I've been on swaps where we agreed to tie 5 patterns... so if this were the case here... and we had 15 committed tyers... the you would tie 14 jigs of each pattern (that's 70 jigs total!!)... but you get 70 new jigs!!! See how it can all add up??!

So i'd recommend starting out slow and build it up as the tyers see fit!

Can't wait to get this one started!!!

Fish On Y'all!

FB... hope that swap description was of help! i learned a lot of good lessons from 'radtexan'!!

**AWMiller** · 10-09-2008, 08:41 PM

OH!! On the swaps that I've been a part of... we'd all tie up a few extra goodies for the swapmeister to keep!! Our way of saying 'thanks' for all his/her efforts!

AWMiller Welcome to the swap. For this swap I was thinking about just tying 1 pattern, then maybe we can follow that up with another swap.

**AWMiller** · 10-09-2008, 09:16 PM

Thanks so much! And yes, I wholeheartedly concur... when just starting out, keep it simple and get folks involved and having fun and then build upon it!!

The only difference Alan, is if we have 14 tiers you'll tie 14 jigs.You will get one of your own back,but its much easier on the swapmiester to get everyone a complete set.Trust me !!!!
