I disagree with the first part. I don't think a master necessarily has to be able to make a variety of different types of plugs. You hit the nail on the head with the second part: being able to design a unique plug that catches. Its easy to clone an existing design, a lot harder to examine the local bait, figure out how it swims, transfer that to wood so it works in the conditions present, and have it work.
