Doc,
Takes on needles can vary depending on many circumstances. They can vary depending on whether you’re using braid or mono or whether your line is tight or has a belly. I’ve found that when the prevalent baitfish is sand eels the takes can be very subtle. When forage is larger bait the takes tend to be more aggressive. A good friend of mine was using a Gibbs needlefish and thought he was hung up in bubble weed – the bubble weed started to pull back and a short time later he landed a 49 lb bass. He never felt anything but slight pressure as that bass slurped down that wooden sand eel as gracefully as a trout sipping a midge. Expect all sorts of takes on needlefish.
