My original post about having all the tools and still spending a fortune is true. As most of the guys have stated, TIME is the major factor but also plug building supplies are going to cost you some money. Do you want to buy one piece of wire for $1.00 or will you buy 100 for $20.00? Those $20.00 bills add up fast.
I could show you reciepts this year alone for well over a thousand dollars worth of just material. No tools. An example would be every color of createx paint is going to cost around 3 or 4 dollars to get a 2 oz. bottle. Spray cans are not cheap either.
I suppose you could save money if you cut a broomstick and attach hooks but plug building is a major addiction and those are usually expensive. This is not meant to sway you away from this great hobby. It's just a fair warning that saving money is not realistic. With all that said, GO for it. It will add a whole new dimension to your fishing experience!
