Okay guys, I've really only started to fish with Needlefish this past season ... had a few before that, played around with them but didn't really get into to them until this year ...
... this past October, some of you may remember the night, it was super cold and there was a meteor shower, stars shooting every which way ...
... a guy I was fishing with had a blurple needle with a Siwash and bucktail off the back ... I had an assortment of black needles by other builders than the one he was using but all with straight treble ... eventually he gave me a new one of the style he was throwing without the bucktail, just a straight treble and I still couldn't do much, except snag one (small) in the chin.
Our retrieves were exactly the same, but again, I got one dink and he scored about a half dozen above the keeper size, nothing huge but several between 10-12 pounds and one in the low 20 class, while I got nill. We even discussed retrieves, compared casts and what we were doing the same and differently, pretty much all the same ...
That said, do you believe the bucktail made the significant difference? Or does this guy just have a horshoe hidden as he is pretty much out there every night and was in the groove? I was a bit discontent, but that's fishing.
Thoughts?
