First Needles
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is my first shot at making needles, I posted the fresh turned blanks in another thread. These are almost finished, I just have to E-tex them and put on hooks. I have to get better at doing the tail wraps, almost every one got scratched up in the process. Anyways, they are in sets of four, one floats, one floats with the tail down, one sinks level, and one sinks with the tail down. These are just shy of 6" but I don't know the weights yet(scale broke this week). I will tie up single hook tails w/ bucktail. Let me know what y'all think and constructive criticism is encouraged because I gotta learn somehow!
