				TAGGER STYLE NEEDLES
			 
 Finally finished out my copy of the tagger needle.  I want to thank Eddy for a great design and numbskull for posting the dimensions.  I have learned a great deal from others and wanted to thank them for their help.  |

"I checked with Eddy and he kindly allowed me to share the info on his needle. 
 
It is birch, a 7/8" dowel. 
6 3/8 long 
1.75 oz with 3/0 belly and 4/0 tail siwash 
.47 nose 
.52 tail 
straight taper nose to 1 3/4" back where the plug is .70 wide 
curve from 1.75 back to 2.5 back where the plug is .86 wide. 
Straight dowel at .86 from 2.5 to 3.5 back, then a slight concave taper to the tail which is .52" 
Hook and eyes are at 2 3/4" 
Two buck shot weights each side of the hook (3.5g each) one at 2 1/4" one at 3.5".  
Small tail weight (5.3 g).
 
It is weighted similar to the pink one in this picture he posted years ago, although the body shape is more like the smaller green one.
 
It sinks tail down and wakes along top with a slow retrieve. 
 
This is a really good design. Thank Eddy when it takes you a good fish. Please don't use this info for a commercial venture." |

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
 1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
 
 It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

				 | Danny, did you do a bead cut to form the needle's nose or did you just do a steep slope or a little of both? |
