Narragansett Surfcasters Show
 

Hadn't been in 4 or 5 years. Great seeing Habs Jr. Richard C, Steve V, Toby, Dave Anderson and a host of my old surfrat friends.

Lots of new plug builders and some fine ones at that.

Highlight of my visit was picking up and almost new Newell 229 for $40.

Worth $150 to $200 used.

Is habs jr making plugs again?

He has been but he told me he's done. Of course he told me the same thing 2 years ago. All the new plugs he made are beautiful and, to the eye, looks like John Sr. plugs.

I told him he should go back into full production and I'd sell for him.

Cause the rest of the world finally realized those old coffee grinders are obsolete. Just like my arra 1205's
Surprised you couldn't pry one from the cold dead hands of backbeach for free

He just bought a couple last year!!!!!

Should of come buy Big D’s plug corner.
I was working it with him. Maybe an extra one would of fallen in the bag.

OH S hit. I would have loved to seen you. I was down the other end and downstairs with Habs Jr.

I bought a few from BackBeach.
Newells are fantastic light bottom reels for fluke, BSB, blackfish etc. Easy to work on and almost bulletproof.
