You know, after building my own for these many years, I think plug prices ( directly from outlets like tackle shops and retail stores not flea bay or BST Forums) are actually fair.
When you figure the cost of making them in time, materials, legal coverage and other business expenses and most importantly the thought of being in the business to make at least a small profit and based on todays costs for all of the previously mentioned they are pretty much right on target.
I really have no problem with paying the freight for todays wooden plug builders models.
Procuring the materials and then building the plugs is a lot of work and time consuming.
My hat is off to these guys, I couldn't do it. I get frustrated building 20 or 30 a year.
