The bottle plug

[DZ]

You’re right Salty – when it’s a business decision it just doesn’t make sense to make a plug that will last longer and I understand that aspect in today’s environment.
But I’m from a more “frugal” time period. Re-painting plugs, replacing lips on Rebel’s, and tinkering with plugs was always the norm for me and my casting partners.

Today’s plug market is much more competitive. New ideas and gimmicks are needed for marketing. I have the ideas but not the expertise to build them (I hated wood shop).

I’m just trying to get some of the many talented plug builders to do something different.
In past posts I’ve mentioned many different ideas such as a reverse needlefish and the re-incarnation of the Wad and stubby needles. These older ideas have inspired recent creations that are now being marketed. It is my hope that someone will take the idea of a metal lip bottle plug and start to build….and they will be the first.
