Didn't Flap basically do just that? He took a plug, be it was a classic old plug, but stripped it down and refinished it. I think what Frank is doing is the same thing pretty much, No? IMO if he states that is what he did I see no problem. You just wouldn't put it up against a completely, from scratch, fabricated plug. I really do think we need to have specific categories for the entries, not too many but a few. Some people get up tight about this stuff. Personally i could care less and do it for the fun but others get really serious about the competition part and if it is going to be serious i think we need specific guide lines so there will be no complaining after the fact. Just my 2 cents and if you need someone to draw up these specific rules I will volunteer and if you think there are enough rules in place now than I will shut up. Like I said I don't care about the brass ring I just like to see the plugs and do it for the fun of it.

Since last years PlugFest was the starting point for me to actually get motivated and build my own plugs I will only be in one category.

Perhaps anybody can enter, they give all the plugs to me, I fish them for a season, and I let everybody know who the fish picked as a winner the following year?

It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

Brass ring? I thought we were playing for twinkies.

George, from your pics, you could make anyone's plug a star.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Plugfest

I would have gotten back sooner on this post, but I keep going by NEBE's Car Wash and come unglued, and lose myself.

I appreciate all the response to this post. Larry sent you a PM.

I think it was smart of me asking before I just showed up with a plug and plopped it on the table.

Tagger thanks for the parts offer, but I have most of the stuff. Many different lips, weights, and all the other stuff. Appreciate the kind offer.

Never a big fan of the contests.....always turns into some pissing contest! The only contest I like is the one with myself! And I always win! You can keep the contests.......I will be there but could care less about them!
