I purchased some of Salty's needles recently and I have a question. They don't feel has heavy in weight as the Super strike or Habs needles, would you say that Salty's needles are floaters or mid depth needles ?
I would try putting them in saltwater and find out for yourself. If they float....they are floaters. If they suspend...then they are mid-depth or suspending needles.
Salty makes a sweet needlefish......mine work the top of the water column.....suspending more or less.
Salty makes 3 (I think) sizes, or weights of needles... what one do you have? The one ounce, and ounce and a half will float or suspend with the right retrieve, or lack of retrieve
The two and a half ounce is more of a surf type sinking needle, fish it sloooowww and it will crawl, ripp it, it will come up.
Bluefish....you ain't never seen a Salty needlefish??? Go to his website at #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&.com....he is a sponsor of this site! Sweet needles!
1 oz are floaters and are pisser on top-catch when others can't....
1.5 oz are slooooooow sinkers/almost neutral buoyancy/slightly tail heavy
2.5 oz are slow sinkers/slightly tail heavy. work on top or dredge em up from the bottom. jerk you rod tip once in a while to pop them out on top or you can put a walking dog action on them also.
Salty needles ?
If they float....they are floaters. If they suspend...then they are mid-depth or suspending needles.
