Can someone tell me who makes or made this plug? I got it from a guy that I work with. Thanks Mark.

Gibbs GTS Troller!

Thanks. Any idea how old it might be?

Hard to say. I have the exact one as a wall hanger, 2oz. GTS2 which was purchased in the seventies. I've taken the GTS3 & GTS2's and made templates and recreated the plug. The lips have to be customized to match O.E. Usually a-40 & A-jr lips are the ones I redo.

Not to change the subject but your flo yel/wht Danny I traded for @ Plugfest swims terrific. Holds in a nice chop also.

It does weight 2oz. and he told me it was his uncles from a long time ago. I'll definitely be hanging it.

As far as the danny goes thanks. I have to thank professorM he hooked me up with a master.:btu:

Some finished up in the last week or two. New weighting on the BlueStreak/A40, ones I made last year had a little too much roll. Darter is a kit although I did a Frech darter this week and needs to be tested, looks good but we shall see if it swims. Big pikie's on the list for this week.

wao SGT, you on the fast lane dude. good job.

Well it's Sunday AM, coffee in hand. What's everyone up too?

Some Nanner's for my buddy, Blue one on bottom had an incident with the spinner last night :wall:

BlueStreak 40's and Jr's and a small loaf of bread

A few more, 8.5" Nike and 6.5", Musso Bottle and a Cap'n Bill's

I like your slices of bread Sarge
you been busy

Been turning for a couple hours....private stock for me and the Mrs. to fish from the yak!! Some small Gibbs polaris, some Creek Chub Wigglers with the Snook Bait Co. "Weasel" tail treatment for fun! Also got my hands on a large CCBC Surf Darter so....trying a few of them! Coffee break right now....good day to be in the shop!
:uhuh:

Nice work Sarge...love the Nike's!

Have alot of unfinished plugs I have to finish.......CCBC Surfster copy, some MasterLure and Snook Bait Co. copies, a few custom "Flaptail" plugs for me! Gonna be a busy next few weeks!

I've got several to finish up before I call it quits for a while. Almost ready are a larger Crappie glider and a smaller bass popper. Here are a couple of CCBCO Wiggler copies that I've made, along with a nice original.

Old Man aka Bob

Rowhunter.....you ever fish any of those Wigglers? Their action is awesome! Speaking of awesome....love your copies....paint is fantastic!!:uhuh:

Love them Wiggler's, and super paint!!
Larry, get to work, I want to see the CCBC stuff, you know I like that stuff. Also let us know how you make out on the CC Surf Darter, I have a few turned all a little different. when I get some time I need to test with several weighting patterns. Right now I need to get some big plugs done, big bunka will be here any day!!

Awesome! It ought to be a blast to fish that!

OMG, largemouth bass candy:uhuh:

I'm done for now. Did the Pichney 5 1/8" Danny ( bootleg shape) surface (cedar) & shallow sub surface(yellow pine). Extensive testing and trial :WHEW!. Did a few sea pup spooks. & a few big water 3.5oz needles.Time to fish,already got 2 fish in local river.

I finished the last two I was working on, and started two more for a fund raiser at my son's High School. The two completed are a realistic Crappie glide bait made from 7/8" maple, 5 1/2" long weighing 3oz. It is a slow sinking glider dropping at about 1 foot per second. I like to use these type baits when fishing parallel to a nice deep weed line, say 14'. Toss it out, count down to 5-7 feet and begin that slow tap cadence walk the dog at that weed line, just defying those ambush predators to make a move. That's a blast! The other is a much smaller popper made from WRC, 4" and 1oz, should get those large and smallmouth bass moving all season.

I thought I might post a picture of where I'll be using all of these baits as well, beautiful Vilas county Wisconsin.
