Custom Plugs

How much should I charge for these two custom plugs? No lathe so I used my chain saw and to practice with a new toy, be a good man cave addition or if someone owned a marina and wanted a cool display. In light of what fishable custom plugs go for I'm thinking $50 maybe. Probably throw up on Yahoo marketplace and see if I can get $50 each.

What do you know about casting into the wind? You don’t fish.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I had a visitor/customer that saw one of my large double jointed plugs hanging in my office offer me $100 for it ( I wouldn't sell, but did donate one to him when we got the contract).. people pay big money for novelty stuff, you never know what you might get..

I'm thinking one of those "punkin chunking" catapults might be the key to getting one of those into fishable water.. probably going to have to beef up the Van stall for that retrieve!

A good run is better than a bad stand!

I can turn up to 44" on my lathe. Let's figure out something. There is a business here.

Swinging by Redtop tomorrow, the owners son has expressed an interest, clearly a cool item for a tackle shop or bar or waterfront restaurant.

Reminds me of the huge black Habs needlefish John Habs used to make. He would give one to some of the shops that carried his plugs.
