Would any of us be making wooden lures had it not been for John Habs?? As for me....I must say I would not! I got into striper fishing about 10 years ago. Habs were the first "custom" wooden lures I ever saw! I was fishing the usual bunch of Gibbs lures, all good stuff, but Habs were different thats for sure. They peaked my first interest in making my own wooden lures! My question is this.....who was making wooden lures before Habs started to make them??? I am not talking about Gibbs or Creek Chub or Floyd Roman or Bob Pond or Bob Hahn. I am talking "Post Striper Moratorium"? I believe that were it not for John Habs, the renaissance of wooden fishing lure building quite possibly may not have happened! At least not to the degree which it has! Your thoughts on the subject would be appreciated!
