Stubby needles

Heres a few stubby needles I finished recently. They are 5 1/4 inches long, Maple, with weight behind the belly hook. They weigh about 1.5oz.

All the bellies are pearl white. Theres some pearl greens, pearl blues, a black and a wonderbread.

Flukin,
Do you get any action out of these stubbies, I've heard that some guys get them to swim. Mine just come in like a stick.

Yes! Nice stubby ones. And, you get an A-plus on the belly hook placement.... I've been noticing a tendency on the needles of late, to have the belly dead center, that's a no no in my book. (just my 2 cents) You got 'em just right... green ones blue ones, and that black one, all will kill... weight behind belly, got a little shot in the arse too ??
