Ok, thanks to our friends at Okuma I have a few goodies to give away and what I think will be a pretty fun way to do it. Here's the deal...

You post a picture of your most beat up swimbait or trout plug. I'm going to rate the pics based on the most horridly chewed up lures. Points will be given for teeth marks and fishing wear and tear. Points won't be given if it looks like you left the bait on your deck in the sun for too long. I'll pick the winners and the best pics in each category will win an Okuma sweatshirt and hat, as modeled here (girls not included).

The contest runs until Sunday August 5, 2007 at noon Pacific Time.

Whether it's a swimbait or a trout plug is determined by the review pages. Meaning that these are trout plugs:

and these are swimbaits:

7 Inch baits or larger only. If your bait isn't in the review pages, I'll assign a category to it as soon as you post.

Calfishing moderators and admins are not eligible but can post their pics if they like. I hope we'll get a shot of Nico's retired 9" Slammer!

When the contest is done, I'm going to make a new photo gallery for chewed up baits. Maybe we'll call it the sand lot :)

Here's a pic of my first Hudd to get it rolling:

Let's see those teeth marks.
