Other than the weight, which is nice, why would I expect to pay $20 over a $6-7 Megabait thats 1 3/4oz

Bernzy, since you say you fish these....what makes them stand ABOVE the rest??

Bloo, There are several things about these plugs that I think sets them apart from other similar style lures.
1. The profile is larger ( back to belly ) than similar length plastic baits, which imitates more closely the bigger baitfish species in the northeast.
2. The action falls somewhere between the tighter wiggle of a Bomber or a Mambo and the exaggerated waggle of Pikie type plugs which is unique, IMHO.
3. The wood constuction (on the ones we have) gives it greater buoyancy than plastic, allowing you more flexibility when working the upper part of the water column.
4. The hardware is heavy duty, thru wire, 4X vmc trebles and HD split rings.
5. The paint and finish are second to none.
6. They catch fish

Hab's also has fished these plugs, so he may chime in with his thoughts.

The lexan lips are .175" thick and are epoxied.

BLOO, THESE BAITS are bigger than average BOMBER style plugs they are as close to real size herring as you can get in a PLUG of that style. I like how they SWIM and are a TOP QUALITY PLUG. If you want big this is them. WOULD the HAB GUY STEER YOU WRONG................;)
