I just refuse to buy Gibbs, too many bad experiences with crappy paint finishes, broken barrel swivels and swimmers that don't swim right. I've looked online at some of the LI shops and they seem to have incredible selection and stock. They carry plugs that have a great following out at Montauk, like LIfishVT darters, Jay1 customs, R.M. Smith and J.N-Ski. Knowing the insatiable demand there is for custom wood plugs I'm curious to hear if you plan on expanding the brands of wood that you carry. Thanks. |
I'd say the Saltwater Edge selection is pretty stout in terms of plug selection in comparison to most shops though I would love it if they added LIfishVT. Those plugs are very fishy and extremely durable.
If you have not already I would recommend giving some of the Afterhours plugs a shot......especially the needlfish. Super Strike being another obvious choice though it's not wood of course and you shouldn't overlook Tattoo.
The J.N.-Ski and Jay 1 plugs look nice but I'm not sure how proven they are up this way.
