Nice! Now wait until you get your first fish on them! Then you'll really be "hooked"!!!

My goal in life is to be the kind of man my dog thinks I am.

those njt needles are good fish catchers. I was making them for a while but the only problem is the nose on them is too thin. Makes em weak. Nice stuff!

Nice work Reelecstacy. Good colors.
If you do break the nose off that needlefish, i want to see a picture of the bass that did it, cause it should be a 50#+ slob. We have not had a single email or notification of even a single failure, and Ive made quite a few of them. Not saying it could never happen.
I like that blue needlefish a lot.


booger, see me in my office.

I liked the shape alot, so I eye balled a few. I wanted to say thanx to alot of you for gettin me hooked. I can't wait to hookup on one of my own turned plugs..The pix don't do them justice IMHO..they came out pretty sweet considering they were my firsts, thaks JohnR for a great search feature
Thnx for all the tips guyz....I gotta get turnin more wood, the 40+ bucktails and the 50+ teaser rigs I tied at my desk need something to hang on to..

Used hard and put away dirty....

Those look great! I'm trying to finish up my first as well. I dont know about you but finishing these things feels like it takes forever. Its like construction... the rough work flies, its the finish work that takes forever.

Thumbs up

Beautiful needlefish - did you recess the grommet on the center hook? You should slam them with those. Congradulations on your first !!!
