I threw everything but the kitchen sink yesterday and came up with 1 rat bluefish

so i decided to do some experimenting .
Habs, Beachmaster.Gibbs,and #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& needles. 10 knots breeze left to right with a 10ft med action ugly stick ,penn 7500 with 35lb whiplash . Beach masters seemed to tumble no matter how I cast them .The seem to fat and too light. #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&s better but floated in the air . Gibbs alittle more tail heavy good in the wind , Habs go like a damn rocket!!!! Now if I could only find a consistant supply of them with good color selection. The beachmasters need some lead in the butt so I'll drill and fill with lead and epoxy this winter . I like the beachmasters for their girth I just wished they would cast better. How do I get my hands on a BM needle to compare? Anybody finding the same results? Or was I just to damn board ?
