How about a blend of both worlds? What I mean is continue with the Crappie
Swap only one for each month. Tyers would be limited to the swap meisters
criteria for size, weight, color, whatever and also how many. This must be a Crappie jig swap and the designated swap meister has to post when sign up
will start.

Then perhaps on a seperate forum have an unlimited amount of swaps
but very specific as far as for example: smallie swap, trout swap, bluegill swap, redear swap or as Atticafish mentioned a wife swap, although my wife didn't think too much of that one.:p Also specific size, I realize a 1/100 oz jig would not be for smallies. I also realize that all jigs at any time can catch any fish, but you know what I mean. This would accomplish several things. Any tier would
only have to wait and pick his swap preference if he missed the once a month Crappie swap. However he or she wouldn't have to wait a month and possibly miss it again as there would be another swap of some kind coming up.
This wouldn't solve the issue of drop outs or short number of jigs sent, but I
feel that issue is based on moral and ethics or sometimes just a mistake. These unlimited swaps could have a limit of ten or twelve tiers because there could be several going on at the same time.
This whole issue is a result of CDC growing in popularity and will continue.
I think the whole concept of swaps is a fantastic idea whereby newbies, vets.
and inbetweeners can learn, laugh(jig names) and share with each other
across the entire nation. After all folks, we're all adults here and instead of bickering about swaps let's solve it. I understand both sides of the issue as
I have been too late and missed out and also ran a parallel swap to compensate for it. I believe they both worked well and no one was left out.
We all fish for more than just crappie, at least I do, so rather than worry about how to restrict it, let's open it up a bit.
