That might be the biggest problem. That is, builder X makes a batch of plugs, still in the proto-type stage, not indended to be sold. May have used some lesser grade components (paint, clear, etc.) cause they were more concerned about seeing how the fish reacted to the plug than building it to last. Give a few away to people to get some feedback. Year or so later, after you've tweaked the plug some, you see that proto-type for sale. You now have a lessor plug out there, with your name associated with it, for sale.

Thanks for that ..exactly .. . I'd say its buyer beware ,, Can't blame anyone for selling .. paying too much .,.many sell plugs to buy other plugs .. its part of the disease we have .... not a hater... like i said ... just freakin embarrissed sometimes .

don't worry about your early gems you gave me tagger I still have them all , they aren't going anywhere unless NIB swipes one

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

What drives me crazy is seeing people only buying plugs on this site or other sites at a lower cost and two days later they are on e-bay for a much higher price....I think we all know the names of sellers on e-bay who do this.

I hate greedy people!!
