when u go to weight the needle move the hook foward and put a shot in front a shot behind.
you can drill a hole in the arse and put a slug or 2 or 3 up till it is near the belly hole then slide nylon spacer or plastic tube and then wrap it off. u will get a needle that will ride perfect in the water. and the formulaH werks for all sizes and thick or thin. on a larger needle u can up the shot weights or double them. get your formula down®
and use trebles.
U can make them ride on top slow sink or fast sink.
thats the trick to it for the most part that and knowing when and how they want the needle to score, thats why i catch a ton of fish on these. an' love em.
a pefect needle that rides right will not go down butt heavy and if they do save them for fast nasty surf.
I have a few needles that suspend.
its in how they ride and a slight cork scew when they cast = nice weighting
As far as eye loop You can bend it horizontal and tune it a little .
