chefchris Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 So this thread will be for listing all the finished baits for the swap detailing their build specs/hardware/construction and the thread we will be pick our baits on this Sunday. If you have your bait finished please post in the original thread as we've been doing and send me a PM with best picture and build specs and I'll post it here. Everyone who has a bait posted here will be taking part in the swap. I will use a "Random Name Picker" from online, put all the names in, film the outcome (so everyone sees there is no playing favorites) and then we will pick based on that order. Thanks again for everyone that built a bait, attempted to build a bait, followed the thread, played along and made it a pleasurable experience! danthefisherman, Fishfoo, zsneezes and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
