Mike P, I'm a fisherman, who loves to fish the surf more than anything else. I was trying to be as political as possible, but yet trying to make my point. I am not affiliated to any lure manufacturer, nor ever was, if that's what might have crossed your mind or were curious.
I am assuming someone from Gibbs Lures reads these boards from time to time or someone that knows them does and can forward our bad experiences to this manufacturer. I used to love Gibbs Lures, but the plugs are just not the same, as we have seen and are discussing here. Right now, Gibbs only makes 3 lures that no one else does - Darters, Trolling Swimmers, and Bottle Plugs. I have not looked at a TS yet since the new ones have come out, so I cannot comment on those. I noticed your point about the GS'es and will make it a point to check them out soon; I don't have any new ones. I really don't fish them much anyhow. But, the lure that hurts me the most is their Darter. Wanna know another way to tell the new ones from the last ones made? Check out the top of the lure...notice how the lure is now more "angled" and not a smooth transition to the back? I can't believe these things are cracking/splitting like they are. That's poor! I have no problem w/ the being thru-wired because the screws are very long, epoxied in, and rarely move, never mind come out. But, please Gibbs, fix that lure! If someone else made these same lures, but better, I'd jump on their bandwagon quick.
Feel free to drop me an email if you want...
