i want to find the middle ground of wood vs steel. how many tweaks to the steel (since it seems easier then tweaking the wood) do you make before you decide the wood was no good?

edit... never mid.. i'll figure it out if the pool isnt frozen
You really have to be more specific ,,, What plug do you have in mind ,, Hooks are one cosideration but not the only .. Most the time its a place . a rip ... deep water .. or lack of it .. sand .. or rocks ... I've made some heavy arse needles to drag in the sand that would be insanity to throw in a rock pile . I know what hooks I want ,, but sometimes a plug (swimmer) will tell me what hooks it wants . I know a plug that can not be reproduced because the thin wire 5/0 hooks do not exist anymore . Jerry Sylvester's jointed plug .. I had to get some old arse hooks Flap had ..
