Use heavy needles in deep or rough water that's sweeping your plug and you need something that will stick .
Floaters , good in vast, shallow water, boulder fields with pockets . a lot of places around the Islands comes to mind.
Slow sink .. Most versatile , will come to the surface or go to the bottom depending on the speed retrieve or pause . This type of needle is probably the best for most of our coast line and conditions . Works on Cutty,,Block,, Montauk ..

I guess part of my issue is that when there is a real heave on, I tend to fish other plugs. And if I am going to fish a needle I usually reach for a bullet/stubby needle. I'll have to give some of these bigger needles I have more of a chance.
Slow sink needles - I just ordered some afterhours : )
