It also overlooks the real value of plugs, namely that getting a large fish to eat a plug provides a greater sense of accomplishment to many of us than fooling the same (or multiples thereof) fish with bait or lead. Not everyone feels that way, but those that do are happy to have such quality plugs available even at high cost.

George, maybe we are giving you the wrong impression of Jim, he jokes about only needing one plug. He is obsessed with the canal, it's the only place he fishes, I couldn't even get him to go out to Orleans to fish with Stetzko that's how stuck on the canal he is. He really loves the idea of catching large out in the middle down on bottom with a jig and having to fight it to shore. If he were on the rocks at Gay Head or Cutty, I'm certain he would appreciate a wooden plug and all that it can do. I'll see you tom. night
