Plug Etiquette

[MAC]

Here's my view. I know I'll catch heat but I'm a big boy...

If it were traded for, bought, swapped. Go for it. I've turned a corner from the collector aspect and now feel everything should be fished. Feed em to bass and bluefish. It is a piece of wood with hooks made to do so. I don't hold the sentimental thing like a lot of guys do. That is why on some plugs I'll give them away. (some plugs are too nice to fish and risk losing) I don't have 1 plug in the house now displayed, but do have a couple of hundred in the garage that will be fished.

If its yours....bought, swapped for or given to you isn't it yours after all?? Do with them as you will I say!

The beauty of a free country is..Do what you want, as long as it's legal. Sell 'em if you want whenever you want, they're yours.

How could you possibly feel right selling a plug a guy "gave" you? I guess it's more of a personal decision.

Bought plugs and swappers are as good as gold!

Mixed feelings but if someone gives you a plug and tells you to do "this" with it you should do "this". MAC would sometimes come up and say "Fish This" - it got fished, sometimes he'd say use these for the site as you see fit, they went to the site.

As far as flipping plugs up on fleabay? I have some real nice stuff that I've gotten over time but unless I was in financial emergency I could not make myself put it up. 90% will get fished (though as of late I tend to make sure I keep one example from each guy )

I share your view as far as anythng given to you. Swapped and bought plugs are fair game.

if someone gives a plug to you....I would never sell it thats for sure..but everyone's tradeing and swaping
