25$ really isn't that ungodly considering how much a decent wooden plug is.

30-35 bucks for an injected plastic lure with hardware "YOU NEED TO REPLACE WHEN YOU BUY IT?" Thanks I will pass. The results are undeniable but I always tend to go against the grain and not with it.

That is EXACTLY the reason I won't buy one.

There is no reason a plastic lure needs to cost that much money.

Unfortunately when the economy gets back into swing you will see the cost of Everything go way up.

A lot of the guys that said would never buy . Now they own a few of them. The point is they are sold out almost every week and there is a reason they work.
Larry I have one aside with your name on it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every plug builder should buy and swim the magic swimmer . Just to study this lipless wonder. I love the slow sink and it owes me nothing . The stick shad is also a very good plug . The fast sink seems to be made just for the canal . You can get down and when you crank at the end of your drift it comes to the surface .. No getting hung up on the edge or pots . I bought a couple just to check out the hoopla and now own 5 . This reveiw is canal only .. I havn't fished the beach with these plugs but the shallow beaches I fish I'd probably have to retool with all floating or slow sink. I must admit at the canal I fish alot of plastic .. sebille, storms,north bar,cordell, super strike and eyeing rapala.. On the beach I'll take a 2 tubes of needles then fill in the rest .

That being said the best bang for the buck is cordell... I wouldn't want some kid thinking he had to have a sebille ..

We now call the area of the Sebiles ,Crack Corner.
When you try it just once your hooked you will have to attend countless hours at (SA) Sebile Anonymous to quit.

it takes a very strong will to walk down "Crack Alley" and not get a fix...so many colors, patterns, weights, etc...you just "need" to have them all.

That does not sound very fishconomic.

But they are silly good at the canal and they have taken fish while others were getting skunk. I know of quite a few fish coming in on them.

Yes, there are some cheaper alternatives but I don't think they are as good. Yet.
