For me, it's all about confidence when I'm plug fishing (which I do 90% of the time). I don't like spending an arm and a leg for a nice plug, but I do it because there are certain plugs that I know I will catch with. Hab's Needles are one of those plugs that I always felt good about using. I think if you have confidence, you are more likely to work the plug correctly and not rush your retrieve. I figure that a $1,000 rod/reel setup looks great and will help you land the fish, but you still have to have something that catches them. For me, I use plugs that I have confidence in. I still use plastic and rubber, but I always feel that I'll do better with certain wooden plugs. And if you're patient and look around, you can still pick some up for reasonable prices (especially with some of the sponsors here).
