Question

Other than a hype instigated hysteria for collecting, what are Lefty's really good for?

I fished one once, I wouldn't put it out when serious fish are in the suds and it's action really didn't impress me.

WTF?

Not trying to be an A-Hole but really, what is the big fuss other than the making of something out of something thats really not all that much and collectors going gaga over it.

Too many plug builders who are thought of as "legends" ( I hate that term actually) are building plugs more for the collectoing market than the actual fishing there-of.

Craziness.

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

I must agree, if it wasn't for the fact that I was one of the first in line and had a opportunity to grab a couple of Lefty's first off his table I most likely would not of picked any up.. Lefty Carr bumped the price up to $35. for his larger lures and in fact was not very pleasant when the crowds rushed in to buy him out.. Nice huh....
Like Dave said - Lefty Plugs - For Future Considerations....
I also skipped some of the other "Collectors" plugs and instead went for what I was looking for - Fixters & Gary2's...
