I love moderate to fast sinking needles in rough water. I either let them go in the wash or fish them with a pumping motion and a moderate retrieve. Nothing more fun than pulling fish out of big water. I personally prefer needles over eels when it's rough. I had one night the year before last that I kept getting hung up in the same spot. As soon as I got my needle free a bass would hit it. I couldn't pick up a fish any other way. Hab's needles......color didn't matter..
