You hit it good, there are lots in the shop, but you can only buy 2 because its a stand up shop and so they are forced to limit the number people can purchase to avoid this exact thing we are talking about. If you are a big fan of BM plugs and really would like to fish, say, his musso wad. You might want to buy 6 or 8 to fish because you know the next time they come around will be a long while and there really is no other similar plug out there, but you can't because they are limited. Just one guys opinion. |
swanny,
IMO, if you deal with reputable shops and you give them a very good amount of business you will find that the "difficult to get plugs" they manage to get you some. This covers 80% of the plugs.
Then there is the issue of the remaining 20% that are extremely rare like the BM Wadds or some of the hab's before his passing. Here the only thing that helps you is that you are a loyal customer to your B&T shop. Sometimes 2 plugs of something is much better than 0 of that plug. Sometimes you can manage to trade for these plugs, but very rare.
Merry Christmas,
Billy
