Cool

It wasn't until fairly recently (a few years ago) that Ricky @ that big store you went to started stocking custom wood plugs (because folks like me went in and bent his ear). First it was Habs, then Tattoo, and then a few others like After Hours.

He charges a premium, but that's gold coast pricing for you. Remember - that store primarily caters to boat guys who drag wire and throw slabs of meat (like the barbarians they are).

Be thankful he stocks plugs and surf gear, even if you have to pay a little more for it. Your next best option is to head up Pat Abate's shop a litte more than an hour away in Old Saybrook. Going south, your next available spot for custom wood is in Queens and Long Island.

Your plugs are made to be fished they hold up incredibly and there sould be no reason no matter what the income of their store is $18-$22 over here

From the post and PMs , I think I opened up a can of sandworms!
From the PM I got from Don, who makes them, there are ALOT of other stores that sell them less expensive! That store where I bought it is in "prime location" territory.
Like FISHPOOPOO said, there`s not much around by me (locally) that sell custom.
