Can you get a single needle specific for the size fluoro or do you need to spring for the whole kit (@$100 I think)?

Numby,
Thanks for the video's!
Instead of using a needle to splice the flouro and braid, take a lighter to the tip of the flouro to make it round. Try not to make it larger than the dia. of the flouro. It slides through the hollow core alot easier than a pointed end. I usually do this during a Red Sox game.
Hope this helps,
Mike
