I didn't jump in to bash Gibbs or anyone else for that matter. Check my plug bag. It's loaded with Gibbs. All I'm saying is that for the last couple of years, I've seen some lesser quality than in the past. I would hate to see the company go down because of it.
I realize all the hard work that goes into the wooden plug making business. Even the casual spinner can attest to the amount of work.
Anyways, it wasn't meant as a bash. I just think the time is ripe for them to get a handle on the problems if the want to keep the name and history out there. I did write a letter explaining the way I felt and not in a confrontational manner.

Wouldn't mind getting my hands on a few of yours.
Seriously though, it's not even about that either. I just don't want to see them disappear.

Is the retailer buying seconds and passing them off as something else?

I live in RI and I nominate myself as the quality control guy if they'll have me. Never really had any problems with them, but I do pick them over and make my decision as if adopting a young child. Gotta make sure I get the best one, you know.

Domination takes full concentration..
