Oh, what a striper warrior Iron Mike is...it looks like he is your striper knight, Habs. lol
If I am going to be a rhody baby surfcaster regular, I would use your plugs since I think the basses like to eat large and binge themselves to fullest.

Congrats to the Iron Man for being named MVP for Team Habanero - he is the sultan of the suds
And congrats to Senor Habs (el grande artisano Americano) for another year of continuing to make the finest plugs around
Yup, 2003 was a real good year for Iron Mike, topped off with the arrival of his new son - now where's the bloooberry flavored cigars?
