| Ok, since I got the ok to try to organize a group buy, I wanted to gauge interest. Basically, the grub in question is the Blue Pearl Big N Grub. The issue is that they are only sold in boxes of 50, and this color only made once a year by the manufacturer. It's not a color I've seen anywhere, but I have some use for it (but not 50 of them).
For a picture here is a link:

I am NOT in the business of making money on this (I will pay my fair share of grub cost, i'm not going to break even and get free grubs either), but if there is enough interest I'd be willing to split this box with a "smallish" group of guys. I talked to manufacturer today re pricing. VERY roughly, I'm thinking by the time i bag, box, and ship a "lot of 5" grubs, we'd be somewhere around $18-$20 per lot.
I'm not interested in shipping out 20 boxes of 2 grubs and keeping 10 for myself. So, let's say minimum quantity of grubs is "Lot of 5", which means I need 8 guys max. If you want more grubs in a pack, please post you want to 8 or 10 in your lot (it's just math 5 x 8guys, 8 x 5guys, 10 x 4 guys), and I'll Pm a recalc'd estimate of price). If i have to take <10 to accommodate a few lots of 8, I'm flexible.
If you are interested, please post in this thread. I have ZERO idea what the interest will be, but if it's large, I will do it first come first serve.
EDIT: Serious interest only. We'll do transaction via Paypal Gift.

Location: Aurora | Agreed, if no one's interested in the bulk buy on grubs, Boggs is yer man and might even have the big-n's in-house.
Check his work here if you're so inclined http://boggscustomlures.blogspot.com/

| Ok, I got swamped at work and forgot about this. I didn't get enough people, but I AM forging forward for those of us here, and a few friends, who really want this color. There are still some available, so please pm me or respond to this if you are interested in 5 grubs.
It's going to be about a month before the "once a year" run of this color is done, so we're looking at April. (I guess they use this one for Halibut and Ling Cod out in Alaska, and that season begins next month or something along those lines).
