Anyone know if this is a Habs needle?
I know that many years ago I bought a needle from Habs, I don't believe I ever used it.
We're getting ready to finish our basement, so I promised the boss to clean out and better organize all my gear. I came across this lure. my recollection is that this is the color needle I bought from Habs.
The photos are bad, the lure is a brilliant black/purple. There's some kind of stamp on the bottom that I can't make out.
Anyone know if this is a Habs?
If so, if anyone here would use this lure, especially if they knew Habs and it would have some sentimental value, I'd be happy to send it to you. If it's a Habs, it should belong to someone who will use it and appreciate it. I'm getting back into boat fishing and don't have much need for this, if it's a Habs I'm guessing someone else will want it a lot more than I do.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

That sure is one nice Habs needle.
The stamp you see on the bottom is actually the counter belly weight in the chin. The bondo does not correspond well with the wood expanding and contracting so it shows up as a dimple.
It looks like a body that Tattoo turned, at one point he was turning bodys for J.Habs who would then, seal, paint, etc.
If Mikey passes I’ll be more than happy to acquire it.
Happy holidays!

Wow, thank you Spence! 
There’s a certain kind of confidence I get fishing a plug older than me. |

Spence, thanks for this. Tommy is a great kid and truly loves surf fishing. I sent him a bunch of books on the subject and other stuff. |
No boat, back in the suds.

John, I had an absolutely incredible, incredible year fishing with my kids in 2021. Thanks to this site I discovered fisheries I didn't know about, and learned so much to give my kids experiences they would not have had otherwise. The least we can do is pay it forward a little.
Plus Craftys Drunken Blackfish Stew, the recipe I got here.
Just learning about Cohen Babcock here, and fishbucket, had so many great times with those guys. |
