I'd have to say 20 per year, even though I use eels and cheap bombers or sluggos the most. I like to support Bigfish Larry, Salty, Afterhours, Surf Asylums, Habs, RMs, etc., and the other plug makers at the shows I attend, as well as some of the local B & Ts. The craftmanship is a joy to behold, but I find myself afraid to use them is some areas where loosing them is easy (too much structure or heavy weed areas). I have no intention on selling these and hope to use all of them over time or pass on to friend and my kids.
After attending the Dadfishermans tutorial for the kids with the PI club, I finished one with my daughter that I was able to catch some large blues with, and thankfully did not lose it (I don't use metal leaders, but heavy mono of flouro). Thanks Kev. I may try some of Salty's kits in the future. Maybe I'll get a lathe in the near future and take a crack at a new hobby.
