 2 votes, one for 1st place and one for 2nd.
6. There will be 3 prizes (yet to be determined). We’re going to try and at least match the prizes from last years PlugFest, prize quality is sure to be high.

Don’t hold back fellow builders this event is sure to produce some of the most amazing wood we’ve seen yet. And best of all, if you win, it will justify your obsession with bringing blocks of wood to life. As of this moment, The Great Plug-Off 2006 has begun!

Oops, please use this thread as a sign-up sheet. :smash:

Curious Dave if it is a secret why the sign up sheet?

sitting
 

on a wooden egg.... to see what kind of plug will hatch,,,, ......................:rotfl:

no secret why there is a sign up sheet
we'd like to have some idea of how many entrants so we can easier determine prizes.

I think I meant if they are in a brown bag then why does the people who are entering need to sign up but now I understand. Never mind. Paul

when you arrive and give the bag to someone, they will in turn assign a number to your plug, then keep a log of who's is who's.
I don't know who that person will be yet but Dave will choose someone.

Will the plugs be raffled off like last year?:kewl:

Well... as for raffling off the plugs... I'm okay with it but I had to fight to get mine back. In fact I think I still owe StriperKNight some plugs :hee: I think the top 3 finishers should get their plugs back as part of the prize package?? :huh:

Scott,

I will call ya tomorrow.

I'd throw something in ,,but you've all seen everything I've made and spot it right off..no surprise or wonder who's it is...any suggestion's?

I'm in .... look at that bohemoth plug in the middle,, what that win .. "most likely to hurt somebody" wonder who's the da do that made that...:gf:

It doesn't matter if we know your stuff, you're an exceptional builder and I for one would like to see what you might turn out when you've got 2 months to make something extraordinary...

Steve.. make a sand dollar plug..... u know why :)

I would imagine with your talents, and mind, you will come up with something amazing.

or, you could fool us and make a crappy looking plug, and nobody would guess you made it! :hihi: ;)

I guess I'll give it a shot.:conf:

pooin sanddollars gotta hurt fa shore....two months ta get A plug done:err: it'll b tight.

Steve, it does not matter if others can spot your plug, we all are familiar with each others styles and last year I was able to identify most of them . That is not the point. The point is to join in on the challenge and the fun. You came up with some wild stuff in the past, you certainly can do it again. I know you won't disappoint us.

I'm in

I'm gonna try and make it again if my work schedule permits me too. I had a blast last year. I still can't figure out how a block of wood with hooks got more votes than me in a couple of catagories.:rotf2:
