It's not about feel good it's about validity.

Validation can be a wonderful thing especially from your peers but one must keep things in perspective and first and foremost one needs to be enjoying building plugs and not worry what others think. It is fabulous to hear your "stuff" looks great but better to hear how someone caught a PB on one of your lures......thats the vaildation I enjoy most and why I make plugs.
