I like the SS bottle and I do put heavier hooks on them along with using them in a fairly shallow area. Even so they don't dive that deep. 4 to 8 feet maybe? Mostly I just tug it along till I feel it graze the bottom then I just let it float up, then repeat. Much like a crankbait in freshwater, which is what I grew up doing since I lived on a great bass pond.

You want to part with any of those older Gibbs?

They're a classic example of "they don't make 'em like they used to".
