Actually, the only thing that brings on the $$$$$$$$$$$ is high demand and short supply. Quality, commitment, and fishcatching ability are certainly important, but so are scarcity and hype. The latter, in particular, has gone through the roof regarding Beachmaster plugs, hence the wild escalation in prices for models presently unavailable. The growing perception that his plugs are worth collecting (rather than fishing) also is becoming a factor. I, for one, have mixed feelings about this trend. I have fished his plugs for @20 years with great confidence. I have extras in reserve, but I am starting to doubt those will ever see the use for which they were intended. Money certainly messes with your mind.
