I, too, am a big fan of the Huddleston. The Hudd is a quality swimbait and I have nothing but positive to say about the bait's construction and performance. I own quite a few myself. In my opinion, I feel the quality of the ABT is right there with the Hudd. The price point of the ABT Wagtail Soft Series is within a couple dollars of the Huddleston (both sizes) and within a dollar of the Baitsmith in the 6" size. Neither of these three swimbaits are cheap but I don't think the ABT price is out of bounds.

One feature I really like on the Wagtail is the eye right behind the dorsal fin for attaching a stinger hook. This feature alone adds some value, in my opinion. This makes rigging a stinger hook so easy a guy up in Washington State can do it.....
