hab's needles

Packing plugs last night and was looking through all my Hab's needles - love his stuff. Curious what your favorite color is? For me white and black or black purple have caught the most fish but the metallic blue color has also caught me a bunch and is probably my favorite.

i really liked my yellow on that was crushing bass for me at beavertail a number of years ago till i lost it that night. I could see where it was stuck on the edge of the ledge, i would have got killed trying to get it so i had to break it off.

Everything is better on the rocks.

My three favorite are white/pink, blue/white and olive/white (eel).
Have caught on other patterns also.
The 1 1/2 oz stubby is killa, the 2 1/2 oz stubby is also up there.

I have a fair amount of Hab's needles, but no parrots. Does somebody have a pic they can post?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
