northbar is coming out with a plastic version of the bottle darter. looks really good.
i think it would be tough to compete with bomber from a cost standpoint. i've never heard of a bomber failing either. with the a-salt (which is my favorite), your looking at 1/0 hooks. i just can't see the lure (unless really old and beat up), failing before a 1/0. the magnum long a may benefit from thru wire, but i usually just go to a redfin when i move up from the a-salt.
there's definately a market, although a small one, for "custom" plastic. i've always thought that the old rebel windcheaters should be knocked off by someone. what a great lure. i'd pay a premium for those since you can't just buy the original. if nothing else, if you could produce something good, maybe one of the big buys would buy it from you, although they'd probably just steal it.
