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!

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.

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.

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

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!   |

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. |

Screw that. Put a hook on that carved brook trout, enter it, and the rest of us are toast. |

Change is what happens when the pain of holding on becomes greater than the fear of letting go.
