In the last pic of all the small Gibbs stuff is a popper that was never rigged. It is not a Gibbs even though it looks like it. Anyone know what that one is?

Can you tell me who made that yellow darter just above that unrigged mystery popper w/ the black tiger stripes?

I have some plugs like yours that I haven't a clue who made. I guess I gotta line them up and take some pics.

I'm a newbie at these old plugs. Wish the lures could talk and tell me cool stories.

Some of the other swimmers are Murats also. Charlie's son-in law, Dave was a good friends of mine. I was a pall bearer for him when he died in 94. He has a surfcaster, hooked up, carved into his headstone.Called the swimmers the Conneticut Yankee
