My go to Gibbs Plugs are the Pencil Popper and the Polaris Popper
My all time favorite was the old Casting Swimmer (or Bottle Plug) but my recent purchases have not had the same action as the vintage plugs.
That or old-timers has kicked in early.
Is it me?
I do like the New Colors

I just picked up a couple of them Beachmaster dannys at the MSBA show, and I can't wait to swim them. They're just sweet.
As far as Gibbs...I'll go with a black needlefish or a yellow darter.

I just wish they hadn't jacked up the price on those Beachmasters even futher - $20 dressed with hooks.... Up a couple from last year... But it's a G R E A T swimming plug

I know...I kind of blew my "allowance" on them, but I did save a couple bucks with the boxes of hooks and split rings I've already got. It still was a hard trigger to pull, but the black/yellow/silver and the white with pink just needed to be in my surf bag. Needless to say I don't think they'll be cooming out for blind casting. They will be joining some Hab's Needles in the "Reserved for times when you know the large are in" section of the surf bag.

If it makes you feel any better, white/pink Cowboys go between $22 and $25 a pop on LI.

The Pencils are my favorite and though I love the MAcs I have to say my most productive is the White with red head

 And I thought the Yo-zuri's were too expensive at $10-12.....if they cost twice as much do they catch fish 2 at a time?  |

NIB, those pink macs are highly sought after by the canal guys. When you come back up, don't leave home without it.  |
