Plain definitions for the words that recur across the register, from ballast and blowout to lip, track and slack water.

Field notes
Definitions, revisions and the practical observations that make a directory feel like a living reference. This is a working category, not a label pasted above an empty archive. Follow the specialist pages below for the decision behind each shape.

3 useful starting points
GuideReading the surf
Read the surf before choosing the plug
Bars, cuts, points, shorebreak and rips change the water a lure sees. The first useful cast begins with that map.
GuideSite information
Site information, contact and privacy
Who publishes The Plug Ledger, how to send a correction, how the pages are made and what the site does with reader data.
A category with a boundary
The broad label makes the site legible to a reader who arrives with a commercial or practical question. The specialist pages keep it credible. We stay with wooden surf plugs, surfcasting decisions and the water that changes the result; we do not fill the page with unrelated general fishing topics.
Read the selection index when you want one compact comparison, or contact the desk with a correction.
