John--I guess me and your brother-in-law are a lot alike in a few ways. I stand by my criticism. I'm looking right now at two darters, one 1-5/8 oz, one 2-1/4 or whatever the larger size weighs. The smaller one---which by the way doesn't even have a hook gouge on it yet---is cracked from the tail past the belly screw eye. Not just cracked, split. The larger one has two hairline cracks spreading from the tail, one on each side. They're both white, and I can tell you that these are both "new" Gibbs. Know how to tell really easy? I do. The white plugs made by the Gibbs family and Griecci have blue eyes--the new ones have red eyes.
I have no idea who Sea Wolf is, if Dennis, Dan or one of the other Gibbsies is reading this. The guys who walk up to your booth at the shows and stroke your egos aren't the guys who are more and more walking away from your plugs, guys. I know you guys read the net every day. I've been in the room when you've called another webmaster whining about what guys are saying about your product. Instead of whining, fix what's ailing your product, my two cents.
BTW--it's no one's fault but your own that you overpaid Griecci for a name that he had done a pretty good job of running into the ground. Starting off your reign by jacking up prices 40% in the first two years was bad business.
BTW---while I have your ears--whose bright idea was it to broaden and flatten the lower lip on the bottle swimmers? Someone recently gave me a gift of a couple, and I noticed something odd about the lip right away.
