Haven't bought any in years, so I can't speak for the current vintage, but I've caught many good fish on Gibbs Dannys. I liked to drill out the weight, add a larger one (3/8 x 1/2 "), cut off the tail hook (leaving the bucktail) and use 3/0's on the belly. My friend, however, who is a better fisherman than I fishes them right out of the package and does just fine with them the way they come.
