Ditch Jigger Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I believe they were only sold out of the shop in Sagamore Beach. Never saw any in a retail outlet. Gibbs stopped making then many years ago. "…if catching fish is your only objective, you are either new to the game or too narrowly focused on measurable results.” - D.

put_em_back Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Here are a couple from one of those pot smoking West Coast guys . These made their way out west through an Epay auction for a bunch of stuff. They are HUGE and I don't know if I have anything to throw them with. Not sure if my 1322 can handle it. I would carry one around in my bag as a joke, but then again I don't want to carry around the extra weight. I can imagine the comments when I whipped that out .
