I have a fair amount of Hahn stuff from the early 80's in my basement.
I found it disappointing. It fished well enough, but was poorly constructed, unsealed, and crudely built. The plugs I used all peeled. He sold different style plugs (pikies, dannys, atoms) that all used the same lip made from a bent spinner blade......and hence worked more like a surfster than the shape they copied. Some of them even used un-galvanized steel through wires.

I've enclosed a photo of some. I have (or maybe had) others including some in packages and some bigger stuff like a large light needle and giant jointed pikie that I might be able to find if you are truly interested.

He did build a medium sized "danny" with the spinner blade lip in a brown back, silver side, yellow belly that some guys loved for plugging along the elizabeths. I pulled the black one apart to copy it but lost interest eventually.
