Buried under the big pile of "important stuff" I managed to find the 96 Aug OTW which featured Flaptail's article of Stan Gibbs and Gibb's lures. I had put on one of those yellow sticky papers to mark this article back in 96 as a must save. Steve talks alot about his meetings with the man from the time when Steve was a youngin up to recent years. He discusses the development of a variety of Gibb's lures like the darter, polaris, pencil popper, canal special etc, and why Stan developed them to do what they do under certain conditions. It's a good read if you still got it.

Thanks Martin for remembering this one. It's a nice compliment to Charley's article in the Fisherman last week
