Here they are!! Opinions???

Mr. Habs and I recently aquired a number of these "Polish Plugs"
I have been using them for the last 8 years in RI. They have proven to be more productive than other similar style plugs that I have used.
They are built for the salt, with wooden construction, thru wire, heavy duty split rings and 4X VMC trebles.
The paint and finish are awesome. They are 7" long and weigh 2 1/8 oz.

Habs has asked me to post some pics, so here they are:

Whadya think??

Think all the new ones are plastic, These are WOOD. Try these and there won't be any more POLOCK JOKES. Swim VERY 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.....

Do they run right on top like a Redfin, or down a foot or so like a Bomber?

When casting, you can work the upper 3 feet or so of the water column, depending on the rate of retrieve.
Being wood, they are very buoyant.
