I don't think theres any doubt that if you bang a plug(wooden one for sure)off of rocks or whatever you are increasing your chance of something breaking or going wrong.I know woodchucker is hurting without his 9" slammer.The whole front section from the plastic lip forward came off.That was after bouncing it off a few different hard surfaces though.It's tough on those plugs being fished at night most of the time and your trying to get as close to structure as you can.But that's to be expected,wood is a good a great material to make lures from but not as forgiving as plastic for sure.I am going to definetly check out my plugs after every use or contact with a hard surface for cracks.


On kind of the same subject,does anyone coat there plugs(wood) with an extra sealant?I was thinking of repainting one of mine and I want a good thick,glossy coat of something over it.Any suggestions?
