I work in Education and this whole discussion reminds me of the one thing I abhor about educators. They form committees to form committees. Let's let this years organizers set the day and we all live with it. Simple I know but it works.  |
Why even try.........

Whaaaat!!!!? Well that shoots my plug outa the water. I guess I gotta go to something else now.  Commitee rule. |

I think there should be tests on Paint Adhesion, Sealing, Tail loops
the whole part of building is being lost, sure a plug can look real nice and all but how good is it if it soaks in water and cracks or all the paint comes off after the first few casts, or even the tail loop opens when you have a fish on/ or is loose and spins while retrieving

Bob, it's Plugfest not Underwriters Labaratories. I guess we just have to take some things at face value. Anyone that knows plugs knows a good tail loop or can smell the feint trace of sealer. It would get too weird ( not that getting a bit weird isn't a good thing).
Simple rules and good fun is all. |

You're getting cranky from all of those years working in Education. Something I abhor about educators - most of 'em never worked in the real world - Anyway 
How's this?
Three Classes:
Best FISHING Plug - Including Classics, Innovative, Serious plug for the art of fishing. Sub category Best Plug, Most Artistic, Best Classic, Most Innovative?
Novice (less than 2 years building?) - Something to welcome some of the newer builders. Sub category Best Plug, Best Paint, Best Classic
Novelty - Anything legal and mostly ethical (that won't make a 14 year old blush).
Similar to last year, anonymous drop off, High Twinkie Factor, (auction is up to you guys, it does help the site but it is not required - entirely up to you all).
Prizes will be light but respectable - figure a gift certificate or two for supplies and DZ had a very generous offer for some NPTSRFCSTN
Ronnie - anyone is welcome, except Raider fans   ....

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Bruce,
That ballot looks good... I think that makes sense.
-Dave
Tatbob-- Have you REALLY had a tail loop open up??? That's either a HUGE fish or a REALLY bad wrap.
