John this is stupid, all of it. I know you know where I am coming from in my defense of Gibbs. No Joe, the Gibbs Hab's-a-Like needles aren't as good they don't fish like a Habs but they do work.
As a customer I am frustrated by not being able to go to the local tackle shop and pick up one of John's when I need them. Last three weeks I would have killed for a purple black Habs needle and an Olive HAB'S Needle. I went to M&D's ask Mike, Powderhorn ask Andy, CMS ask Eric and Falmouth Bait and Tackle. All of these shops had Hab's plugs of some kind. NitenGales, some pencils and a few small needles in the colors I don't need ( which I would have bought if the were in the larger sizes and repainted).( I even prodded Don S. at Red Top why he doesn't stock them)
It totally frustrating. I have taken in the last 3 weeks more mid twenty pound to low 30 pound bass than I have had all year. They want needles and they want purple black or eel colored. Who makes the best needle, Habs. I got to get some, nope don't have any of those. I don't want pencils or nightengales or whatever I want needles and so do a lot of others.
I am sorry John. I have always respected you and I am and will still continue to be a fan of your stuff, which I will still gladly mention in anything I write that has anything to do with a needlefish being employed to take bass. Just need your best product and there ain't any.
(I still think that Hab's and Gibbs merger with John running the whole show and D&D as the backing would bring back Gibbs overall quality and give Hab's Plugs the means to satisfy demand and still put out the Mur-eels, Atom 40's and other classics. That would be the ultimate in a plug company.)
This is ended, peace out.
