So those are actually the smaller versions of the Gibbs Polaris. Close to the 2-1/4 oz. Gibbs not the 3-1/2 mostly used on the canal. With that deep a cut in the face they might dig in too deep and torpedo rather than the shallow cup face of the standard Gibbs which was designed to stay up on the surface and put up a big spray rather than a deeper gurgle and thus the torpedo factor. The way Stan designed them was for the shallow cup to make the plug put up a good spray on the surface but also when a bass missed or swirled you can just ease back slowly with very light tension and make it swim gently side to side. A deeper cup will not allow you to do that. I think they are too nice to fish so that being the case send the red/yellow ones and blue/white ones to me and I will add them to my collection for safe Keeping!

Why even try.........
