The Lure Swap to set the record straight.

[slonezp]

Guess Luke took the sebile and the craw bait. The yellow one belongs to Hookingem just giving the heads up.

The sebile is in there. The craw could have been in there and I missed it.

Another swap gone bad , what a shame.

The swap hasn't gone bad and it sure as hell went better than the last one.

Also, why are you even posting in here? You didn't participate in it, so it really has nothing to do with you.

You aren't contributing by saying the swap went bad. JMO.

At first i wasn't gonna comment on any of the goings on about this , just follow it to its conclusion, but after it has eatin at me over the weekend i gotta say my piece. First it was great to participate in, i had a great time doin it and would do again. I caught the biggest bass i have ever caught at my home lake on one of the lures i got from the swap(thanks fishin hard it was the chartreuse and black H2O).

Based on the thread here's what should be going to hookinem.... 3 packs of Trokar hooks,zoom plastics(that hookinem origanally put in),bomber long A, natrual IKE, 1 pack YUM money minnow,SK sexy shad swim jig, Rage Chunk,soft plastic spiders, H2O jerkbait, storm split tail minnow, 1 revolution shad, storm swim shad, 1 MonteSS chatterbait black/blue, Sk 6xd,senkos,LC red craw, LC black yellow, sebile,zoom fluke,rage craws,lc pointer,lipless cranks(type unknown), chigger craws,plastic worms(type unknown), zara spook, and gamakatsu hooks.

Now Luke, if you're wondering why you are being questioned, its because you have conflicting statements in your post ,

I got the box last week. It got shipped off to sloanezp yesterday. I didn't inventory takes or picks, because I haven't been following the thread. I only took two lures though, and replaced with some havoc baits, couple lipless cranks, and some plastic worms. Kind of disappointed at the selection I got (it was mostly plastics, and I don't need any more). I thought it was a "lure" swap.

You don't need to follow the thread to post takes and picks. It was supposed to be part of the courtesy extended to the 10 people associated with this swap. You are the only one that failed to do so. Also you stated that there were a lot of plastics ,but you took out 2 hard baits and put in....PLASTICS?? How can you complain about to many plastics and then contribute to the number that was in there. And yes i know you put some lipless cranks in there too. This is a "lure "swap and plastics last i recall were fishing lures.

I took a Japanese topwater popper (bass pattern), a 3" swimbait (white with black spots and a black back), and I took a bag of electric blue worms. Like I said, there wasn't much in the box that I was interested in... I'm not a liar or a thief. Also don't accuse me of taking something that I didn't take.

This was not in your original post, how come you didn't mention it before? And i thought you had enough plastics? So from my estimation you took a $20 pop max bait, $10 Storm magic swimmer(im guessing on this one) and a $5 bag of culprit worms. Then you put in $3 havoc baits, Plastic worms(guessing $5?) so to be fair the lipless cranks should be worth at least $22. After all we did state before hand that , respectfully , people should put in dollar wise as much as they took out. If that's the case then good for you , but your lack of information and conflicting statements leads us to believe otherwise.

This lure swap was not about trading up. Its about getting lures you wouldn't normally get or be able to get and trying new things. If you came into this swap with the intention of profiting off trading lures, then you had the wrong mindset to begin with.

Last but not least, anyone not associated with this swap is entitled to there opinion, but negative comments will only lead to more negative comments and that's not what this thread was supposed to be about.

I'm with OHIO on this one why are you here?

The swap hasn't gone bad at all the box is on track and everything seems to be accounted for.

Ok so maybe the contents weren't as nice as we had hoped at the end but we can't blame anyone for that because we all added to it. Besides I want to see the finale tally to make a judgment on the contents of that box.

For myself I'd do it again, and I think hookingem and the the rest of the guys who participated did a D*** fine pass.

So Wolf if you don't mind go find some other thread to be Dr.Doom-and-gloom on and leave this one alone.

I got Montes last two chatter baits, thats why the yellow/black LC is reserved for hookingem.

Capt. O and ima bass ninja you guys awesome! I really feel like everyone who participated did an awesome job. Luke in no way was I trying to jump on your back, but it was clearly stated to document your takes/picks, and you failed to do so. I would love to do another swap with you guys (maybe over winter)? I hope everyone enjoys the lures they received, and slays em' on their new goodies. I truly just wanted to do this to contribute to the community that has contributed vast amounts of information to me. I will document the boxes ending contents when I receive it. Thanks to all!

Thanks everyone for doing an awesome job on this lure swap and setting the record straight in such an epic fashion. I hope everyone enjoyed it, and is up for another one. Truly the only problem I can say we even remotely had was one LC going "missing" which is no big deal at all. I hope whoever has it slays the big girls on it. Thanks once again for your participation.

[Captin Obvious]

Wow that box did have some good stuff in it at the end.

When is the next one?

Capt.O

[chromedog]

Nice job, for the most part. At least there were no bags of poop this time, lol. People may complain that there wasn't much in there, but it looked like everyone for the most part got the idea this time around. If you would of seen the last box, you would lose your mind.

I look forward to the next one. But I absolutely believe that if you are going to participate, you list your puts and takes and take a picture. Great job guys. Way to set the record straight.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I can see where Grey Wolf is coming from. If you don't want comments from others, why not handle this lure swap via PMs? By posting this in an open forum, you have to expect that others will follow what's going on and comment when they feel they have something to say.

Just my $.02

[slonezp]

My only complaint was I was hoping for more than a box of plastics. Glad you're happy with your take AJ. Now go catch a bass on that Spook. It's got Jimmy Houstons signature on it so it must be good

[brushhoggin]

lol everyones mad. i'm with grey wolf. he's here because he's a member here and has every right to read whatever thread he wants. i didn't see anything negative with his post, in fact it was straight truth and the truth will make you angry sometimes. there's always going to be people who either don't see eye to eye with you or are always looking to take advantage of someone else so i know it's easy to pick on the neutral guy when you don't know who to blame.

well crap, by the time i could type this up, everyone was cool again.

I'm seeing accusations flying, name calling, and general dissent. All of these end the same. Keep it civil on the boards, please.

[Nick Johnson]

i like this idea i read a few of the past swaps and its hecka neat i would like to be a CONTRIBUTOR at some point on one of these!

[Bassn Blvd]

This game reminds me of the one we did on here several years ago. I mailed out 1 lure. That person fished it for a week and forwarded it to the next and so on. After a year or so, I got the original lure back. The lure was fished in several states and a couple countries.

I still have the lure and refuse to fish it. I sure wish there was a way for the mods to find the old posts so I could make a nice plaque/article out them.

Now this right here is AWESOME! It'd be cool to have one lure and have someone fish it and catch one nice fish on it and send it on. Especially if it was a topwater or something that caught multiple species. Bassn Blvd- thats an awesome treasure as I'm sure you know!
