Are you thinking of the one Gibbs makes?

Caught many fish on them, mostly Coho and Steelhead.




Take care.

I was referencing the one pictured, posted by Steplift.

Can't help you on a Kitimaat then.

Live and learn.




Take care.

Kitimaat spoon, upon receipt of a very knowledgeable source down south, this may be a commercial lure or a bootleg copy of a McMahon.

Cool spoon! Looks a bit like a Superior.

 

[rockfisher]

it actually came with 2 very, very early Superiors.

Cool spoon.. unique swivel too..the natives spell Kitimat with 2 a A’s

Very cool, It is a Mcmahon copy. I have seen about thirty different Mcmahon copies with different names on them.

It was made by Gibbs for distribution by McClennan, McFeeley and Prior LTD. Gibbs also punched the "Kingfisher" for Gundry Pacific and a "McMahon" for Edward Lipsett. All of which were McMahon spoons.That Kitamaat is probably from the late forties to late fifties.

thanks, I had a feeling that it was Gibbs, as it is quality made.
