$1000 plug. So your 2nd plug brought your "out the door" cost down by half? Your last plug was $2000.

You must have a shat load of other plugs you're not posting.

The price is now coming down rapidly...I actually shaved, saw my family, and picked up three weeks worth of mail today...

I'm going to pull this plug apart and try re-wiring it with Rock's method so as to hide the big tail loop on the middle of the body.

Got a buch more finished this weekend.

Be careful not to get it too tight. Jointed plugs cast better (quite well in fact) when they can bend 90 degrees in the air.

After looking at the completed plug I decided not to mess with it. Other issue is my through holes are 5/32, but the nose hole is 1/8, thus the doubled wire is very difficult to get through, so I'm going to stick with the traditonal tail loop until I do some bigger jointeds.
