RIP ...Stan....about a year before he passed on at a salties meeting Stan did a how to making his needleskin and how to fish them.He always carried one on the rod and one in his back pocket in a plastic cigar tube..best part was these plug's weren't sealed or painted..you could make them from 1/2-5/8 or 3/4 dowels depending on the size you liked best....then at the same meeting he gave away all his vintage gibbs,,ccb's and other's he had hanging on his pegboard downstairs.I was lucky to get a few..then a few meeting's later, he asked me if I'd buy his fishing gear he had left..I said sure, but never saw him again.Next thing I heard he was gone.....He was a great teacher of fishing to all and bent over backwards for kids....I do miss him.
