Tlap and wahlie-
Bringing someones personal budget and employment record into an open forum like this is very, very wrong. You should watch what you say, especially about people you claim to be friends with.
Insinuating that seawolf uses other methods to aquire plugs is also very insulting. I have known him for a long time and that boy has never taken a hand out or gotten anything from anyone that he did not deserve. He works hard for everything he has and never has had a dishonest bone to him.
The price of plugs is steep, but you get what you pay for. I have caught more fish on a $5.00 bomber that any other plug, but if I can afford and think a custom $35.00 plug will bring me luck, then I will pay for it. That is my perogative. We seem to forget that these guys are busting their butts to produce these plugs as a way to pay bills, as a livelyhood in some cases. Last time I looked, there wasn't a custom plug maker I knew driving a mercedes. If the plug builder has to charge $35.00 a plug to put food on the table for his children, then more power to him. If the price tag is too steep, then I guess you'll just have to save up to buy a custom plug. You do not need to use a big dollar lure to catch fish, and there are millions of lures out there that work for a heck of a lot less money. Crying about the price of plugs is pointless, and the last time I checked nobody was holding a gun to anyones head forcing him/her to buy an expensive plug. If the price is too much- don't buy it, or whine about it either.
