There are a few needles that actually shine when fished at a quick pace, most notably the Super Strike. Needles are a versatile plug - those using them should also be versatile.

oh so confusing.. i have limited access to needles. the only one i have in my arsenal is a super strike i found in some rocks. and of course (as woody stated) habs' statement is ringing in my head every time i use it. "if you think your goin too slow, go slower." "if you arent bored fishing a needle, you're doing it wrong.".
but now yer telling me the one i have is best suited for fast retrieves. uggg! while we are here. could some one please try to explain the most sought after presentation. and NOT how to reel and twitch ect. but more of what i should be looking for it to do. i can figure out how to make it do it easier that way. than trying to count so many spins of the reel or time between twitches.
i've heard top water leaving wakes, slow drags on the bottom. dead straight in. with a slight wobble. and i'm sure they all have their own moments on certain days. but what is the standard? the results the get speak for themselves. so i would really love to figure these things out.
(sorry for the hijack. but its still about how needles work right?)
