7 dollar plugs can do the trick though too... i caught my largest 47.75 pound fish on a bomber. so dont think it cant happen. dont get me wrong, the customs are amazing but sometimes the cheaper lures def dont get the acknowledgment they sometimes deserve.

Thanks guys, feel like deleting this whole post for causing a big haggle 
I think I should stick to chunking  .
But after buying my first "professional"plug, I see why they cost what they do.
Since there is no rush at this time of the season, I`m buying 1 or 2 every couple weeks from the sponsers here |

onecastmike2003.....shame.Instead of offering good advice or help you became in instant a-hole.Something to strive for?I'm not sure.Why not try to contribute something positive.This is a community of fisherman,its not a community of sphincters.

Unfortunately, I do.

WOW! Now that was fast..................
Here's my ringing endorsement for The Edge.
Just ordered Zeno's new book, and had it in me grubby mitts
in two days. UPS, very neatly packed and a bonus SWE sticker to boot!!
The boyz at The Edge are very knowledgable, Pete places a very high priority on customer service, and they have not one but TWO of NE's sharpest pros at yer disposal should one decide to make the very worthwhile trip into their surfcasters heaven.
I have spoken with the Iron One and Steve McKenna at length on many occassions and each time they have been willing to put up with my case of the "hungries" and a trip there has always been worth its weight in gold and gas mileage. Hell, early(11:01  ) one Sunday last Spring it was just Steve and me in the shop and he taught me his Sluggo rig, side by side, and then gave me a tutorial on his retrieve. Five minutes with Mike Everrin is like an entire season on the water. His ability to impart his knowledge in practical and no nonsense fashion has crushed my learning curve, radically.
While it's not the only place on the Striper Coast to get quality gear, attentive service, and invaluable helps and insights, it is always at the top of my list. Their online service and web site are top notch as well. Check 'em out danno1, you won't be disappointed  . |
"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy
Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!

Hey Mike,for your own well-being,thiiiiiiink,before you post.The fish in your photo is no bigger than 20 lbs.The world record(allegedly)was 78.8,and caught on a Rebel.I'm POSITIVE your plugs are stronger than Rebels. |

So because im not rich but make a pretty good living and wont spend $25 on a plug makes me a weekend warrior is that what you are saying? very far from it my freind.I gurantee I fish more then most of the people on this sight probably including you.I am still fishing 5 out of 7 days a week sometimes twice a day and still catching fish what about you.

customs have their place, but so do "cheap" plastic swimmers (45 lbs on a redfin - my best)
as far as where to by:
capecodtackle.com
saltwateredge.com
can't got wrong with either, and they're both site sponsors

I agree on the above post. I would say the Saltwater Edge. They have a great selection and offer great advice on other items that might fit your budget and style as well as area fished. As for that Mike guy mentioned above you should be more concerned about not getting a 3/0 treble in the hand and get a tool to handle the fish you land and leave the new guy alone.  |
