Plug Prices

[Adam_777]

Yep plugs are expensive and they are addictive once you dabble in them.They add up and take up space.When you loose one to a rock or a lobster pot your twice as pissed as you would be if you lost a cheapy.I fish rocks alot and the wood and paint takes a beating.Woods nice but sometimes plastic holds up better.Most I've spent on one is 25 bux I can't see any more than that.

I think the new custom plugs are just getting closer to their true value. Additionally there seem to be a lot of builders out there who don't have to rely on it for a primary income, so they don't have to worry as much with competition.

But I think things will trend down a bit unless there's a change in the market. There's only so many plug consumers out there.

Much easier to pay up at the spring shows, when I'm jonseing to fish. Someone has it right in their signature; The next best thing to fishing is buying new gear. Can't do it at this time of year when I see I haven't even used 10% of what I have..... Heck, I could get by without adding another five years, and still not use them all. (But we all know that won't happen...)

This topic has been beaten to death by now. There are still inexpensive wooden plugs out there like Bob Hahn's that are available. It is simply supply and demand.

think about it....
how many plugs do you really need???
and how many times can you use a plug???
ya cant change hooks on a chunk....or repaint an eel
in comparison...plugs (even expensive ones) are an economical way to fish....ya just dont need a miliion of em...or every new one

You think surf plugs are expensive look at what Cali and the rest of the world is getting for almost the same plug for fresh water. Now thats expensive. When you start to dish out $300 for a largemouth plug somethings wrong...okay I have a problem
