old gibbs popper copy
 

got a beater from a flea market...love the look of the face...never thrown one, we used atoms:ss:I got to put some lead in it its only a oz...white ceder...7 inches

Looks good

Looks nice. Could almost be a slider too with a couple mods.
cool plug

Looks like a bass bug on steroids Ed.That thing is going to throw some water.:cheers:

Been thinking of copying the same plug. Get the weight right and it will be more than a popper.

It looks like a WY popper also

I heard back in the day sharpys liked to naw that bottom point off.. don't know .. never fished one...

The biggest fish stiil to this day ever taken on a plug in the canal was on one of Stan's 4-1/2 oz. Castalure poppers in blue. I beleive it was in the late fifties and the guys name was Machado.

Top Water to die for !!!!!

I'm looking at the picture in Ivanoff's book. Frank Machado's 63 pounder. That's the plug, looks like a mackeral pattern:wiggle:
