The guys who have labored at making their own plugs can understand why the custom wood plugs are so expensive. It's labor intensive and takes a real skill to make a plug that swims right and catches fish. I've made my own and figured that I spent enough on one to buy several made by the real craftsmen on this site. You really can appreciate what these guys are doing. I will spend good money on plugs that really catch my eye, but I also use knockoffs that cost $6 to $8 that catch just as well (usually after having a $20 plug cut off by a blue). The lure is important, but the person using it has to know what they are doing if they are going to catch fish.
