Guys, did any of you get this "threatening email"?
I open my email to find this threatening suprise...

- it's to bad that you haven't a clue of what your talking about in regards
to Gibbs Lures. I hope you know more about fishing than you think you know
about Gibbs product and construction .
We would love to see the supposed split lures that you and your supposed
buddies speak of. Just a little info so that you won't appear so ignorant
in the future.
1) any of the screw eye style plugs are made of birch (read this BIRCH) not
pine as you speak of.
2) most of the line of plugs are made from sugar pine for your info and
happens to grow in the northwest not the northeast. also sugar pine is
perhaps the most expensive type of wood used in plug construction but is
used mainly for its bouncy properties.
3) all of the screw eye style plugs have been tested to a minimum of 80
lbs. pull on the smallest style to over a 100 lbs. load on the larger.
4) weighting of the plugs hasn't changed since final designs
5) not all plugs have tail weights (and never have)
I am not sure what you and your friends have to gain by lying about a
tried and proven product other than to listen to each others bull.
PERHAPS YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS HAVE HEARD OF A THING CALLED " SLANDER" ? On
second thought that is perhaps a dumb question having read some of your
commentary.
I would also offer to you or your friends as we do all of our customers
that we stand behind our product and will replace any items found to be
defective due to manufacture not normal wear and tear free of charge.
Perhaps your friend w/ " 6" defective darters would like to send them back
???????
GIBBS lures
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of Email
Now I'm no lawyer, but this seems to be a threatening letter. Unjustifiably sending this when I have done nothing wrong but state what happened to my lure. As I recall, all I said was the tail hook of a casting swimmer cracked off on me. I didn't even say this was a common occurence. All my other Gibbs plugs have worked just fine from a wear and tear viewpoint. I would prefer through wired but I have no problems with screw eyes.
This puts the final nail in the coffin I guess. I will never, EVER buy a Gibbs product again. Superstrike, Habs, and these other companies will get my business from now on. If this is how the company treats its customers, I'd hate to see how it treats their competitors.
Hey Ditch, according to my informative email, we are friends now! When do ya wanna get married?
This weekend sound good to you?
