And there's the rub, what is the secret to a swimming needle?........I'm not sure it is the flats that make a needle swim. The best swimming needle I've fished is the smaller Spofford, which have no flats. The old three hook Gibbs swam as well. I got an idea it is the taper of the head/throat part of the plug in relation to the balance point (i.e., weighting scheme) that is the most important.
