Ok I am completely bummed out today. I hade to go fish last night and lost my Hab's needle fish to the fish god's AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been fishing it for a year and loved it so. It was ugly, missing one eye and lots of paint. ( we all know what a low quality job Hab's does finishing his plugs! LOL ) The hooks were getting rusty. ( low quality VMC junk! LOL ) but I still loved throwing it and it was almost single plugidly make me forget about chunkin. Now it is gone with no replacement in sight. I just want to cry. I may have to go drown my sorrows with a bag of bait.:crying: :doh: :bc:

What color/size was it?

-spence

I lost the 1st one I ever owned about a month ago and I wasn't Happy about it. :mad:

it was a 1.5 oz in white. I would kill fish on this plug every time I used it. Same spot with it last week very slow bite 3 for me 0 for my bud throwin a swimer.

AHHHH You will start to MORE starting this WEEKEND............ Was it a Calm or Ruff SURF out there........................

Thats the same one I lost. It was the one that I caught my 1st striper on wood w/.

I'd offer to help you out - but I'm a Red Sox fan.....

LMFAO - I was just about to ask for his address so I could send him a custom 1-1/2 ounce white and lt blue needle because I felt sorry for the guy, until I saw this!

Thanks for looking out for me Joe :D

Geesh!... I'd send one along to you ken, but it will be a cold day in hell before I'm able to find one!...
or receive a jointed for the Plug Project display.... :rolleyes:

Psssstttt. Blitz. I'm try to dump the junk :p

-spence

Hey Bliz they didn't build Rome in a DAY ...........Maybe your LOOKING in the wrong PLACES............ :rolleyes:

How bad do you want one?

Heh.

That doesn't look like a Habs. :eek:

It definitely doesn't have VMC's anyway. At best it's retrofitted with open-eye treble, but it just looks like a fake to me.

Sorry

I didn't know what one looked like and saw this on Ebay.

Man you guys are hard. When did I ever give you a load of horse pucky for being a Red Sox fan? NEVER but allot of you have been more than happy to give me a load for being a Yankee fan. I guess it the way it has been since the start of the 1919 season, whine, cry, moan, complain, and call names. If that's what makes you feel better for a lifetime of disappointment OK. But remember I have NEVER given any grief without receiving a bunch first. LOL

KL:laughs:

Let me state for the record that I am not, have never been, or ever will be a Yankees fan. :D

Okay Ken... You're a good guy...


BUT, YOU ARE A YANKEES FAN!!! :af: :af: :af:

Joe,

You must have read the article!...

You're right Johnny!


HELL AINT GOTTEM EITHER!!! :laughs:

oh this is just great now I'm gettin flamed by Bliz. What is wrong with the world? Losing my Hab's has been the worst thing that has ever happened to me, The pain of loosing it and now being flamed by one of my fishing pards. Where is the justice in the world. I may have to take my ole man's boat out and troll myself for shark bait.

there is no justice in palookaville !


I lost a habs once . so I stopped buying them . too painful and super strikes dont hurt to loose as much .

habs plugs = canadien hockey sticks !

May be if u changed your signature below w/ that rude comment about the Red Soxs, some one would help u out. ;)



Like Joe said " NO NEEDLES FOR YOU !"

More to follow.

KL

OK Maddog2020 its gone but here is a pic for you

I wouldn't slam a door that hard!

there was a ton of sand eels out front today. :D

Anybody notice the high bidder on that ebay plug (as of Friday, 11am). That ID looks familiar, I think I've seen it around here.

HABS NEW APOXY FINISH

Don't think "The King" uses Apoxy to finsh and he certainly uses VMCs with split rings

I'll bet a paycheck that it's a Habs. Someone replaced the hooks.

I've turned thousands, know the shape anywhere....

I still cant figure out why you guys can't find any Habs needles, on any given day I know where I can find at least 1000 or so....:smash:

OK Tattoo
we both live in portsmouth, were neighbors man, help me out and hook me up. I cant find your stuff ether.

