All of the above . hang in there Bill.. What Numby said .. I see needles in three catergories..
1. floaters/wakers . shallow boulder fields,, calm flat water nights..
2. slow sinkers,, i fish them in like 12-15 feet of water ..slow retieve ,, pause,, If you know your sink rate , you can put it in thier face. I tick the bottom with them sometimes . very retrieve sensitive.. most hits come stumbling around in the surf .
3. fast sinkers ..Heavy big surf..deep water..
All needles are not alike. Probably the most versatile lures ,,cast great ,, big fish love them ..
I recently watched Numby's boy do a job with that 1 3/4 ounce Gibbs from the floater/waker catergory... I make my own slow sinkers.. thing of beauty when they come out right ..
nothing from the rubber crowd ? anyone throw tin anymore .. I read somewhere before WWII tin ruled the surf ..
