Needle ripoff

Top two are Salty's reject bodies. Dark is 2.75 oz, white 3 oz. The bottom is a loose knockoff of the beachmaster BI needle, 3.5oz. The originals have been fishing well for me this year.

Nice work NS. The top one has a beautiful finish, almost like you stained it.

Nice work! I gave my friend a needle painted pretty much the same colors as the bottom one and it's been killer this year(at least here in Jersey). The funny thing is that once the bucktail was gone, it stopped working for him until I re-tied it.

Karl iffin that works can we get them to bottle that scent? We'll give them half of the profits and we can branch out the product line by changing the name and also selling it as a feminine aphrodisiac in P-Town at one of those just fer women shops ( they sell "ahem" toys there too). Nothing like cottage industry to help pay the bills while living on cape. ( if we don't someone else will, I bet Capesams is already scheming with them)

Why even try.........
