--- So you think you' save money and build a high quality plug, right? You'll paint it the way you want, put good hooks and such and this and that... In some case you might actually improve the quality but as far as the action, some trial and error will be needed for some plugs. THAT will be more costly than off the rack...
Here's a question for you:
How will you modify the action of a plug that has no action? One "bare" plug may look like a danny style swimmer but will it swim like a Gibb's or the far superior wobblin' BEACHMASTER (I love that plug - it's the best danny I've ever seen)...
Well, in answer to your question, some plugs will work better if they swing freely on a split ring but other plugs that you would normally adjust the angle of the eye might loose some of that benefit. Keeping the line tight on the eye will have a different effect when tied tight rather than swinging loosely on a snap (another piece of hardware to fail when a fish is on!!!)
... did I make any sense or did I reply as disjointedly as I'm thinking right now???
