My brother in law rows a 8-10 year old Clackacraft Guide and yes it is a great boat. Easy to row and yes you can pull plugs just fine. It does have leg clamps in the front that I always thought were for flyfishing but its fun to stand in them while retreiving a fish. And we bonk a fish laying on fiberglass, dont want to let the rest of the fish smell blood in the water!
