A few of many

5" needles 1.5oz.
7.5" 40 swimmers 3 oz.
8" wide body needles 3.5oz.
Swam the protos before the storm. little needles waddle just below or at the surface. 40's do their usual. Biggie needles come in below surface. Let it sink and it rides a couple feet below the surface. Rides close to surface if you engage reel as soon as it touches down.

Thanks. I was home a few weeks recovering from surgery. As you can see I was bored. It seems I couldn't stop turning those 5" needles. 18 in all. 8 biggie needles and my first A-40's.
