I think you're onto someting here...only thing is I do my tail wraps after clearcoating, which is when the marbling occurs. The plugs seem to feel a bit tacky when I use my bare hands versus gloves. Perhaps the marbling is actually my palm prints.

This would make it impossible for anyone to ever hawk one of my plugs and claim it as their own creation...they're encrypted!

In all seriousness I think you may have nailed it, Eben.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
