Yeah the pliers were just cheap knockoffs of the sea striker billfisher pliers, no big loss(but if anyone knows where i can get another pair i'd love to know). the funny thing is that earlier in the day i was thinking about making a lanyard for them out of telephone cord, oh well. the needle was not made by me, there are so many guys already making great wood that i leave it to them, plus i don't know where i'd find the time. this one was a choopy from sol, but i was also using a blurple salty, the luminescent eyes are so cool! so i'm another needle convert now, my wife thanks you guys for introducing me to yet another type of tackle that i need to buy lots of!
