Habs Needles

Christmas is coming and my wife is looking for ideas for stocking stuffers.

I've been noticing that the Habs Needles look to be the Madonna of the Striper Lures (Consistantly Hammered) and I was thinking that they would be a good Xmas suggestion

Do you guys know if they're available anywhere on the North Shore of MA. or of anyplace online that she could snag a few for me?

From what I can see they get snatched up pretty damn quick but I definitely want to try them out........Thanx in advance for any suggestions

Thanx guys...I just read a nice article on him in "On the Water" and it got me thinking about trying some...If I happen to find some up this way I'll let you know.

From what I've read and surfed on the web they are hard to come by

I don't think that any stores on the north shore carry them. Order online.
