Down in RI they are sticking pins in a voodoo doll that looks like you!

I will take the black and gold, what do you want for it?

I got some extra Sluggos.

hot pink is the only color two oz. i like to fish but don't have.

just curious, your needles are 2.5 oz. but hab's needles in that size were always labeled 2 oz but felt heavier. have you found that the needles you cloned were 2.5 oz.?

The Habs of this size that I copied weighed 2.45 oz rigged with a 5/0 ss siwash and a 3/0vmc treble. In truth, I never liked the plug much...it sank too quickly and required a faster retrieve than I liked to stay near the surface, in contrast to his bigger needle which would plane to the top nicely. Guys who fish deeper, rougher, or faster water probably like this model more. For my use, I suspect it would be a better plug at 2oz and might drill out the weight on a few of these to find out.
