Put 3 - 5 plugs in your bag and learn them well. Don't even think about any other plugs you own. Know exactly when and how to use them. Learn when not to throw each plug, not just when you should throw each one. As you learn this batch of plugs, you can add in one for each one you take out based on what you have already learned. One of the worst things I see new guys doing is going into the surf with a huge bag stuffed to the gills with plugs. I used to be very guilty of this myself. As my fishing knowledge has developed, I have learned to only pack the plugs which will work under the variables at hand. You'll do yourself far more good down the road by this techinque than you ever will by bringing every plug you own, "just in case". How many times has a certain plug gone along for night after night of romantic seaside walks without so much as getting wet? What good did that plug do you? I say start off with less plugs and only add in more as you see they are needed based on what you have learned form the other plugs you allready carry.
