I think JohnR is looking for builders who may have stirred the pot a bit? Got others thinking maybe with an original idea or a new spin on the old wheel?? Innovative and thinking out of the box perhaps?? Is that what you want JohnR?

Nope - what I am looking for is either plugs from this site that have influenced you, made you want to cast real bad to a bass, or said "H&%*(# Sh27#^&# - That's $^^%*& AWESOME!!!"
Not pot stirring at all, in fact, plugs which everyone rates two thumbs way up

Sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. - Morpheus

I would have to second the Freak Flag plug.....That thing is like Kryptonite.
When you get near it or hold it you get Dizzy and Weak in the knees.

how can ya not be influenced by this artists' work?
Another would have to be Mr. Pogie, and I am sure he was influenced by Stan Gibbs since his bottle plugs simply blow away any Gibbs paintjob I have ever seen.
There are many others that I can list that influence me, as far as inspiring me to experiment, then I'd have to go with Bassmaster and Gary2 and Tony Stetzko Sr. for a couple of names.
I find it very difficult to put one person above the rest but having said that, Chum's work speaks for itself.
Mike Fixter helped me out alot as well as many others, we all help each other, even that Habs guy helps

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Gary2....always ahead of the curve, paint wise and originiality wise, the craftsmanship of his hand carved are second to none.
Bernzy...Amazing painter and plug maker, hell of a nice guy too. Howdys have to be one of the best new wood plugs to come around in a while.
It doesnt get more influential than these two guys and their plugs.  |
