Ya, know, it's unfortunate that Gibbs Lures doesn't look into their product line more and listen to what people are saying. We've all vented recently about their prices. They really are driving themselves out of the market today and other manufacturers are making the same type of lures with better quality, better results, and most importantly, good feedback. I've heard many shops are no longer going to carry the Gibbs Line.
I've used Gibbs Lures many years and have seen a couple new owners come along and leave. I must say that I am displeased with their newest designs of existing lures. Their Pencil Poppers and Darters have changed, and as a result changed their performance.
As long as I can remember, Gibbs Darters have always been screw eyed and not through wired. I have original 3-hook Darters that are screw eyed. I'm just mad that they do not swim the same anymore. Lesser quality.
If companies like Habs, Lex, and others continue making a quality plug at a reasonable price, I can't see Gibbs surviving unless they change from relying on their name to producing a quality product that makes anglers happy.
