Let start a new one - I need an old wood fix!

Here a few hard to come by Lupo Darters.

I bought three of them for the the price of $20. Just changed the hooks over to vmc's and bang instant fish catching machine.
I love them things. Got a 36" fish last week in the canal on one at slack.

work hard, fish hard and die happy!

VB, I CAN NOT BUILD THEM FAST ENOUGH, IT takes TIME to BUILD a QUALITY PLUG..............But in about 2 weeks everyone will have them FOR A DAY AGAIN.............. I REFUSE to cut corners it order to get them out the door faster.......... I work about 16 hours every DAY, 7 days a week. VB you want a JOB, You have invitation to come to the FACTORY.

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.....

Ahhhhh....the now rare Stripers Unlimited eel squid......



Tattoo's pulling out the stops here

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
