Hey John .. Glad to see you back .. I like your thinking ,, Nuts and bolts . I was thinking the same thing as Numby . Gotta add retrieve rate to the mix . You have to take them out and throw them ,slow retreive and see how they behave . I make one that I call "retrieve sensitvie " Basicly a slow sinker but rises and falls as retrieve varies. That I fish on a rocky beach (end of cast) in about max 12' of water.. Current ,same plug will just sit on top . Tough to make a bad needle ,weight wise ,, Its where you fish em .. I 'm making a small needle for when huge bass,that are on pin head sand eels and touching nothing eles , Chances of landing one is not as good,, because I had to down size hooks so much . I know that .. I don't really like fishing less than a 3/0 hook . The fish I'm targeting (not catching) I've been buying 6X lately also .. I don't know how those (Big Fish) Jersey guys catch large on Lefty size hooks ?? unless the fish is just inhaling the plug and on both hooks . once again you got me thinking again .. thanks .. Numby wants them to swim too .. I'm not there yet .. trying .
