HOLIDAY GRAB BAG IDEA

[happyshad]

Wait a minute - I take that back - his wish list is probably going to be pretty expensive! "Rapala Claus" might even have trouble filling that order!

[amemark]

I'm In. This sounds like a good way to share what works for us locally that might transfer to other regions. Central Texas

[007fishfingers]

ok ted im in, sounds good, 007fishfingers, england , uk

I love the idea of international trade, and of one lure being odd, htf, rare, ect. I have a, well, lets call it a stock pile of lures, stuff i have had for a while, so i'm up-ing the ante. all 3 lures i send will be discontinued, or exclusive, or otherwise good stuff. i dont have any picked out yet, so no details, thats the surprise part of the holidays is for. but just putting it out there. anyone else wanna man up.

This is almost up to 20! Looks like a lot more US than overseas - but some pretty "heavy hitters" none-the-less! Again John - great idea!

No worries John - great job with it so far, and I figure we can wait to pull names until Nov 1st, to give some more folks to sign up. If we end up with an odd number I'll sit this one out...

[rattlebattle]

I realize this is my first post, but I'm in if thats ok.

We don't need an even number Ted, we can always have 3 instead of 2.

[happyshad]

Good Idea Osprey

Would hate to leave Ted out!

Unlike many of you, I do not have a stash of Rap's on hand to use for this event. That being said, I would still like to come up with AT LEAST one special/rare/discontinued lure to give away. If anyone has something nice they weren't planning on using as a part of their 3, that doesn't cost an arm and a leg(I only have 2 of each), let me know. Like I said, I am definitely gonna buy something worthwhile for this, so why not buy it from someone here!! I'd rather put my money in the pocket of one of you guys as opposed to someone on Feebay!! Just send me a PM if you have something, or somethings, you may want to get rid of!!

[Fishooked]

Hi everyone!

Glad too see we got some more people to sign up!
Well....if folks cannot come up with something rare/discontinued/special etc to include in their group....then I don't know, do your best I suppose.

Maybe pick out a pricier new model Rapala to include instead, such as a Max Rap, F-18, etc? Just a suggestion.

I think the main point should be to have fun with this and the thrill of not knowing what you're going to get.

[ospreynn]

Ted, just one more thing, they have to be NIB right??

I would have to say yes to that - I mean, if they are older stock lures and they've got store rash I would say that's no big deal. I think the primary focus on this grab bag would be to try to 'wow' the person getting the lures- throw something at them they might not expect.

Lets face it if someone were to send out 3 HJ-6 lures in pedestrian colors that would be kinda lame in my book. Definitely try to include 3 different models and mix up the colors. Personally I'm not sure what I'm going to send yet - it might even include a custom (not sure yet) but if I do it will be top notch to be sure.

Use your best judgement everyone!

[nathenpd]

Ok folks this is the list so far (please check to make sure I didn't screw anything up) - once we have the final tally, I will be posting who you are matched up with ALONG WITH your email address so everyone can get the ball rolling.

I figure posting an email address isn't like posting everyone's home address in this thread, so I think we'll roll with that.
