[QUOTE=Clogston29;542848]supply and demand

The demand for plugs is more a demand to add something to a collectiom not a demand for something to strictly catch fish with. I am willing to bet that a black gibbs danny will catch just as many fish as all these pretty black silver purple green, scales, floreascent with glow in the dark eye plugs will. BUt for some reason people have an obssesion with theses peices of wood that are supposed to be used to catch fish. Now they are looked at as artwork and collectors items. If the demand was purely fishing related you would not see prices so high. Do you think a fish can tell the difference between a Beachmaster danny that is black or one that is black with scales??
