Horrible news
For me at least. I was trying to stock up on Gibbs canal specials yesterday (not the new pro series, but the old ones). I couldn't find them anywhere. I ended up calling Gibbs Lures and they told me they will now only be making the pro series. Even though the new ones have better hardware (tripple splits and VMCs) and eyes, it throws their flight off, and I'm probably losing ten to fifteen yards on my cast. Many times that lure gave me that extra edge, and people that have fished with me know that it was my go to lure. It is a sad day for me, but all good things must come to an end, and there is more than one way to skin a cat. I might start loading Gags sea specials or something. I'm meeting Pete L. after work today to test out some that Al has made for him. If anybody has any old white canals they don't want anymore shoot me a PM.
