Jig Swaps

[Kdog]

For some reason I offered to help with the Jig Swap board and my offer was accepted so I am now an additional moderator of the Jig Swap board. Personally I get excited about jig swaps and cannot wait for the next one. I get a lot of great ideas from each batch of jigs.

Keeping that in mind, I have a number of questions bouncing around in my head and eventually want to do a poll to see what we can do to make the swaps fun and improve participation.

Right now, I am asking for input/ideas of what you the participants would like to see to accomplish the following:
* More participation
* Time duration of swaps
- Sign up period?
- Ship Date in relation to close of sign up?
- Time Between Swaps?

Please a few minutes and let me know what you would like to see. After receiving input, I will do a poll to try to lock things in place.

I like many here have a limited time in the summer, And mines not out fishing but I enjoy the swaps and plan to make time for each one that comes about regardless of the season or whats going on.

An occasional update on where things are at might be a keep us in the loop plus. I don't have any issues with time frames or even things being sent out on a delay it's just nice to know the scoop from time to time. My biggest thing is remembering if I tied the darn things and sent them in "yes it really is getting that bad". I had to check again today reviewed my post to remind me again, fear not it's a genetic gene in my family, we worry about everything, esp the lies told about the bigger than normal fish we catch. . Might be a nice motivator if there is a check list, just to check once in a while as to who has sent, in who is not, who's on the list, and where the process is at, etc etc. I know a few years ago I had a small bb and it allowed me to put a new ticker on the pages I wanted, not sure if that's an option or not just an idea. Something like that might keep a reminder going to spark more interest.
I've often thought that tying as a group, and then send to a group of kids or fisher persons and have a contest on which jig catches the most might be fun, not sure how easy that would be to pull off however. Something like send your top ten jigs and let them draw names. I enjoy getting jigs from all involved and want to continue, just thinking a contest like that once a year might endure more competitiveness/bragging rights between tiers on this bb. :beat-up: Plus it gives a kid a chance to catch and learn a new way of fishing that they might not otherwise get.

Just a few thoughts. Bo

I'd love to be more involved, but with two jobs, two small kids, and always a jig order or two waiting..... "Free time" for things like swaps is insanely limited right now.

I really don't see anything wrong with the jig-swaps here. When I have time I sign up and if to busy I don't sign up.

After looking at the swap that is now in process I see that it may be running slow, hope things work out.

I also don't see anything wrong with the way there run. If I have time I'll get in.

I'm good with the way things are going now.

Participated in a few since I've been on the board along with a few others on other boards, and its always interesting to see what other's make. Some real artists on this board.

Due to timing & the scope of the jig the person doing the swap wants, I don't participate in every one.
