kdnguyen2 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I just bought these off fleabay the other day(paid $94.95 total). Looking for $100 shipped, paypal preferred. Pretty rare from what I understand. little under 4 1/2 inches, 1.2oz. The blue one has the belly weight protruding slight but still in excellent fishing condition.

hardbait Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 i think there more like the gibbs skippers than pencils, but very sweet indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningWood Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Thinking about it can I see pics of the other side? Also the yellow eye loop looks odd and the grommet looks to be coming out. possible rewire? better pics would help.

kdnguyen2 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Bottom of the pencils. I was told these were BM's made 20+ years ago. I checked a few pics of the Gibb's skippers and they do not look like those. I saw a thread a while back that had the same style pencil signed by bobby himself. The yellow eye loop looks strange only because of the angle of the picture. the pencil is belly up compared to the other pencils in the first pic. Going to leave these up for the weekend. Want a SOL'er to get these rare pencils. The Worst Day Fishing is Better Than the Best Day Working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdnguyen2 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yeah, I could be wrong lockbox, but they were sold to me as BM's (which could be incorrect). I will close this down since I'm not 100% sure who made these and will happily fish them.

PhilCVG Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I have a recent run Maple Spin that shows the weight pretty bad. Not as clear as that, but pretty well raised. The tail wrap on the blue and white looks right also, yellow a bit funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdnguyen2 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 thanks lockbox, really appreciate the information. That said, I am having second thoughts in selling these now.

lockbox Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 i will purchase the lures if you still want to sell them. they are at least 25 years of age and are collectibles. I feel bad that i might have hurt your sale before making sure i was 100 percent sure .my apologies to you my friend. let me know Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardbait Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 i never said they were gibbs skippers but they resemble the same body style as skippers rather than a pencil, just saying i dont think they are pencils but more like what the skippers are bluefish bombs, thats all. i new he made them years ago with those small poppers. the tails give them away. yes i know they are beachmasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdnguyen2 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 reopening this thread. same asking price. firm on price or else I'll keep them. as lockbox stated (my bm authority), these are close to 23 years old.

MorningWood Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'm sure they will sell but if they don't I'd like the blue and the white, I already have the yellow. MorningWood(*member formerly know as 'kevnmary') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
