The yellow one with glitter on the top left is a vintage early Habs needle - I have the same size in black (which has been retired) and a 1 1/2 oz in yellow w/ yellow bucktail - also retired.

Got nothing better than guesses on the others - that other one does indeed look like a Gag's -

Hey, I'll trade ya a Jet mortising attachment for that yellow Habs

- just kidding, thanks again -

If DZ chimes in here, he'll give ya the ID on all the needlefish - he's an acknowledged master on the subject now writing a book about BI, which is Needlefish Country for sure.

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
