if you ever get the chance to go offshore on a glass flat day and just drift along watching,nothing else, and see the 7-8" sandeel's on the surface just going for a sunday stroll...they float...then give alittle ~ to move abit an when that happens , their head hit's the surface and you get your v wake,,I call it the snake an wake move.

Thats a tough one to answer as i fish needles differently from lots of folks I guess.Of course there is the standard way of picking the right weight for the appropriate water an slow waking em on top.
Sometimes I just let em sink to the bottom an crawl em taking a LONG time to retrive the plug.Sandeels spend lots of time in the sand big fish like it down there also.I may just drag it on the bottom.an leave it there.The other reason i use em is to get em way out there to reach spots i might not be able to reach with a swimmer.If I am fishin a boulder field with lots of fishy spots in close with hangup style bottom I will go to the swimmer.So I can probe all the area's more thoughly that i might not be able to fish with the needle.They are both tools.u hold it an I'll hit it  It's like asking me to decide wether i like Ice cream or cake.
The answer is both of course. |

couple a thoughts.. the beauty of the needle is the many ways it can be retrieved, and weighted to perform as needed..some are lighter and fish like a stick bait, some v-wake up top, some can even walk the dog and pop, some suspend, which is great ... change up the retrieve, altho I prefer slow & low.. love that hit , when dragging the bottom, painfully slow.. pull the rod out of your hand, if ya ain't ready.. don't know why, but they hit harder when bottom draggin..
that's prolly why I love it.
beauty is, there is no wrong, or right way to fish them, or weight them.. each is use specific... one guy wants me to build him one nose heavy, no tail weight....I know right off what he wants it to do.....(think burrowing sand eel)

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.
