Reward If Found

Last seen headed for CT. One of my favorite plugs with a lot of mojo. Got distracted swatting away at some of the first mosquitoes of the season, and didn't notice the wind loop . Worst wind loop in over 5 years, snapped off the plug. $20 or a Bigfish pencil or danny is the reward. Plug in question is a blurple Bigfish Prey. See below pic. Belly hook has been changed out and tail hook is a dressed Siwash since the picture was taken .

Man, those scrapes on the belly of the plug were from bass .

Anyone else lose a beloved plug that wasn't quite ready to be retired? Do you regret not having retired it?

I don't retire plugs. Usually just re-wire, fix the lip, replace the swivels, and/or the hooks when the need it. Sometimes I save the hooks when they're like as a keepsake if it was a really good night.

Sorry for you loss bud.
