Coming In 08'
Its a "Danny-Type" lure......it will not be called a "Danny" but it is one! (Name is forthcoming) 6 1/4 inches long and 3 ounces. They will be available with eyes and "blind"! They will be available with 2 belly trebles and a dressed siwash or just 1 belly treble and 1 tail treble (which is how I prefer mine).

Yup! Limited! I find the "Danny" a tough sell.....there are a few good ones out there. However I have had a few folks request these so I have been working on getting them just right....and they are. So we will see how they sell, and how folks like them.  My numbers figure to be less than 300 available for the season. |

Can I ask a dumb question?
if so...
why not call a danny a danny??? 
copyright issue??.. if so.. has it been tested lately?
at this point in time, i think it refers more to a style of swimmer... than anything else.... and more than one lure company sells dannys...
just wondering.. while i'm eatin my lunch... |

Hi Karl.....I probably missed you on your lunch hour? Anyway...in answer to your question about the name. Dennis Ryan who owns Gibbs approached me at the RISSA show in March and nicely asked me not to use the "Danny" name......claiming they owned the rights to it, blah, blah, blah! Now I know alot of people make them and they all call them "Danny's"......and I doubt if any of them were ever approached and I also doubt that Gibbs owns the name.......but I like Dennis and he asked me as a gentleman so.....whats a guy to do? They will be called something else.....obviously they are "Danny's" and I will refer to them as "Danny-style" lures regardless. You can't please all the people all of the time!  |

It amazes me that Danny's are such a tough sell - they are my favorite plug to fish.
See you at RISAA  |

Pearl?......But of course!
Maybe not that they are a hard sell as there are many different builders who make them and I need to test the market before I go too crazy! Its hard to get fishermen to try anything new! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

that isn't exactly true , just post some pics on the internet with the plug in some slobs face. I think it's partially true the not knowing if it works part and the too cheap to shell out some money part if they already have something that works.
anyway, I like Dennis, he is a nice guy.
good luck Larry, you have good paint skills. |

You should sell them just fine, everything I own with a Bigfish name on it has worked so far, you can count me in for a pair when they are available. I know you test your designs enough for me to even worry about it. |

I told you guys this a long time ago. They trademarked the "word mark" only which was the drawing of the word.

Gonna chime in one more time, and apologize in advance for the "Left Turn" your thread took Larry...
But.. this whole thing to me, would be like if Ford told the other companies, you can't call that a pick-up truck, or if Chrylser sadi, no one else can call these mini-vans...
Danny's, Pikies, Danny's, Needlefish, Spook's, Darters.. etc.... the name tells a type.. a design..a certain action.. something we all know what to expect it will do... call it Larry, Curly or Moe, but if it's a Danny.. it's a Danny!
Peace |
