The price is set by O.P.E.C. (Organization of Plugbuilders Enterprise Coop) They meet once a year and in their infinite greed will set whatever price they feel the market will bear. We are at their mercy.
Actually I think when you consider the amount of work involved in a custom plug compared to production plugs that are approaching $16.99 retail, you are truly getting your moneys worth and then some. They should be more like $25- $30.00 each.
Plastic injection molded stuff which I know for a fact costs about .40 cents to produce overseas is the real question esp. when you shell out $14.99+ for one of them fancy yashizukimoto swimmers that don’t swim anywheres NEAR as well as wood. And wood smells great when properly trashed.
