BR Lure Fun?

[Bass XL]

I'll do it. PM me for my address.

[SBM-RL]

I'm in

so if you loose the lure you can use whatever lure you want to keep the fun moving or another of the same excact lure that was lost?

[SBM-RL]

[Jeff C.]

If I read it rite ???

its says, if you lose it..

you replace it with any lure you want ,

is this correct ??

:-?

[Jeff C.]

Bass-in,,

Not sure If I missed this or not,

what type of retrieve are you using with

this rap.

is it a floater,,

or suspender

do you jerk this bait or just reel it back.

for give me, I am a 90 % soft plastic guy..

I also know this bait may never get to me,

but, if it does...

I AM TOTALLY IN THIS SOUNDS LIKE LOTS OF FUN!!!!!

but you will have to wait till late march/ april to send it to me cuz thats when the bite pick up here. PM for address...duh ;D

bass_boys, this is totally the most versatile hardbait ever IMO. you can reel it, twitch it on top, jerk it underneath, anything your heart desires. it is a floating version and it is solid balsa so it floats very fast. it is great for shallow water applications.

For those who have asked about this, yes it is still going on.  The lure was started by Bassn Blvd and his dad who both caught fish with it in Florida and I'm told the lure is currently enroute to mattm in TX.  There were some unforseen circumstances that caused a bit of a delay but hopefully it will pick up a bit.  I will start a tracking log on here later with some info related to it.  

Some of you have asked if you are too late to sign up.  No, it's never too late to "sign up" although there is no list of entrees other than this thread itself.  As far as an order for where the lure goes to next, it is up to the current holder as to who/where he/she sends it, however, I would ask that you use some thought and not send it to a place that is still covered in ice or to someone who has already had their chance.

We never established a period of time that you are allowed to keep the lure before forwarding it, so I'll say here that the general rule is you shouldn't keep it more than one weekend.  When you receive it, please make a post in this thread letting everyone know where it is and then post again when you have forwarded it. It is up to you to get the address of the next recipient.  

Any questions or suggestions for enhancement are welcome.

Good luck to all.

Count me in too, but not till late april, which sounds like what it'll be. I still have ice here.

[Jeff C.]

I recieved the lure on Thursday.  I was planning on keeping the lure for two weekends so I could have a shot with it at Fork, but if everyone agrees that it should be 1 weekend i'll take it to a little pond and send it on.  BTW, my weekends are Tuesday Wednesday.  I work Saturday and Sunday.

[.dsaavedra.]

i think a good time limit on keeping the lure would be something like this:

take it along and fish it a good amount of time on the next fishing trip after you get the lure. if you catch a fish, then send it along. if you dont catch a fish, then take the lure with you on your next fishing trip and fish it a good amount of time again. if still no fish, then just send it to the next person.

how does that sound?

[dumb_dog11]

i think a two week limit will be good

[.dsaavedra.]

yeah two weeks sounds better and alot less complicated than my plan  ;D

[Jeff C.]

I am not sure 2 weeks will work ?

-------

if 20 guys get in on this...just a guess..

each one keeps it 2 weeks..

thats 40 weeks or 10 months ..

plus..

what about shipping time..

3-7 days one way..

now you have maybe 8-12 more weeks just in ship time..

so now it will take over a year to do this ..

----

did I figure that rite ????

help me out here guys.. :-/

---

but ,maybe a year is good..

keep it in the south or west 1st 3 months.

feb,,mar,, april..

then to the north,  6 months.

may,,june,, july,...aug,, sept..oct,,

then back to the south or west

3 more months,

Nov, Dec, Jan..

------

whats your thoughts ????

my thought are i wish i understood what you just said :-?

but i think i understood it and i think it makes sense. ;D

[mattm]

To me a week is a little unrealistic.  What if your not fishing the weekend you get it or weather.  I think two weeks tops is fine.  If you haven't fished in that time you just have to send it on.  Plus, in the event someone recieved it on friday and fished it Saturday they might only have it 2-3 days.  When shipping and 12,000 members are involved you can't hit all them in a year.  No need to limit this little project to a year before we even get started.

VERY well said mattm!

[Jeff C.]

I am cool with what ever gets decided..

its a neat idea..

---

if it gets to where it will take too long for some..

we could,, if needed.. or if even wanted..

just a thought. :-?

--

3 baits could get sent out..all at the same time to different people..

1--hard bait--Rap..

1--spinner bait

1--top water..

or what ever..

-----

it really doesn't matter to me,, it mite be cool to say ..

wow,, I just got the lure from BR Fun that was started 18-20 months ago and its still going on !!!

mite be neat to just keep it going & going & going !!!

---

just thowing Ideas out there..

--

when I get a PM saying that its coming my way, then thats when

I will get ready to fish the bait..

OK...Point taken.  One weekend may not be enough time so lets say two weeks OR whenever you catch a fish with it...which ever comes first.  That should be alright as long as everyone tries to keep it moving.  It needs to stay simple and fun and not get bogged down with too many rules and technicalities so that no one wants to participate.  Fair enough?

Good luck.

thats great!!! different categories!! topwater, spinnerbait, jerkbait, crank, jig. Great idea Jeff

Korea, we sjould start a different thread of only ppl posting that they recieved it, what they caught, and a confirmation that they sent it off.

Then, Mods, could we get a sticky for that previously mentioned post?

Korea. great idea though, love it

[BUCKEYEone]

This whole thread and plan seems to be turning into a puzzle.  I think we go with Mattm and korea_bassin's main objective.  One lure (already out there) to be sent on as soon as you can fish it or two weeks.  Simple.

[Gummybear]

I love this idea. As for sending out other lures, it means that more members will be able to participate in the fun.  

[mattm]

Ok, who wants it?  First one to PM with an adress gets it.
