Gibbs Danny Surface Swimmer
The Gibbs Danny Surface Swimmer is a classic among swimming plugs. The Danny derives its swimming action from a fulcrum point “amid ships” compared to the nose action of the smaller minnow type plugs. This unique action simulates larger baitfish, which should be kept in mind when retrieving so that the plug is not over fished. Let the current do most of the work, and vary your retriever as you move the bait through different types of water. An occasional jerk of the rod tip that causes the plug to spurt or splash lightly can be very effective. At night however, a steadier retrieve is more desirable. Fine-tuning should be restricted to the stainless wire eye of the plug, leaving the pan lip in its original shape. Bend the eye up slightly to obtain a deeper retriever, and down for more surface action. Unlike our direct tie recommendation with other plugs, the Danny will work better from a black “Duo Lock” snap or better yet a Tactical Angler Clip for a freer swimming action. A swivel is not needed. Remember, keep those hooks sharp and re-tie frequently to keep fresh line at the business end of your efforts. Leave this lure in the water for as long as you can bear it, as its dead-slow wobble will entice fish to become aggressive and strike.
