I think if someone wants to make money they need to do what Al Gags and Stetzko are doing, farm out the manufacturing as cheaply as possible and concentrate on marketing. Plug making is labor intense and who wants to work in a factory. Well some people like it, but I know I don't.

You're my hero! I think that, with your help, I may actually get a Nike built! Got 'm turned, hydro-oriented and have jigs worked out. I'm a happy guy. Numbskull even gave me the angle way back in the thread. THAT's what this Plug Forum is about, right? Thanks, Bud, I was stalemated for a while. Now, the neighbor's fence is lookin' good! 
Canalman, your guitar pick for hand-carved lips is mine now,thanks! |

I have been told by a guy who assembles lures for and with Gags that I am incorrect. I apologize. |

Just got back to this thread...
... Hold on, let me get on this soapbox here...
So wtf is wrong with an amateur hack copying a lure to use and catch fish? If anyone is so self righteous to insinuate this is somehow unethical or otherwise, well... I guess I lost a little respect for them.
I didn't get into building to make money. I do it to pass the winter, save a few $ and make enough plugs as not to worry about losing them. I've made ~50 this year. figure an average of $15 a plug to buy them. I've at least broken even this year.
I admire those who came before me. The true inovators, but please, don't try to diminish me in any way, because I am not one of them.
And for those who choose to no-longer post here? fine. That's your decision.
ok, I'm off.

You think so?
Sometimes I would have to agree including myself as well.

Can we move on from this thread now? thanks
After thinking about it, I think what the point CS was trying to make was that Old lures that are being produced for sale ought to have the same names as the opld ones and have some credit given kinda like what Tattoo does on his site when he shows the history of the plug. But that might lead to other problems like a copyrighted name or something so I don't see a realistic solution for all this conversation in this thread. Let's discuss it again next winter |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
