Knothome, does the lure action differ much with the wooden bibs?

You used to be able to buy replacement plastic bibs for them, but I'm not sure if they are still available (bibs).

I love those Lures

The old yellowbelly Nilsmasters
When I went to Steep for the first time Cleggie sold me a few at the time I think they were $22 (10yrs ago)
They were the only lures the Sharkies would take, one bloke offered me $50 for one of my spares
I told him he could borrow one and pay me only if he lost it or killed it.

I still have 2 in my lure box
Can you still get them ???

Its Sambo Time !!

Wodden ones were good at steep but the only prob i had was when they smacked on the cliff edge a few times they would loose there action.

No probs with metal bib ones
