No idea Chi, but if you're going to fish Champlain, most of the bait shops at least in VT sell bibbets, they are also not that hard to make if you want to try your hand at it.

   Not fishing Champlain, fishing Western NY area. heard these were an awesome jig so i thought I'd try to get my hands on some, do get  up your way occasionally, got my rare breed Stabyhoun hunting dog from a breeder near Shelburne. Next time I'm in the area I'll have to hit the local bait shops. BTW real nice up your way  :)

Thanks man, I actually live up further north. I live in East Enosburg, up in the sticks. Tight lines.  :tipup:

Thanks Razzle, we have a special going this year buy 5 get one free, I just need to know what kind your looking for? There are many colors and shapes that are called "Lake Champlain" bibbits. I am assuming your talking about the large cashew shaped style?

I see you do on your site...I bet you'd sell a bunch of those bibbets if you posted a pic of the 6 or 12 most popular colors...

Never had anyone show intrest that wasn't a Champlain fisherman. There are many styles to a "Champlain" bibbet because there are so many guys that make them.....

you might be surprised...the same cashew shaped jig is called a Simcoe Bug in Canada....same thing....kinda old school but its whatever you have faith in...I'd buy some through the mail cause I'm in southern vermont and never really go up your way...I really think you may be surprised...

I know I'd get some. Im up your area once a year and rarely see a tackle shop, so I'd order some.
What are some of the sizes they come in?
