If they make a dollar a day why are they still in business? Not being a wise ass but just asking a question.

I went to the springfield fishing show where there was a perselling imported lures for the surf (needles, dannies, poppers, darters) for 3$ each. I tested the lures that I bought and they all swam great (except for one danny) and caught tons of blue fish.

I think Gibbs is the company most likely to take a major hit from a cheaper alternative wooden plug.

I'm surprised that they made a darter and jointed eel first - those are two tough plugs....

I agree, a Darter is a bold move. That thing looks like a cross of a Tattoo and a Beachmaster. Then again there's only so many ways to make a Darter.
