Taggers Spofford Knockoff Needlefish

Hey Tagger,
Those Spofford Needles you built have really been working well the last week - had a 30 lb class fish on one last night. When you turn again you should definitly make more.

Good work.

George,
He gave me a few of those last November on Block. He also showed me how effective they were in the creators hands. Eddy did very well with them out there in the "needlefish proving grounds".

You guys have fixed me up with so many needles I don't have enough room in the bag - a good problem to have.

Arnold Spofford

I met Mr. Spofford on the Vineyard and actually caught numerous large bluefish on his lures. He was a really nice person. He fished Lobsterville for albies and bones, by himself, most of the time years ago.

After seeing this post i had to retreat to my hot shop and turn a couple of this needle design and paint them with the fluoro green and yellow rattle cans.

I made these from some black cherry I have in my shop. Is this color best for night fishing or first light action?

Chris,
Nice job. Use that color pattern day or night - dark or bright.
Good luck.
