New Gibbs lures

[Rob Rockcrawler]

I have a gibbs pencil thats bout 5 years old and it is has caught more fish than anything else in the box. Its been repainted and rigged up too many times. I spray it with epoxy a few times a year just to try and keep it floating. HAvent had it fail yet, maybe i got a good one. I finally bought a replacement a couple weeks ago at mikes. HAvent used it yet. IT was the fist gibbs i have bought since i got the lucky pencil. There is no doubt that they cant hold a candle to AH, HAbs, etc., in quality. But man that plug catches fish, its a confidence thing. If i lose that old pice of repainted, semi floating wood i will prolly have a moment of silence for her. Might not even throw the replacement out of respect.

Flap, FYI I work more than 80 hours a week. I am not burning out, nor am I half-way there. I am constantly producing needles. I am a custom builder. I am not a company like Budweiser, I'm more like a microbrewery. The people who appreciate Sam Adams don't really care how much Budweiser makes. The demand is high and I sell everything I make, for which I am grateful. My help is competent. Every year my production increases, as does the demand. At HAB'S quality is not PRO, it's STANDARD. Just because something is made in great quanities doesn't mean it's of high quality. If you feel you can do a quality plug in numbers , you should give it a try. I've been through this song and dance with you before. There's always somebody who has the answer for everything. No one is going to reinvent the wheel, but if you are going to try, you should change it a little. Just remember Flap HAB'S NEEDLES have caught more confirmed large than any other wooden needlefish on the market today. Can you keep up with that demand. I think not.. Have a nice day and good fishing. HAB'S

John how many times have I been told by you yourself that you were tired and did not know how much longer you could keep up with it? Was that a bullsh*t line to me? I don't understand? Please explain because what you just said in your post is not what I heard from you John and you know it! I only repeat what I heard and I heard that from you, if it's not true then why say the same thing to me practically everytime we meet because the problem is I beleived you! Why would you say that to me then? I am confused and your making is me look stupid and that I don't appreciate it at all. I have always and still do promote your product in my columm and ask for nothing in return. What the hell is going on here?????? I DEMAND AN ANSWER AND A THRUTHFULL ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
