Gibbs Three Hook Darters

[WoodyCT]

Stuck home with a sick kid, so figured I'd add to this great thread on a great plug.

Note the differences between the yellow and white in terms of shape and hook placement.

I'D LOVE TO HEAR SOME INPUT ON HOW THE DIFFERENT SHAPES AND DIFFERENT HOOK PLACEMENTS FISH COMPARED TO ONE ANOTHER.

The standard and the smaller size he mentioned. This is an oldy from Stan or John that has never seen water.

Not too many people will have fished that yellow version. That was the original design but was only built for several years before he changed it, moving the hooks back and the weight forward to avoid front hook catching on the diving plane. There is a lot of variation in the width of the nose and angle of the chin over the years as well.

George- If you get the urge to clone the little ones I have a willing DNA donor for you.
