I don't know about turning out Mac's stuff. I know he is a lure collector. He has talked with me about getting into the business. He was looking into a few CNC machines.

ya that's the dood I keep hearing rumors of that is going to take all mac's stuff and stick into a cnc and spit out thousands a minute.... 
was soliciting/trolling last week on another board.
Good for mac that his stuff can get hundreds but remember it's a select few doing it so take it for what it's worth.
Anyone with a lathe and a piece of sandpaper is a lure business nowadays. |

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I agree Tagger.
I told Mac that he could have some or all his plugs back off the wall. He only took 1 I believe a yellow surfster.  |

I think I met the guy some years back. Very intense and goes all out when he gets into something. Was a serious and very good bass fisherman years ago, was heavily into big game archery and tournament saltwater flyfishing last I heard of him. I believe his family owned the Wall Street Journal or Washington Post at some point.....so financially he can afford to do things right. Turned out high end woodworking back then. If he gets into plug building he likely would put out a quality product. More likely he is just into collecting (or plans to take up plugging again). The nitty gritty of filling commerical orders on schedule probably gets old very fast. |

The words "custom made" and the term CNC should not exist together when describing plugs. There is nothing custom about CNC.
While CNC definitely has it's place in manufacturing it takes all the personality out of plug building. It's where you draw the line between hand made (custom) and mass produced.

Shannon and I will always treasure the marbled (mine blue, Shannon's purple) pikies he made us with our names on them as thanks for the work we did for the GOS auction on the other board.
They are the only two Macs we have and they ain't going anywere.

Is there really much difference between a CNC plug and one made on a lathe with a duplicator?

Damn Good Point. and yes , there are subltle differences.. Speed, and the cnc is much more accurate.
The prototype gets the original design and tweaking, if you are doing quantity of a proven plug, a duplicator can do that, and save you time.. a CNC can do that better and faster..
I can't imagine anyone selling, not using a cnc, or a duplicator, templates, and any form of layout, jigs etc. that they can to speed the process.. of a proven prototype.. if they have to test, & tune, & swim each one.. the logistics of that, are a plan for failure, as a company.
Hard to imagine a machinist that hates CNC technology, especially knowing how they appreciate tolerances.. but.. maybe it just reminds them of work... 
I have no problem with plugs made from a duplicator, or a CNC.. as long as they swim and catch fish.. whats the big deal.. almost sounds like some kind of elitist mentality...
Seen the end result of that.. look up at Scorton.. Scorton Pine.. |

I'd have to say no difference....but a plug turned with a set of calipers and a chisel wood be more in line of custom.Getting down to nitty gritty, hand carves are truly custom...made by hand..no machine.
