Tsunami Timber Lures (Pencils, Poppers, and Needlefish)

[fishbones]

I'd be curious to hear how they are if anyone tests them. But, at $15 a pop, they better be good. That's still a lot of money for a fishing lure to a lot of people. There are plenty of proven wooden plugs for close enough to that price that I'm very happy with. The Superstrike Littleneck poppers are cheaper than the Tsunami's and I know they work great and can take a beating.

As for the designs, they do look like Gibbs and Hab's knockoffs. I guess that's to be expected from a mass producer. Why try to find a new design when there are enough proven one's already out there?

Too many others out there, to get these.

I wonder if they sent a thank you note to Gibbs.

It really pisses me off that companies can do this, too bad Stan didn't do patent rights on his designs.

And Luds youre right chinese crap all the way, thier faults will eventually show, just like the chinese Creek Chubs.

Gertrude Stien characterized people who mimicked others as "measuring worms." A measuring worm is one who "measures the great art he sees, and copies it badly."
It's just like a Habs, but there were a lot of things Habs did that can't be measured or discerned visually. They only look the same, they don't fish the same.

maybe sub'd out to the same factories / sweat shops putting out the RI lures? they look a bit similar.

eels'll work
