Super User WRB Posted August 27, 2009 Super User Posted August 27, 2009 Garry Garland, brother of late Bobby Garland passed away. Garry with his brother Bobby invented the original Gitzit tube bait. Anyone who fishes a tube today owes a great deal of gratitude to the Garland brothers, they will be missed. WRB Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted August 27, 2009 Super User Posted August 27, 2009 I'll remember that tomorrow night when I'm throwing tubes at the sand quarry. Next tube fish is dedicated to him. Quote

I don't know why, probably because no one around here thinks to use tubes for largemouth, but they have been "gittin' r done" for me this season. Quote
Pantera61 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I used the old, Lucky Strike G4 tubes to win a tourney or two, here's to him and his brother Quote
Super User cart7t Posted August 28, 2009 Super User Posted August 28, 2009 I remember when the gitzit tubes with the gitzit heads came out. The spiral fall of that bait was absolutely incredible looking. That bait has stood the test of time, that's for sure. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted August 28, 2009 Super User Posted August 28, 2009 The original gitzit was often imitated but never duplicated. If I'm not mistaken, the demand for gitzits eventually dried up and Bobby Garland stopped production. But then due to popular demand, the production of the original bobby garland gitzit was reinstated. Roger Quote

Roger There was a lot of turmoil due to family issues, that both Bobby and Garry never fully worked out, they can rest in peace now. Garry sold the Gitzit company to Cayon lures (Canyon-plastics) and they are still being made today. Cancer took Garry slowly, pray for wife Kay and family. WRB Quote
