i'm going to dress almost everything from now on. three cast in with a dressed gibbs, a fish exploded on it. jumped about 2ft in the air.(and took it due to a poorly tied knot

) the other gibbs i had was an exact replica (i learned my lesson two nights before about only having one of each plug with you) that i didnt have a dressing for. and all i got in about 40 minutes was a small bump at it.

so from now on everything gets a dressing. until i find out otherwise theyd prefer it with out.

while on the topic though.. how big of a difference does the color make. ie: a white dressing on a black plug or vice versa? is it more effective to color code OR clash colors?
