The market will balance out. I'm sure once sales drop dramatically they'll switch to bismuth coated magnets or something else for the Mag series. I ran out of "old school" priced stock quite a ways back, sales have of course dropped off...

I sent them an e-mail. Let's see if they respond. I use a lot of Yozuri lures. Wood is good but there are nights....... The Tobimaru and Mag Minnows are seeker plugs in my bag. When all else fails, especially at the turn of the low into the start of the incoming on the outer beach the mags find fish worked very slowly on bar edges. Conservatively, I have over fifty Yo's in my stash. For instance the large Blue/black darter under a new moon in the fall is always one up on other plugs if they aren't eating needles. Add a black redgill and it just gets better.

Wood is good but it is not all there is. I still throw vintage 7 and 5 inch Rebels and 7 inch loaded Red fins can save the night when the wind is in your face and the Atlantic is in a foul mood. Hellcats by Heddon in yellow with a redface were for years the lure du jour in the CCBay.

You can limit yourself to wood and supporting the lure manufacturers who sponsor this site but even they would tell you to carry some plastic. I once asked Stan Gibbs if he could only have two lures to fish the beach with what would they be? He looked straight at me and without a hint of hesitation said" a blue and silver rebel and a black and silver rebel Steve". That said something.

Why even try.........

I found a stash of old school emp minnows, these differ from the new ones due to the lip, I doped these up. and can flash these lures like the real deal.
when i dope them up as they need to be as the hooks cant handle large fish, and it alters the action alittle bit due to the vmc's weight.
they produce and have there spot in time, i like the mag series also an the emper series.
I have a wall of plastic and it all gets used and iffems i need a plug
Im buying it cause Im Awsome
