Rocky Point Needle
My 52 years of needle experiece yeilds this very slow sink needle . This needle is very retrieve sensitive . On a faster than slow retrieve it will surface making a wake. I vary retrieve and even pause, letting it slowly go down sometimes just touching the bottom .. The trick is weighting it so it sinks slightly nose up like 10 degrees.. I'll loose this tonight probably .. They hate it .. This is the good side .. eye is broken on the other ..

A trusted warrior, going to a noble death. Hope I find it!
On a more serious note, does it swim or is that unneccessary? The shorties I built don't swim, at least as well as the longer needles I own. The one that is most balanced (i.e., the least tail heavy) will zig zag and glide a little if I work it with short jerks. The others just come to the top and leave a wake, maybe the feathers sway a little. Not what I was hoping for. Much to learn.

George .. This comes in like a stick .. no wiggle,, no wobble.. I'm able to vary depth if I have an idea on the bottom .. I'm going down and getting right in there face with it . Cut all my good needles in half last year to see how I made them .. LOL ,, I'm knocking off myself . |
