If I didn’t know any better I’d say this guy is a certified plugologist

I’ve used about half of those items…, I need to get out of my comfort zone and put in work with the balance of those lures. Thanks

Plugology, is that a word?

[@SaltwaterEdge]

It's going to be the word of the year in 2023

@@SaltwaterEdge It's been a thing with me forever, I'm a lure junky, and I do every kind of fishing, from surf casting Montauk, down to little freshwater panfish, and everything in between, so I probably have more lures than your store does!

[@SaltwaterEdge]

I believe it! It is a lot of fun to collect lures over time, we sometimes get "new" lures in and a guy will come in and say, hey I've had something similar in my basement for 10 years. A lot of history!

@@SaltwaterEdge Funny you say that because 40 years ago I used to make these huge spoons out of 4" copper pipe, I'd cut them to the shape and size of a bunker, bend them like a spoon, then add drips of solder until they were perfectly balanced to flutter beautifully. I'd paint them, and we'd jig them on the bottom, under schools of bunker in LI Sound, and destroy big bass. I wish I'd have patented the idea, because now it's all the rage!
