Big blues ruining or stealing your plugs, what do you do?

[Rip-Plugger]

I like my plugs having scars and looking beat to hell,shows that they get used and are catching fish.
it also shows that they are actually being used and not hanging on someones wal.
it seems to me that if someone wants a plug to hang on the wall I woud use something bought off the store shelf.
I did make 3 for a guy that wanted them to hang up for decoration,those were plugs that were not sealed or would even work if fished,they do look great but, for actual fishing they are not suitable at all.

now,when gators are large and in numbers,i use 100 pound mono leaders,nrmally i use 60-80 but,if they are thick,I use 100 grand slam,stuff is stiff and takes a shredding.
also,I fish the edges of the fish and don't throw in the middle of them,less teeth on the fringe you know.
