Had to cut and file the lips ....anyone know where to get bomber lips ?
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.....
That's some awesome work. Funny thing pops, a whole lot of us wood spinners are now experimenting with handcarves. That puts you way ahead of the curve.
