If you can find some older ones with the original style GTS lip they are great plugs to troll on wire. The Gibbs guys are about to launch a new/old version with the original style lip instyead of the Danny lip that Jim G. went to when he ran the company. This will be a better plug than it has been for 15 odd years now.
Some guys I know throw the GTS in the surf ( the big one) and do quite well.
My biggest Bluefish came on a 3oz. Blue Mackerel GTS under a full moon in a raging Old Man rip sou'east of Nantucket back one September night a long time ago with Bob Peremian on his Fortier "Foolish Pleasure". The Bluefish weighed 23-2/4 pounds plus I had five large bass to 42 pounds and a bunch of smaller blues on it.
Best wire line fight I ever had.
