Hello John

They are made from wood. The company closed down about 3 years ago when the owner sadly passed away. Tony (Lex Lures) purchased the company and its inventory from the widow. He sold off most of them to various individuals.

They are what they are - inexpensive plugs that you won't feel guilty when you loose it or torn to shreds by bluefish. The action is excellent, but some of the older first generation plugs had a thin top coat which created some debate on 'the other forum'

. But I think some personal feelings played a role in that.
