To make it interesting I will post pictures of each jig (jig maker will be anonymous) to be voted by the group for a $25 gift card to Bass pro. Please don’t let this deter you from joining. It’s just for fun.
#1.Jigs-bagged and tagged in 2"x3" jewelry bags
#2.Larger ziploc bag to hold all jigs.
(Please place your name on the bag or box.)
#3.SASE (use stamps- NOT METERED)Do not seal this envelope.
I usually used 6 stamps.
#4.Address the larger envelope with all contents to the swapmeister.
* On each of your jigs, you should attach your name and the name of your pattern, so that all the jigs can be identified by their recipients . The tag should be a tiny piece of paper to which you can impale the hook point. Do not attach tags with strings or wire as untangling a mess of jigs can be a nightmare for your swapmeister.
* Then place your jigs in an appropriately sized container (this container will be returned to you filled with all the treasures from the other swappers). Things to avoid are film canisters, cardboard boxes or any hard breakable plastic boxes. Some swappers may wish to package their jigs in 2x3 individual zip-locks or paper envelopes. That's great, but you have to remember to still include a envelope for the return of jigs that are not packaged in the same manner.
* Now place your filled package in a self-addressed (possibly padded) postage paid return envelope, but DO NOT seal it. Now place your return package in a larger manila or tyvek envelope, address it to your swapmeister and ship it on out before the deadline date.
* DO NOT run your self-addressed postage paid return envelope through a meter (the one where the postage is dated and printed on the envelope). Always use regular stamps. Six stamps should be sufficient to put on your self-addressed postage paid return envelope.
* It would also be a nice gesture to include an extra jig or two for your hard working swapmeister...he will appreciate it!
A few other swap tips:
* If you get overwhelmed and feel you cannot complete the swap, don't feel bad, we all know unexpected commitments arise that prevent us from completing certain tasks. But, please let your swapmeister know as early as you possibly can. It is very possible that he can find a replacement tyer for you and you won't be delaying the completion of the swap.
* Mail out your jigs well before the deadline date. You don't want to be the last tyer to finish and make everyone else wait while you frantically try to finish up!
An efficient swapmeister will keep everyone apprised as to the status of his swap. Expect to receive frequent updates and please let him know how you are coming along if he asks.
If you have a question, don't be afraid to ask your swapmeister. There are NO stupid questions! I’m not taking a slot due to it being my first time being a swap master. I want to make this go off without a hitch. I’m taking care of the people’s choice Bass Pro gift card.
Last, but of the most importance is to HAVE FUN!
