That sure is one nice Habs needle.
The stamp you see on the bottom is actually the counter belly weight in the chin. The bondo does not correspond well with the wood expanding and contracting so it shows up as a dimple.
It looks like a body that Tattoo turned, at one point he was turning bodys for J.Habs who would then, seal, paint, etc.
If Mikey passes I’ll be more than happy to acquire it.
Happy holidays!

Wow, thank you Spence! 
There’s a certain kind of confidence I get fishing a plug older than me. |

Needlefish should be there this week. As it’s Christmas I put in something jointed made by Habs and this goofy guy with a big fish tattoo on his back. Don’t lose it! |

Oo la la
THANK YOU JEFF
Hey I know that guy MIKE DAUPHIN!
I remember the story, John went into a shop (the name escapes me) and found a bunch of the old Murrats boxes, he went to Mike and they decided they’d reproduce the Murreel for the Hab~A~Tat series of plugs.
I believe it was an extra $10 or $15 for a box along with the plug when they were selling them at wintertime shows (RISSA?).

Spence, thanks for this. Tommy is a great kid and truly loves surf fishing. I sent him a bunch of books on the subject and other stuff. |
No boat, back in the suds.
