Another thought on needles.
The more water resistance the tail hook has, the more it will ride up toward a horizontal position in line with the body on slow retrieves. Without dressing a bare hook hangs roughly 90 degrees to the body on slow retrieves. Think a buck tail siwash hanging straight down looks natural? Dennis Zambrota, the world's number one expert on needlefish plugs, fishes them with bare treble tail hooks. ;-)
