Well I'm getting a lot of votes for Gibbs. I think I'm gonna get a gibbs standard needlefish and why not, the gibbs stubby too. I've got some extra cash that I've been saving for a rainy day.
For the Darter, I'm still stuck between Superstrike and Gibbs.
The other things I'm getting:
some 10 inch Fin-S (For when the Shad and alewives are around, I'm gonna knock the stripers dead.)
some 9 inch Sluggos.
Swivels(75lb test) and duolock Snaps #54s
Atom Jr. in that "Sunrise" color Ditch was talking about.
1 Oz. rigged rubber eel with replacements.
30 lb fluorocarbon.
If you couldn't tell, I'm targeting big fish this year
I'm gonna go down to The Surfcaster since it is relatively close. I'm assuming that this catalog they've handed out isn't all the stuff, correct? Why wouldn't they put the Gibbs lures in there? I'm hoping I can pick up the darter(if I decide to go with Gibbs otherwise I'll grab the Superstrike) and the needlefish and the stubby one down at that shop as well.
On an interesting side note, if you look at page 23, all the way at the bottom, there is a special jig head for eelskin rigs. It has a hole in the middle so water can flow through. I don't have access to eel skins but I thought some of you guys who do might be interested in it.
