COPIED FROM THE FIRST PAGE SO IT IS EASIER TO FIND:
"JOHN (jmcfish10101) Started this last year and had mentioned starting it again this year - I thought it would be a good idea to start a new thread (instead of wading through 4 pages from last years) but credit still goes to JOHN, aka: jmcfish10101973
RapalaNation Members Exchange 3 lures with another member.
Pairings will take place @ November 1st.
3 lures should be New in Box, Hard to Find, Discontinued, etc.( Unless of course, that you and your trading partner worked out something diferent - like a coffee cup, key chain, custom painted, Giant Rapala, rare with no box, etc.)

OK everybody - time is getting thin. First of next week we'll turn this over to Ted and have him pair up RapalaNation Members.
You still have time to GET ON THE LIST! This was great fun last year and will be again this year!
Thanks so far to all that signed up!

You are in shadrap712. Welcome!
Still time to get in - we might need to be cool and start around mid Nov when the stuff out in the Northeastern U.S. gets taken care of.

All,
Sorry I have not had the chance to reply to this - it looks like we have 27 people so I will take my name off the list. I am hoping to complete the pairings by this weekend and update this thread and then send out an email.
Once again all, sorry I haven't been around to help, as I've been busy helping others through this Hurricane Sandy mess.

All,
Ok, below are the pairings for everyone - there was really nothing scientific about the matchups - I essentially did this all at random.
I will also be sending out an email site update so that everyone will know the matchups have been set! Please get in touch with your partner and exchange addresses asap! (I hope I spelled all of these right!)
If anyone has any questions, please let me know!

Also if anyone needs someone's elses email address...I can get it. Even though some email addresses may be hidden from view publicly, I don't think anyone would mind if I looked some up in order to get this moving for everyone....  |

I think I burned (Rapalanation Exchange 2012) ... My exchange partner thebosst127 was gone as soon as we exchanged addresses ... Once I told him that I sent a parcel to him, he disappeared like old money ... I wrote to him four - five times, did not even read the messages ... Too bad the good wobblers which I sent it to him Rural tricks  |

Received my package from Honkamaa yesterday!! I have tried in vain to get a pic on here but I guess I'm just an idiot when it comes to technology. I will continue to try, but in the meantime...
He sent me a Super Shad Rap in Peacock bass, a SRRS-7 with SUOMI on the side (blue head white body), a SSR-8 and I don't know the color but I really like it! (gold mirror finish with red under chin and darker gold with specs across back). Bonus stickers with knot instructions and a fishing magazine. (I can't read it, but I like the pictures.) I only hope that Honkamaa likes what I sent as much as I like what he sent. This is great, I hope this tradition continues. Fantastic idea John. Thanks for making this happen again happyshad & Fishooked.

Tracking nomer : RI076899005BG tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction.actionThis is the name of that which had to exchange, or rather give him three baits - theboss127 |
