Don't know, but the plastic ones crush fish.

It is all relative. Unless you have fished the bigger darters you have nothing to compare the plastic one to. The plastic work, but more like a subsurface needle than a darter in all but the fastest water. The wide wooden plugs are a class above that.

Then again, I never liked the skinny Gibbs darter either and that is a very good plug for some people so there is always more to learn.
