Here is my super sized gibbs trolling plug. I tried it out last weekend and it seems to swim good. I made the lip and I made the hangers out of titanium Also my 5 year old quality control specialist, snow white herself. They don't pull and punches and tell it like it is. I only made 2 so I am now starting a bunch more, some with sloped heads, for next spring. Should be done by then. P.

I'll carry this too far. Down in the cellar I found some other stuff and pretty slow around here so here goes. Needles. BM influenced big ones the thinner ones I just liked the look of.

A few of my own design. Like the metal ones I make. Out of maple and weighted like BM does. Also some big Polaris types.
