Some different Gibbs Pencils. All are 2-3/4 oz. except the Yellow Canal Special. The Squid one with three hooks is an original. When that size came out it had three trebles then they got changed to 2 trebles and I don't know why. Anyway the Yellow Pencil with 3 trbles is a Fifty Year Anniversary plug that Gibbs put out in 1996. The Yellow Canal Special has a story to it and Dave LaPorte caught a 55 pounder at Pole 155 on this plug. There is a Purple Squid, a different design squid with the eyes at the rear end to look more like a squid I guess. The silver/black Mack at the center is the only one I know of.
