About 30 years ago the sporting goods manager of the Wal-Mart was a neighbor and friend. He called one day and explained that he had to toss a "box" of bass plugs. They had been sent up when the store opened and none sold. He sent them back.
They came right back with a nasty note that they sell everywhere and to try again.
None sold.
They said to toss them in the crusher.
He removed the plugs from the boxes and crushed the boxes. He gave me the plugs... It was a dish pack sized box in the boxes! Hundreds of plugs!
I have been giving them away, especially to kids ever since.
If anyone has a kid send me a PM I will send them a half-dozen or so plugs to fill a few of those slots in their tackle boxes. Give me a general idea of what they want and I will send them some.
I remember well the incredible tackle box my father had when I was a kid! It was a great way to spend a bunch of time looking at all those cool old plugs.
Just do not use them much these days...
