The ever expanding Hab Empire garnered rave reviews for product innovation and an even more heightened attention to detail as well as some incredible new paint schemes.Future pluggage is sure to knock socks with his new shock and awe line of cow killers.The coming weeks are sure to prove uneasy with unbridled anticipation for discrimimnating anglers.:cheers: :uhoh: :bshake:

About 3 winters ago I got my friend to spin some of those bodies.He had gotten a blade machine where the blank spins against a balde with the profile of the bottle.We ran off some an wasted quite a few before we came up with the right jig for the mouth.there was 4 of us I maybe got a half dozen.That was the last one I had.I just did some bigger ones for myself.Without a duplicator i could not set up a jig an had to do each one by hand (eye).It takes abot a hour per plug.I made some for the current.Not as big a head an a longer streamlined lip.Kinda like Bob Hahns.I really wanted to keep em for myself as I don't get any good treats for me.NOBODY makes a good bottle anymore.
So what do u have to trade...

I'm always looking for a good bottle plug. This usually means anolder style gibbs.NIB ,a fair trade will probably be a photo of you in a dress this fall for your bottle plug.:p

super strikes aren't good???

I hope i didn't imply that.I have a bunch of em but never really got any good fish on em.I think that has to do with the fact I will use some of my older Gibbs when the time an place are right.

Older Gibbs are hard to come by.I have some nice shwag to trade for the 3 oz. size.Lotta builders out there but none that have gone the bottle route.Hab man will definitely impress with his newest creation,Metal lip and made large to catch large.:rtfm:

I'm down to my last few myself, and they all have splintered lips from banging against the stones :(

Still have one Hahn new in the package.

Maybe Superstrike will eventually make a 3 oz. Good plastic is better than bad wood, at least in my book.

few yrs.ago I made a nice score in a local shop.Cleared a few pins for 11 dollars each.When we had a rip, before beach replenishment the three once bottles where very popular.But had been sittin in his shop for yrs.
