How do these compare in terms of sink rate to the other sies Hab's? I have too many Hab's already but have to admit I'm intrigued by these.

I use the night-n-gale and the fat stubby but the N&G sink faster than the fatties. I know it is not comparing the standard needle to the fatty but it is more data to compare.

The Night N' Gale stubby is a shallow running, long casting, SWIMMING needle from my experiences. You can also work it like a pencil popper/slider if you want to.
The "regular" fat stubby is, in my opinion, the best swimming needle out there right now. It casts almost as well as the NN'G, and swims amazingly. They definately fill a void in my bag and have been added as one of the plugs I take everywhere.

Sounds perfect.

They are awesome. Sail when you cast them like other Habs. Swim nice & sink slowly. Id say a little faster though than the 2oz & 1.5 oz needles. Havent yet tested them on fish, but I am already confident with them after test swimming them.
