Basically. From all of the internet blabber about them over the last few years, demand has gone up. The supply hasn't. Bobby makes all the plugs he is able to make and still have a life, and that's that. It's a small operation. I don't think that in his wildest imagination, he ever anticipated what a hot item they'd become.
Used to be you could walk into a dozen shops in NY and LI and buy all you wanted. CMS had a whole aisle of them not too long ago. They were a well made and reasonably priced plug. Best wooden swimmers for the dollar that you could buy, for a long time. I used to buy Atom Jrs for 2/$25 at shows from Pro Fishing in Flushing. But no more. They sell like hotcakes, and unfortunately, a lot of people buy them to flip on eBay. Bobby charges shops a fair price. It's the aftermarket sales that drive the price thru the roof.
