Anyone have any interest in having a 3-way..... jig swap that is. :D
I have been in a few swaps, but don't fish with the patterns I like the most. They stay at home and I "try" to reproduce them. My copy-cats never look quite the same , so would like to have some originals to fish with. ;) With my idea, you would get 3 jigs of a pattern so you could take 2 on the water and one stay home.
Here is my thought... in a norm swap, I pay for 2 shipped packages, mine going out and all of them coming back. With 3 people, it would still be 2 packages. Swapper A sends his jigs to Swapper B and Swapper C. Swapper B sends to A & C. Swapper C sends to A & B. Does that make sense?
For the jigs... Jigs you would have to tie is 24 total and get back 24. So you would be tying 4 different patterns, with 6 jigs for each pattern. Of those 6, 3 would go to one swapper & 3 to the other. Repeat that in 3 other patterns. You would be sending out 12 jigs total in 4 different patterns to each swapper.
I'm not big on rules, so there really wouldn't be any. :D I do have a request tho... Could one of the people involved tie just one of their patterns a set of micro kip jigs, I suck at them!!!!. But if not oh well!! The other swappers can make a request as well and see if one of the others can fill it. I'm thinking a turn around of a month or two or three, don't really matter.
If this makes any sense at all :eek: and any of you want to get in... WooHoo!!! I'm open to any other suggestions. If no one is interested, just let this thread die. :)
