You've got it down pretty well I'd say. Nice job, sounds like they're weighted perfectly as well.

novice ? If your thinking about how it behaves in the water I say not . I think a slow sinker is the most versatile needle in most conditions . There's a place in the world for floaters and sinkers but you gotta have a slow sinker . Daytime testing before fishing those night tides is key .. good job ..
