I am looking to set up some large ledgerunners I have with a tandem hook set up. Does anyone know where I can pick up a large sewing needle like the offshore guys use to sew up dead baits? Looking for ideas.
Take a coat hangar and cut it to the length needle you want, pound one end flat on a workshop vise or something very solid, next on the flat end drill a hole into it for the size line you're tying with, last just sharpen the tip on a grinder.
You now have your needle!
Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
Or....if you are lazy you can buy a rigging needle at most saltwater tackle store. I know i bought one for rigging eels at Quaker Lane for about 4 bucks a couple of years ago.
