Skip, the people who make those plugs probably get paid about a dollar a day. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy them, or Mike shouldn't sell them...but it's not like the local builders are making that much of a margin...

Don't get me wrong they are some fantastic plugs. Habs, Tattoo etc are great plugs. But i find it tough for me personaly to pay $20 for one plug. For me a cheaper alternative is better. So for me this new cheaper line of plugs is worth looking into. Then again, i dont really need anymore plugs! |

If they make a dollar a day why are they still in business? Not being a wise ass but just asking a question.
I went to the springfield fishing show where there was a perselling imported lures for the surf (needles, dannies, poppers, darters) for 3$ each. I tested the lures that I bought and they all swam great (except for one danny) and caught tons of blue fish. |

I think Gibbs is the company most likely to take a major hit from a cheaper alternative wooden plug.

I'm surprised that they made a darter and jointed eel first - those are two tough plugs....

I agree, a Darter is a bold move. That thing looks like a cross of a Tattoo and a Beachmaster. Then again there's only so many ways to make a Darter.
