many of them are mint and have never hit the water. you can only fish so many. as I buy them I always tell myself that there will be a time for each. at the same time this camera seems to refurbish them. many of them have dings and multiple fish to their credit but like you said look like they never hit the water. with the exception of the r.m. smith swimmers and some others picture I haven't taken that many fish on metal lips but to me there is nothing better than watching a fish hit a swimmer on top. i do better with them each season. i'd say for me that needles out fish metal lip swimmers 10 to 1. |

bob,
sent you a pm about the pencil popper.

A bit hard to understand. I've spent thousands of hours (no exaggeration) fishing midsized Dannys over the last 20 years. I've used them almost exclusively day after day all season long year after year plugging from my boat for bass. The friend I fish with has even more time retrieving them. There are LOTS of days when a white Gibbs Danny will outfish every Lupo and Beachmaster I own, and I own a lot. You can also modify a Gibbs, by adding weight and changing hook size, to do anything a Beachmaster can do. The Beachmasters are the nicest made of the bunch, so if you like to hang your plugs they are what you want, but if you plan to fish them...they all work (or can be made to work) just fine. Now darters, needles, atoms, and cowboys........there Beachmaster is worth paying more for in my experience. By the way, rumor has it BM is planning a run of no eye Dannys in both sizes for next year. |

Hey Flap, here's some more Beachmaster green and silver for ya. I think the top one is rare. It is made of unweighted pine, not maple. Weighs 2 oz as opposed to the usual three. Swims nearer the surface. I'm not sure if it was a manufacturing mistake, or whether he actually had a line of pine darters for special order.

I agree, and the white gibbs work well from the beaches also. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
