Hab's 2003 Angler of the YEAR

Well it looks like IRON MIKE wins again with his 60 lb. BASS. on a HAB'S NEEDLEFISH. CONGRATS Mike........Don't think he will want another 42 INCH NEEDLEFISH . He will receive a Jacket , Hat and plugs..............THANKS again Iron Mike Everin.......

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

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?
