Night Moves Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 My favorite Habs plug is the 7 1/2" needle fish. Now that they are not being made anymore, I'm looking for an alternative. I know there are many needle fish makers out there, but does anybody know of a Habs immatation/lookalike? t_man7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthmode Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 DC plugs makes a knock off almost identical to the Habs 2oz..I started using a lordship 2.5 oz needle after I lost my last olive/white Habs sr ..similar to the Habs style t_man7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishStripes Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 dont cut my head off for saying it, I'm not comparing quality just appearance.........................but the tsunami plug is a knock off with some of the same features. i thinks gibbs has something called professional series that i remember being a shamless rip off copy.

Surfcasterzx2 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 find a guy who turns plugs and ask him to make some dupes...... Exactly, I have heard of plug builders using technology to scan an original and spit out duplicates. Call it a plug cloning machine. And this is what alot of your favorite plug builders do to keep up with demand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Moves Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Right, I did see the DC plugs at RISSA. I forgot the name until you just reminded me. Thx I did purchase some Habs Jr needle fish but unfortunately that was the last Habs being made. I'll try the DC needle fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
