1/2oz. or 3/4oz. gibbs pencils
 
I'm trying to duplicate some small gibbs pencils to throw at smallies. Does anyone have the dimensions of the 1/2 or 3/4oz. pencils? Thanks

I don't have a 3/4 oz but if the 1/2 oz one is the one with no belly hook and 4.7" long, then it has a small shot of lead 1" from the tail, might be a 00 buckshot, or at least that's what I used in some blanks I got from the guy in VT who made them. At the tip it measures 1/4", fattest point is 0.55" at the 1" from back weight point, then at the tail it measures about 5/16 or so. Use screw eyes and use birch or maple.

Great plug for sandy beaches with lots of sandeels

I've got one you can borrow and swim if you want. It will need hooks. You can give it back at plugfest. Pm me your address if you want.
