Heres the question. Why No hooks and no eyes from the manufacturer? Hopefully its not an attempt to find a loophole in the F.E.T,cause there are no loopholes. A lure co.here in Belmar NJ tried that a while ago, not sucessfully I might add.
Other than that little mystery, I think its a great plug.

Tinman 10x odds says it's a attempt to skirt LIABILITY.....wonder how many lure guys out there have insurance to protect themselves from some person hooking themselves in an eye etc etc.
I considered hookless a while ago too because of this stuff. But I just said eff it and added a second business policy.

As for the plugs, I LOVE Beachmaster Dannys - haven't tried their darters yet. As for hookless, with more than a few people I've talked to, they ship 'em that way because the fella that buys these things (and other high end plugs) tend to want to customize them and outfit them the way they like. Yeh - a few years ago I freaked out when I first started buying the dannys for more than I was spending on other "production" swimmers which had hooks but they weren't the run of the mill dannys available then. The typical person spending twenty+ smackers on a plug is often looking beyond the "stock" plug and wanting to tweak a bit. Someone might want a VMC, someone might want a HD Mustad, somone might want a trebble in back and some might want a holographic, mylar-tinseled, dipped in squid stripped juice single-siwash. The people buying these aren't going to Ocean State Job lot to buy tackle. You two certainly know that.
