Spoke with him a number of years ago to research some needlefish history. Nice man.

RIP.

Sorry to hear that news
RIP Bob

I still have one of his plugs, I'll just hang on to it and not fish it


Condolences to his friends and family

Made some of the best small bottle plugs ever. I remember a morning 30 years ago at Charlestown beach crushing 30# on a blue and white bottle of his. Think it must have looked like sea herring. I still have one left which will now be retired.

Rest on peace. He was an innovator for sure.

RIP sad news for sure

RIP Bob

I remember waiting at Betty & Nicks for Bob to drop off his plugs when he started building. 15-20 guys grabbing 4 or 5 each, they would be gone in 20 minutes. He was the one who got me interested in building but it was years later that I finally took the plunge. I still have the first surfster I made in the 80's, a copy of Bob's.
RIP Bob

picked up one still in the package at a yard sale last year, I think it'll stay in the bag.

:( RIP Bob.

Condolences to his family.

I was thinking the same thing. I think it's that some of us are all around the same age and our generation is reaching that milestone where they start to leave in bunches .

Just googled ,, Guess Bob was 66 when he passed .. Legendary NJ Plug Maker Bob Hahn Dies at 66 | NJ Saltwater Fisherman - Your #1 Source For Fishing In NJ

sorry to hear the news
seems harder when life is springing forth
with a new promise ... to lose people now

RIP Bob. I have one yellow darter in memory of him so it will remain in my line up for this year and hopefully he'll grant me a fat slob this year.
