That's a bullsheet response from a plugbuilder using a crappy clearcoat

I notice a problem with my plugs. Often the VMC hook will snag on the side of the plug and remain out of position ruining the retrieve. Since in many spots your first cast has the highest return rate, a ruined cast probably costs you a decent chance at fish.

has happened to me before matter of fact i was testing some plugs yesterday and only had naked sealed wood grain and the darn hooks kept sticking into the side of the soft plug. Epoxy would cut that percentage down quite a bit but have seen it happen.
I think Eben was talking about the guy that was complaining, not you Chef C |

I'm not sure of the name of this, but some of the smaller freshwater Zaras I've seen have hook hangers that prevent the belly treble from swinging forward -- maybe limits the swing to the sides as well; the treble can only lay flat against the plug to the rear. Wonder if there is a heavy version. |

The Chas. Russo flap tail used those one way hangers... |

I don't use clear coat on my PVC plugs.
Was just saying that different epoxies hold up to hook rash better than others.
