This is a trap. Most of what you see people buying at Berkley is poor man's "investment art".
Nothing wrong with building beatuiful plugs to admire, but I think the real beauty in a plug is how it fishes, and the fancier the finish the less likely to get fished.
It is the hit, set, and big thrashing at 2 am in October, not the ooo's and ahhs online, that makes plug building worth it. It enhances your fishing experience greatly.
Copying old stuff is teachs you a lot, and when that learning results in a big fish, the feeling is intoxicating.
