Plug Prices

[Pt.JudeJoe]

The cost of materials is way up. Like others have said ,and I have seen first hand, a lot goes into making custom wood plugs. The $ per hour by the time it is finished is very small ,but they do it because they love their work and it shows in the finished product.But the truth is.....you should all be throwing METAL!

There's always Super Strike. As good as they ever were...

Although those have gone up too. Considering where plastic comes from you can't be too surprised I guess.

Barring lobster pots and other random tragedies I really rarely lose a plug, so I'm fairly fearless when it comes to throwing wood. My only requirement is that the plug will tolerate years of service. I'll pay if it works and it lasts.

However
I believe plug prices reflect workmanship and quality. For instance the plugs below go for only $15 as alot of other retailers are selling plugs very similar to them for $23 you really have to see them up close this is one of the only plugs that you could by for reasonable and affordable price and people have never heard of them. It is unfourtinate but raw materials are going up like paint, wood, wire, lead, and metal welcome to inflation it sucks but it affects the builders more than you think. How much money do you think th builders are making from building plugs after labor and costs of materials. I can honestly say not much its more of a hobbie for most of the guys.
