Well, Tom Davis of Rhys Davis has sold to Gibbs-Delta....going to be interesting to see what the future holds.
.....it's the end of an era.

Had lunch with Tom not so long ago, great guy. End of an era for sure.

I hope Tom enjoys life after work. I spoke to him today and he hinted that life after work may involve getting back into a little more of the politics of fishing. That is good news as he is a very intelligent guy and someone we can well use on our team again.

Great for Tom. Hope the new owners continue to provide good products!

Good for Tom. I hope he enjoys retirement. TC and I had the pleasure of meeting him at the ferry terminal on the way home from the Seattle boat show this year.

I sure hope the legacy continues .

Good for Tom...surely he won't fade away...hmm I wonder if he kept the old super herring teaser mold...

Told me he was also going to work on his golf swing...

Yep, I was chatting with Tom today and he was saying his plans were to lower his handicap, fish more, and help out when he could. What a solid guy Tom is.

 

[Derby]

Yes he is...

Any word on whether this is going to effete the product at all? Or is Gibbs simply taking over the molds and putting their name on the product?! Hope there aren't changes… both the chovie and herring are staples!

 

[Jetboater]

everything is going to stay the same. even the packaging.

Wwoooooo!!!
