Wow Flap!
Some of those babies are in such nice shape they look like they could have been made yesterday!!
I am sure it took you quite some time to put together your collection?
I would love to be able to collect some of the oldies but nowadays with the fools and their money you cant find a good deal for the most part!!
Hope ya got them insured!!
Wow is right! Nice collection, Flap. Thanks for sharing a gander at those beauties.
Good evening everyone....errrr....argggg....my name is errr...aaa...BigFish and I am a plugoholic!:laugha: It did not start off to be a bad thing.....early on, I just bought plugs to throw at the fishies, maybe catch a few......sometimes I would lose one, you know, and then I would have to buy more.......and then came the web-site......yeah, the web-site!!!! Striped-Bass they called it...."its a ball" they said...."give it a try" they said so I did......and then came.....THE PLUG FORUM!!!!! A place where colorful, seductive, handmade plugs are posted in picture, discussed, traded and bandied about like gold bullion......yeah.....thats when it happened......I was hooked (no pun intended)!!! Soon afterwards a guy sells me a mini-lathe...."make plugs" he says.....now look at me......alaskan yellow cedar stacked in the pantry next to the Cheerios, wood shavings in the bed.......the constant aroma of shaved wood wafts through the house.....I am losin' it I tell ya, losin' it!!!!! When will it end damn it, wheeennnnnn!!!!!:bc:

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?
In the last pic what did Stan Gibbs call the ones that look like the little trolling plugs I think the first I saw of em was when CS posted some Of his stuff when Stan Passed on.the're cool.
Oh Yea I almost forgot I want that big rebel Pop-R
