There were several. Gibbs made the Skipper which had just a treble at the tail, the Skipper 2 which added a belly hook, and another lure called the Jack Rabbit. That was flat sided like a Roberts or a Ballistic Missile, but made from wood. Single hook at the tail, but I can't remember whether it came with a treble or a single

The Ballistic Missile was made by Arnold Spofford on the Vineyard.
