Or these? Point is these things are wood built by a talented guy (basically) in his garage. There is a lot of variation, which is part of the challenge of using wooden plugs. All things being equal, I'd rather fish a BM than anything else, but when you buy one and tie it on, you never know what you're going to end up with (and I'm not talking about paint blemishes). Not an issue if you plan to hang it and show it off.....or use eels.

good homework George .. On the Danny,, thats new stock and old stock.. Do you think they may have changed in that time .. I notice his plugs are fat in the can ..to cast well I suspect ..like the atom jr. .. I say the heavy darter will be better .. Mine roll out at 2.8 ...,,,... 2.9 - 3.5 they hold current fine .. Thats how much a stick of hard maple varies .. in plugbuilding we have constructive critisism on eachothers work . Not to slam .. doesn't carry well out of there i've noticed .. My history of fishing bm's is limited.. I know you put alot of time with them Numby and always praise the needles.. ya spit the truth ..

As others have pointed out, BM were first rate fishing tools. For people who can still get them a retail cost, they are worth every penny, but for those who are trying to rationalize paying twice cost for the chance to fish one....well just know what you are getting into.
