Welcome to the site

Guess what, paying anything more than 30 bucks for a plug to fish with is just ridiculous, and nobody should encourage these ebay price gougers, by bidding up these plugs and paying that much. in the long run it is just going to get the prices to go up over the board.

Thank God for plastic Redfins and Superstrikes.

Caumset, with all due respect, you didn't spend $91 on a beachmaster danny to fish it. You spent it because you thought you needed the plug to be happy. Nothing wrong with that, we've all done something similar (or worse). By the way, the Gibbs dannys work every bit as well, even if the beachmasters are nicer (and marginally heavier). Good luck, enjoy your plugs,.... but not as much as your family,...... and welcome to the site.

Can't say I've bought any recently, but I doubt they have changed them. Actually, the Gibbs danny and pre-eyes beachmasters were the same body and same lip (the beachmasters with eyes are fatter which I don't like though some people do). The only meaningful difference was in the belly weight (though the original beachmasters had a poorer quality thin lip with sharp edges and the gibbs hooks are a few mm closer together). Gibbs used a 10/32" round lead shot that was smaller than the weight in an original danny or beachmaster (the original had a 3/8 x 7/16 slug, the beachmaster a 5/16 x 1/2" slug). For a while I used to drill out the weight on a gibbs and replace it with a danny sized slug...., but gave this up when I was repeatedly outfished by a friend using a stock white Gibbs Danny. I also often upsized the hooks on my medium Dannys from 2/0 to 3/0, partly because I like the slower action even if the fish don't neccessarily always agree. But the bottomline is that after close to a thousand hours fishing Beachmasters, Lupos, and Gibbs side by side I'm convinced there is more variation plug to plug within the same brand, than there are major variations brand to brand. I won't pretend to be the final authority on anything, but I have learned that with any wooden metal lip plug, it is much more about how you set it up, tune it, and work it, than it is about which brand you buy.

First: don't tell me why I spent that much. That's my business and I have my reasons.
Second: Keep your lecturing about how I should treat my family to yourself.

OK, now that we understand each other, I look forward to fishing with you this spring as I cast that yellow Danny plug out...

Pete_G · 01-09-2007, 11:24 PM

I'll try and get a Danny update in the next few days. As of a month ago, they're next. The wood and lips for Dannys already exists. Not that that means this spring....

Cowboys are still what's in the barrel at the moment.

Caumset,
Welcome to the site.
I used to do a lot of Bridge fishing on Lawn Guyland, this one time I almost sold one(the bridge) to a new guy . Some guys catch fish , come catch fishermen.

Enjoy your plugs in good health.

Some ugly stuff going on there. Whatever......goodbye.

cow tamer · 01-10-2007, 07:10 AM

I guess the bottom line is that e Bay is all about what the buyer and seller personally feel something is worth and therefore what one is willing to pay or accept. When suprised by this, let's still remain mindfull of this.

Beachmaster prices will go up in the short run. There's bound to be at least one vendor who will use an agent to sell them on Ebay....Or a tackle shop employee will buy them all up and sell them on Ebay. (And no, I'm not alluding to the Saltwater Edge - just to be clear.)

Over the medium run, prices will go down because at the going rate more sellers will enter the market.

There are too many builders these days for prices to go up across the board.

I would not get on the new dude too badly...

Saltheart · 01-10-2007, 08:49 AM

If I paid a hundred for a plug , it would be to hang on the wall. I would never fish it.

The canal is great in that respect. Pour a jig for 45 cents , stick on a 60 cent curltail and let it slizzer right on the bottom. If it gets snagged , you lose $1.

vineyardblues · 01-10-2007, 10:39 AM

Welcome
And congrats on your plugs, you really have some sweet stuff!
As for fishing them, (and I am a collector and fisherman)
Let's just say this,,,that's what they are made for! When we are in the boat around the rocks with wire line ...I always go for the Gibbs gts 3 3/4 "nothing has better action"
Hell the damm thing is to big to cast any how..lol
I always toss an old beat up Atom or what ever I have in my bag.
Now as a colllector, I would think twice about tossing MINT old plugage out to a bloo fish blitz. LOL
Again, welcome to the site.Head over to the antique lure forum and post some pictures please
