Good to see. Hope it works out for the family. Doesn't his son have a physical ailment? If so, who is going to take care of the business end?

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?

they look great joe. you guys are doing a good thing, there. I can't image how pleased John is to see his son and friends carrieing on his legacy. I'm just glad I already have a meager  supply because that booth is gonna be a mad house on Friday morning. I'm just hoping to score a hat. Good luck with everything. |

I used to tie my own bucktails, that is until I saw Jeffs.

Wow, this is GREAT news!!
I am sure John Jr will build the same remarkable lures as did John Sr.
A special thanks go out to "My Favorite Martin's" and Tattoo for the support they are giving the Hab's family.
We all wish only the best to the future of Hab's Custom Plugs!

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!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

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!

They look good too -- I saw one at the SWE the other day, and I couldn't tell the difference, except for the "jr" on the signature.
Way to keep it going -- Good luck.
