Stan Gibbs Lures Danny Pro Series – 4.5" / 1.5 oz
A downsized version of the legendary surfcasting plug, the Stan Gibbs Danny Pro Series 4.5" 1.5 oz delivers the same iconic rolling topwater action in a compact profile. Designed to match smaller, mid-season profile baitfish—such as peanut bunker, spearing, silversides, and small mullet—this wooden swimmer rides high on the surface film, creating an irresistible V-wake that draws aggressive strikes from lurking game fish.
Built with the Pro Series standards, this 4.5-inch lure bridges the gap between lighter tackle fishing and heavy saltwater performance. It features a full thru-wire construction paired with heavy-duty stainless steel hardware to ensure that despite its smaller footprint, it holds up against hard-fighting coastal predators without structural failure.

Performance & Presentation
-
Downsized Bait Match: Ideal when game fish are keyed in on smaller forage that larger 6-inch or 8-inch plugs overpower.

Surface Retrieve: Reel at a slow, steady pace to keep the metal lip churning the surface. The wide body roll creates maximum surface vibration even on light retrieves.
-
Adjustable Metal Lip: Bend the stainless metal lip slightly downward to keep the plug riding high on the surface, or tweak it upward to help it dive a few inches down under light chop or faster current.
-
Optimal Conditions: Highly effective in calm bays, estuaries, shallow flats, breaches, and backwaters during early morning, dusk, or night sessions.
