Plug prices going through the roof

For me, if I'm paying for a plug in the $30+ range it's going on the wall and not in the bag. It just doesn't make sense (in my wallet) to spend that kind of money when there are plenty of other plugs to throw which are similar and get the same result. Yes, the prices for wooden plugs are up there, but so has the demand and they go hand in hand. Be selective with your purchases to fit your go to successes. Be willing to repair and refurbish beat up plugs. Look for alternatives, experiment and try a little reverse engineering on your beaters.

i myself would never pay 35 bucks for a plug,but if you can afford that kind of money and the plug is a known fish catcher and is handcrafted like Gary2 and lefties wades etc.they are worth the money and enjoyment they bring to the owner. what gets me is the people who are paying good money for plugs that haven't even caught a fish.
