George I own a few and just can't seem to find an application for them where they will out fish a regular Habs needle, Danny, darter or a buck tail. Cool novelty plug and cast a mile but I have always done well with other plugs. I know they were designed primarily for windy rough water conditions... Who am I kidding just give me a soft cooler and a dozen eels.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

I use the medium sized N'nGs. Love them on dark nights. Use the plug body as a handle when releasing fish. Never have to put a light on .

I have some John gave me pre-production on the Block one Sunday morning waiting for the ferry. I cannot bring myself to fish anything he made. Just holding on to them for I don't know what.

No boat, back in the suds.

I think it's different when the builder personally gives em to you, they mean more and have unmatched value.

You are right Chris. Plus John was a good friend. I have some pre-production needles from the late 80s that I treasure. They look nothing like what he ultimately built.
