Anyone seen these yet? Appears to be a new release, maybe a repurpose of some existing features out there.

they look like dreamweaver spinDr flashers, which I love. The spinDr flashers come out of the water better - seems to have less slack on exit. Also I can use a smaller flasher with still excellent action.

The Gibbs did not offset the rear swivel though, I wonder if the action would be as radical.

Thanks. The perfectionist in me wonders why Dream Weaver doesn’t put a metal insert inside the connector hole where the snaps connect to. If you notice all of the salt water flashers, they have the metal insert on both ends. What if a 40 pound tyee hooked onto a Dream Weaver flasher/lure. Do you think that hole without an insert will last?
 
OK I tried taking some pics of the 'attachment holes without grommets' but no results worth the looking.

Anyway I have three 12" models all have caught all kinds of fish and none shows any significant wear you really have to squint to see anything different between the used and unused ones -and once I put a snap on I leave it/couldn't care less what direction the thing turns in.

As to the mythical 40# fish it'll be fought with the similar drag to a 14# unit.
