I like the second one a lot. The profile is great.
What type of wood is that made from and how wide is it?.

Very Nice..........................

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.....

I had a vision for that 2nd plug in a dream last night. Not good when you dream plugs.
