Habs Custom Plugs return
Here are 2 of the 2 oz. needles from the first batch from John Haberek Jr.It's the same animal, built the same way as we did when Habs was doing it ,only his son is at the gun now.Many thanks to Tattoo for his help getting this project going. There will be about 200 or so at the RISAA show 1/2 Fri and the rest Sat.After that they will be sold direct from the Habs website as they become available. Time constraints will not allow for production to be as much as it once was,but Habs Custom Plugs will remain on the surf scene.
John Jr. is a talented young man and as time goes on I am confident he will make his own mark on the surfcasting world.For now we are taking it slow and steady,looking forward to see what develops.

Do you plan on having some sort of limit on how many plugs each person can purchase at the show? I can foresee people trying to buy 20 or so, then putting them up on E-bay the next day!

Good to see Jr is taking over for dad. Thanks to Mike, Joe, and all who have helped in keeping the Habs plug legacy alive.  |

As it stands now it's going to be a 2 plug limit at the show.There's just too many people to try to make happy.There will be more down the road.

Great news Joe
I'm glad to hear that
While we all miss the man himself, atleast now there is still the possibility his needlefish plugs will still get in the hands of fishermen so they can catch fish 
Congrats to John Jr. and kudos to Mike and you  |

Wish I could have made it up this year Joe. Hopefully next year - heck I may have a booth by then if things keep up.
Jeff inspired me to take some of the gazillion feathers I had lying around from my fly-tying days and make some feather tails. My lab Emma wants to go hunting 
I am glad to see the legacy continue - as Neil Young said - "The King is gone, but not forgotten." All the best to John Jr. and team! |

I didn't know the family, but that's great that his son will be able to continue the trade.
Now - are you going to make a stubby?

You know....having met and talked with John Jr. and his Mom (Jessica) a few times, I can't help but think about what a fine young man I think he is! His Dad would be quite proud of him for sure! |

WELL DONE!!!
Thanks to the Pt Jude bro's and tatoo for being more than a friend to John, Jess, and John Jr. It is this type of love that often goes unappreciated and unmentioned, and in yer collective humility you'd prolly rather nothing be said; however, it is WELL WORTH mentioning!
Huge Kudos to Jess for encouraging her son to do whatever he thought was right and allowing him the time to come to such a huge decision. Also, for your part in keeping HABS "in tha family" now and in the future.
John Jr, CONGRATULATIONS!! Excellent work and as i am sure you know ~your father would be very proud of you whether you chose to continue his legacy, or not. Thank you VERRRRY MUCH for stepping into yer father's shop and we eagerly anticipate more of the HAB'S Line, as YOU see fit.
This is yer baby now, and i can't wait to see anything new you would like to introduce, in due time, as you add your own ideas to the well established name, HAB'S, which is synonymous for BIG FEESH and a much, much Bigger Man  . |
"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy
Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!
