Last year I had an evening where I was fishing that plug (same color) next to a guy with the same color full size needlefish by another maker. It was more like 5 to 1. Needless to say I have a few of those Habs stubbies now.
Last week I was on a certain island and landed a nice, personal best fish on a Superstrike. 30 minutes later the wind cranked up to 25-30 right in my face, so I snapped on my black night & gale. 10 minutes later there was a 32lb fish on the beach that was caught at the end of the cast. I thought that the hook was too far back to catch a bass - guess not.
I must have bounced that thing of the rocks at my feet a few hundred times that night, and all the paint is still on the plug.
