why do the Beachmasters fetch such high prices? Is it supply and demand?

Basically. From all of the internet blabber about them over the last few years, demand has gone up. The supply hasn't. Bobby makes all the plugs he is able to make and still have a life, and that's that. It's a small operation. I don't think that in his wildest imagination, he ever anticipated what a hot item they'd become.
Used to be you could walk into a dozen shops in NY and LI and buy all you wanted. CMS had a whole aisle of them not too long ago. They were a well made and reasonably priced plug. Best wooden swimmers for the dollar that you could buy, for a long time. I used to buy Atom Jrs for 2/$25 at shows from Pro Fishing in Flushing. But no more. They sell like hotcakes, and unfortunately, a lot of people buy them to flip on eBay. Bobby charges shops a fair price. It's the aftermarket sales that drive the price thru the roof.  |

His plugs hold up that's why. They last and the money you pay for wooden plugs, you might as well get something decent that you know works. They also swim like they are supposed to right out of the package and are all alike. Proven fish catchers. simple really.

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.

I think so, but as with all builders as they progress, things get refined.
First I knew of them was back when CMS started selling them back in the 90's so I don't have any early stuff. Metal lip makes a great plug  |
