Hi Troy,
check under North American lures -> Canadian lures
Rivermandave has posted links to shops that stock Gibbs lures

Dave I haven't seen them for 15yrs+ in aus, was wondering if anyone collecting metals may have some or if there is another site etc I might have a chance of getting some. any info would be good.

A lot very fond memories with this lure and still very effective as I recently found out , Weight size shape patterns action I found perfect, only thing the trebles were crap and were the first thing to replace.

Not sure of their collectability but by rarity I'm finding they should be, I'll keep looking.

I've seen them turn up from time to time on the US and Canadian Fleabay sites. Might be worthwhile setting up a saved search for them there.
