As long as you fish them slow you can't go wrong. Don't make the mistake of thinking it should be worked like a pencil. A trick I learned from a sharpie- reel it very slowly- every 10 turns of the handle lower the tip while reeling- stop reeling for a couple seconds- gently pump the needle back to the surface with 1-2 pumps- resume reeling- WHAM!

Needle I have done best with- Salty's 2.5oz. in everybody's favorite color- Blurple (with glow in the dark eyes).
