Don's finishes are legendary!!
And the action on his sr spooks are lethal. That's a damn shame yer gettin' hoodwinked by some selfish bastage down your way. That being said, his finishes are well worth the price of admission ~even if ya gotts ta grease the palm of the bouncer  !
The Dad is right, get them online or at the shows, much more reasonable and WELL worth the wait. |

I thought this thread was about where to buy plugs?

I have to second these suggestions. Anyone passing through CT should stop by these two shops. Both are right off 95. |

I have all the respect in the world for you custom plug builders your work is fantastic, I onley wish I could afford a $20 or higher plug.I'll probablly piss some of you off by saying this sorry if I do, but who the hell would spend that much on plugs just to lose them or have them get all banged up from the rocks and bluefish. I guess if I won the powerball I would spend the money. I'll stick with atom poppers and plastic and $6.OO plugs they all catch fish.I suppose if I was fishing next to a guy using one of those $25 plugs and was catching much bigger fish then I was I would breakdown and spend the money.Tell me wich is the best plug out there and i'll buy one at one of the fishing shows i'll try it all next year and see if they really produces better then what I use.

7 dollar plugs can do the trick though too... i caught my largest 47.75 pound fish on a bomber. so dont think it cant happen. dont get me wrong, the customs are amazing but sometimes the cheaper lures def dont get the acknowledgment they sometimes deserve.

Thanks guys, feel like deleting this whole post for causing a big haggle 
I think I should stick to chunking  .
But after buying my first "professional"plug, I see why they cost what they do.
Since there is no rush at this time of the season, I`m buying 1 or 2 every couple weeks from the sponsers here |

Unfortunately, I do.

WOW! Now that was fast..................
Here's my ringing endorsement for The Edge.
Just ordered Zeno's new book, and had it in me grubby mitts
in two days. UPS, very neatly packed and a bonus SWE sticker to boot!!
The boyz at The Edge are very knowledgable, Pete places a very high priority on customer service, and they have not one but TWO of NE's sharpest pros at yer disposal should one decide to make the very worthwhile trip into their surfcasters heaven.
I have spoken with the Iron One and Steve McKenna at length on many occassions and each time they have been willing to put up with my case of the "hungries" and a trip there has always been worth its weight in gold and gas mileage. Hell, early(11:01  ) one Sunday last Spring it was just Steve and me in the shop and he taught me his Sluggo rig, side by side, and then gave me a tutorial on his retrieve. Five minutes with Mike Everrin is like an entire season on the water. His ability to impart his knowledge in practical and no nonsense fashion has crushed my learning curve, radically.
While it's not the only place on the Striper Coast to get quality gear, attentive service, and invaluable helps and insights, it is always at the top of my list. Their online service and web site are top notch as well. Check 'em out danno1, you won't be disappointed  . |

Hey Mike,for your own well-being,thiiiiiiink,before you post.The fish in your photo is no bigger than 20 lbs.The world record(allegedly)was 78.8,and caught on a Rebel.I'm POSITIVE your plugs are stronger than Rebels. |

customs have their place, but so do "cheap" plastic swimmers (45 lbs on a redfin - my best)
as far as where to by:
capecodtackle.com
saltwateredge.com
can't got wrong with either, and they're both site sponsors

I agree on the above post. I would say the Saltwater Edge. They have a great selection and offer great advice on other items that might fit your budget and style as well as area fished. As for that Mike guy mentioned above you should be more concerned about not getting a 3/0 treble in the hand and get a tool to handle the fish you land and leave the new guy alone.  |

None ruder than you RHM.
That fish is not even close to 46"/38#
You're not hoisting a 38# fish with a couple of fingers wrapped around the top of your plug.
Do us a favor. Buy a scale and learn how to use a tape measure. Oh, and leave your crap over at the other place.   |

OCM - There is no flippin' way that fish is 38 pounds - no way, no chance. I think you need to dial up the truthi-meter and dial back the bully and attitude. Or you will be the first "voted off the island" this year |
