2 seasons ago, I had tremendous success with the medium and large Habs needles. The eel color (olive) and the black and purple were great. Near the end of that season I only had one of each left and searched far and wide. . I placed a couple on-line orders as well only to be backordered. Then I moved to MV and live rather close to #^&#^&#^&#^&s B&T, when I first walked in he had a lot of exactly what I was looking for, and I bellied-up and bought a load of them. After Habs delivered his load in the fall to #^&#^&#^&#^&s I filled in any color gaps. Later that season when most of the online dealers got their orders filled. The backorders were filled and my mailbox overflowith with Habs needles. So I have about 10-year supply at the moment.
Before you get on the ferry.... #^&#^&#^&#^&s is not really open yet but if you call him and leave him a message he will return your call. He had what you are looking for late last fall when I was in there long after the derby folks had departed. I doubt anyone bought them as it gets really quiet here after the derby...the number of fisherman drop off to just a few die-hards the night after the derby.... in fact he shut down to just a couple hours a few days a week day after the derby and it was still in October...

(BTW, The MV derby will be extended one week into October this year making it 5 weeks.)
