There's no war going on here, atleast I don't think there is, is there?
Charlie is just trying to make a point and voice his opinion of what seems like a short timespan that some go from novice to pro at making plugs. However the learning curve is so varied among people that generalizing is not necessarily fair. It seems Salty spends lots of his time involved in fishing and who are we to say he has only made plugs for 3 months. Krispy, how long did it take Tat to develop those dahtahs? Long time, huh?That is one plug that is time consuming. Some guys already are businessmen and selling plugs would just be another interest so they know some of the important things already about selling products., ofcourse if it's not really making money then it's more of a hobby and the IRS will look at it that way if no profit is shown after a certain number of years, just ask your accountant.
Ther are a lot of professionals out there, too many to count. Fishing tackle is big business, and these fishing forums make it known that lots of us obsessed fishermen and women are plug-a-holics, we can't get enough., gotta have some of everything for all the different situations. It would be too simple and unchallenging if 1 plug worked everywhere for all situations. So that is why there's romm for everybody to try and sell their wares.
I don't know where I'm going with this but who cares anyway.
It's a tribute thread to OJ, let's get back on track. He is the one who first posted a cup o needles
and I'm sure he's flattered by others using that idea.
BM, what are you gonna do with thousands of plugs anyway?
Krispy, come out from under that rock