Could be or couldn't be hard to tell . Maybe a Imposter KNOCK OFF ARTIST..................

At leasat he's not a boat fishing yankee fan....... we should at least give Mulder for being a shore fisherman.. or not.:D

This is hysterical. I remember when John would give us plugs to test. Now they are selling them on Ebay.
Hey, Hab, don't sell anymore needlefish. Auction them off to the highest bidder. Anyone want to bid on a a 1oz purple Hab circa 1995?

Thanks Eben. I think? Been on the boat about 4 times this year, when I can steal it from my ole man, it is after all his boat. But to be honest with ya I prefer the rocks of Newport to a boat any day.

Maybe this will help my cause.

GO RED SOX!!!

Now give me your plugs!!!:D

In the mail you Yankees Punk :hihi:

-spence

:happy: You the best man.

Hooked up with Bliz last night and he busted on me all night about my lost Hab's. I almost jumped off the wall, he was ruthless. But what did i expect after he triple flamed me.


This ones for you Bliz :af: :af: :af: :af: you dink catchin freek.:laughs:

It's a "Habs Like" plug :hihi: Never even fished one myself, curious to know what you think.

-spence

Ken, I was gonna give you my blurple HABS needle, until I got this message from the crown prince himself...

:rotf2: Bliz

Is there anyone out there interested in a needle exchange program?... :laughs:

Habs plugs catch fish. His first plugs were a different story but from early 1998 hs needlefish came into their own. I believe it's the way he loads them, the eye placement and the finish. In that order... If the needlefish isn't loaded right it won't work right. I know, I know, needlefish don't have any action but if you fish them correctly you can give them action. I have been trying side to side sweeps lately and it has been effective in rough water. Kinda like walking the dog with a Zara Spook..

You'd see guys on jetties peddling knock-offs like they do with Rolex watches.
If you look close though, then you'd see the tell tale signs: smudged paint, 1X strong, open-eye Mustad trebles, :yak5:

And then the dead giveaway - you'd see that they spelled "Habs" with two b's - "Habbs" :hs:

Nope, there's only one HABS Needlefish...

So glad to see John's doing well!

I need to start a black market beer fund. :D :cheers:

I got beer. Lot's of it and I know where I can get more.

Yeah I feel your pain. I have lost 2 habs. One needle and one popper. A moment of silence please.

Ta Ta Taaaa Ta Ta Taaaa Ta Ta Taaaa Ta Ta Taaaa Ta Ta Taaaaaaaaa Ta Ta Taaaa Ta Ta Ta Ta Taaaa

Rest in peice Hab's neddle fish.:angel:

Ya i did notice:D "Timing is everything",especially the last few minutes:hihi:

bid sniper;) they r gr8

There is someone making needles that do look very much like Habs. A Lawng Eyeland tackle store is carrying them. He also makes poppers and metal lips. I believe the guy is from Vermont. I don't recall if they had eyes but they did have the same length and weight.

having bernzy the bidder . I refrained !

OK a few day's have passed and the pain has diminished a little. I only cried for 3 hours last night. So far today I have only broke down one time. This may take a long time to get over.

Mulder, maybe this will make you feel better.... :hihi:

It would make me feel better if those were in my house. AAAAAAAHHHHHH your killin me man.

toonoc, I don't think it will make KLMulder Happy ....... But it MAKES me HAPPY...................................THANKS

And KL is crying over one HABS needle?

Get it together KL!...

This is all in good fun on your half, KLM. :)

Thanks for changing your signature, but the damage has been done. :P

This guy REALLY wants a Habs. ;) May be if you beg a bit more some one will send you one.

Geez, Blitz - u have every right to whine - u lost 3 Tattoo Darters ......OUCH that hurts. :(

Bliz

I still think you are a dink catchin freek.
You most likely lost them because a dink snaped you off.:laughs:

Yikes!...
