The Gibbs Bottle plugs are great in rough water. Really dig in. Problem we always had with them was the contoured lip would wear out from hitting the rocks and the plug wouldn't swim as good. Super Strike plastic models last a little bit longer but still get dinged up. My friend Zeke took care of that by fitting the Gibbs wood bottle plugs with a metal lip that he would grind to shape and insert over the contoured lip - then rewire the plug. The lip was then protected for use in rocky areas. I've tried for quite a few years to get a plug maker to build a casting swimmer with a metal lip - make it right and it will be in demand. Anyone willing to experiment?
