Hi John and welcome to this site. We are a bunch of wierdo's but nice wierdo's. As to your question myself and Bassmaster talked of that subject one night in early September on the way to the beach. I, like BM, prefer naked trebles but I have one home made needle that has hackles and flashbou and has been catching lately and get most hits after the ocassional pause in the retrieve. It's been producing better than the others, Here is a pic of that needle.
