yeah I think the thru pins that look like nails held hangers for the hooks or the hooks themselves. Looks like something a machinist would concoct, friggin nit wits.

As I own the first Gibbs plug ever made which is a slant faced popper and having been told by Stan of the story of it's development I was very excited to see your post. Thanks for sharing as it lends some more history to the Gibbs legacy. Stan readily admitted seeing something he thought had a lot of potential as well as some freshwater CCBco poppers which he took note of also.

Thats a bit of Striper fishing history she has there. Tell her to take good care of it.

Flap.
Why even try.........

I saw the color and thought of Gibbs #1 immediately. Then waited for Flap's input..cool stuff thanks.
