"If they (companies) make such good quality gear that last and last, how many products can they sell each year? Not a lot"

Which is what we're seeing here.

If the lures are not constructed as well, it forces you to buy more.

Yes - but there are still a few who have not changed their designs from the original issues - Mepps, Williams, Dardevle, Little Cleo, Kastmaster, etc.

and yes - most names I mention are all metal construction, unlike topwater plugs, that we anglers snag up and lose frequently on the bottom prompting replacement. I prefer this mode of driving sales.

I would rather feel foolish for snagging up a lure and losing it - than tossing a relatively new lure away due to poor re-designs, sloppy fabrication standards and ineffective quality control........... or worse - greed.

OT

See you on the river.
