Exactly Tony ... doing the same thing .. People have told me "You can't fish needles down there" I'm in maybe 12' of water on the end of my cast .. rocky bottom .. If your fishing sinking needles you'll loose every one. These are the ones I cut in half to see how i made them . no secret .. posted them .. I take them out during day light and just plop them in the water right in front of me . I just watch how fast they sink in like 3' of water .. I'm looking for slow sink .. I cast them and see how fast I have to retrieve to keep them on top .. I still want slow retrieve on top too .Then I cast and see how slow I can retrieve them without getting hung up . If I get it right I can reel slow and slower .. even pausing and working them deeper.. I got some nice fish like this last year .. I had a Nib fish on last year I could not turn .. By the time the train stopped I was almost empty and stood there like 20 minutes not knowing if I was wrapped up in the rocks or what finally broke off .. When I mature as a fisherman , I'll land that fish .
