Al Gag's 3oz. Needle?

Rumor has it the Gag's might start making a 3oz. needlefish - has anyone see one? Will he make his own Al Gags traditional style needle or will he copy the Musso style (SuperStrike) 3oz. Wadd needle ??

I believe it will be like the old gibbs "Johnny Wad" named after John Holmes the porn star. I was hoping to see one last week at MSBA But he was a no show

Al has a 3 ounce traditional slim needle out already - length 9 inches. His new needle is around 8 inches and fat "wad style" - weighs in between 3-4 ounces. I've seen some and they look good. He's hoping to have them at the RI show.

DZ,

Does it look like this Musso Wadd(tapered front and back SS style) or traditional thin front / fat back needle?
