Wow, you're really painting with a broad brush. I own plenty of $30 plugs and they are all used for catching fish, not being put on display. I also own plenty less expensive plugs made by guys who are sponsors here and they catch just as well and have just as good of finishes as more expensive plugs.

I use different plugs for different conditions and would rather fish with plugs I have confidence in. Sometimes it's a BM Danny, sometimes it's a Gibbs Polaris popper, sometimes it's a Hab's needle. Heck, I even use rubber storm shads if the conditions call for it.

As for Bob Hahn plugs, they are cheaper because they aren't as well made. I have a couple and the finishes aren't as durable and they come with crappy hooks.

By the way, I don't sit in my car looking through binoculars. My binoculars usually stay on the boat. They wouldn't work well for me when fishing the surf anyways because I can't see much through them when it's dark out.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
