Hoosier Paddler's Best Dang Tackle Box

Ok Gang, time for my annual Best Dang Tackle Box speech :soapbox:

. As most of you know, we have been having the BDTB raffle since the very first Classic. It was devised as a way for everyone to contribute and create an amazing prize. The thought was that is everyone contributed their favorite go to lure, we would end up with the Best Dang Tackle Box around. It has been a huge success and it is a lot of fun to be a part of. Here is how it works. At the Captains Meeting or the Award Banquet, bring a new in the box lure that you use to catch fish. You will be given a raffle ticket and the prize is given away at the Banquet. Please remember the spirit of this prize. I will not allow you to turn in something that is not new and in the box. Also, you will not be allowed to turn in anything that is in your captain’s bag. Remember I helped pack those things so I know what is in there! It is not that there isn’t great stuff in the bags, but it keeps us from having too many of a certain lure in the bag! Last year we had approximately 125-150 lures in the bag. Let’s make this years bag the best yet!
