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)

I like them both and I'm sure the fish will decide which one they want at the time.
I've seen sandeels doing the snake n wake

fish are starting to feed more and more, fall is coming soon

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.
