OK folks so we are ready to get this show on the road. I received the last of the lures yesterday. So here's our line up of lures.Clock wise from upper left...Chartreuse Rooster Tail (sorry not sonic)
Solvkroken Lure (all the way from Norway - thank you Andy)
Rapala Jointed J7 Floating Lure (from DIED's collection, thank you Dave)
"Condello Jig (from DIED's contest winnings, thank you again Dave and also Bruce)
"Road Runner" (custom made by George, yes you read that correctly, custom made by George, many thanks George) :
For those of you that are unsure as to how to properly use the Solvkroken, I have provided a copy of the instructions:
And finally here is a shot of the lures in the box (the box will be finished with felt inside, I just put in a piece of paper to show off the lures):
So I'd like to start the sign up process as soon as possible. I figure if I can get the lures shipped out and to the first person on April 7t or 8th then we can have two recipients in April. I think it will be a first come first served on date selection.
Any volunteers to help coordinate sign ups? I'm having trouble finding much free time to mess with this right now (imagine that given tax season). What I was thinking is that we would kick off sign ups on Monday April 5th at a certain time. I'm envision just a list of dates (in 10 day increments) and people can sign up for a certain date by posting to a sign up thread. Where I need the help is for someone (anyone?) to take over this sign up process and "award" the dates and keep track of the calendar (at least during April). For instance I'm envisioning the first dates to be:
Saturday April 10th through Tuesday, April 20th.
Two days to ship,
The second dates would be Thursday, April 22 through Monday, May 1st.
Two days to ship...
You get the idea. As soon as we have our first recipient signed up then I'll ship the lures.
I'm going to reserve the last period in May (what ever the dates will fall) for DIED, DWIED, JWHAP and myself. We are going to get all four of us done in one 10 day slot.
So can I get a volunteer to help with the calendar???
