before "interblab" info was communicated through fishing magazines, local papers, seminars, etc. - did y'all forget already???  
If interblab is so bad - then why are the ones complaining here? Should all fishing sites be private? Just playing devils advocate here. 
Now back to what this post was supposed to be about - Hab's.
Hab's inspired me like most of us. My first plug was a Hab's spin atom takeoff.
John made the quinessential needle and I am glad I have enough to fish for years to come, but his jointed Atom Jr's from last winter are my favorite of his work, along with the 1.5 ounce mullet swimmers. |

The top plug by Bob Pond is an Atom Jr. Spin Atoms are finger sized. For those interested, this thread discusses the difference http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...ad.php?t=43183 |

Stan Dagget, best fishing buddy of Stan gibbs ,,tought me how to make his eel skin needle...from there it went into collecting vintage plugs which lead to reproducing the classic's , Danny Pichney's stuff is high on my list of remake's. As well is atom's..some gibb's..blue streaks..beachmaster...ccb...brad norris..gamsby...charley murrat.
Only made 4 Hab's needle's....somewhere in the mix of all the other's.
