Favorite Needle for what?


Tell me the tide/ depth/ current/ wind direction & speed, bottom structure/ stickiness (or not)... bait present, etc., etc., & I'll choose my favorite Needle for THAT situation! (I fish 10 makes & more sizes/ styles frequently!


There are nights a 2 oz. Habs will sink like a stone to bottom & get stuck... & there are nights it will be tossed about ineffective... then the 3.5 or "Night- N- Gale" needed!


My "emotionally" favorite Needle? Just which make me happiest when I acquire? BM all three sizes/ styles, Parrot esp.... & Blurple Habs!

Amen George, that thin stubby Charlie gave to me has quite a few battle scars now!

But why?

Not to sound like a two year old, but why are these your favorites? Or better yet per LeCounts, why which one when (conditions, where in the water column...etc.)?

Oh and, Marc Z comes out of nowhere and posts! High Z! How was weakie fishing this spring? Seemed kind of quiet, but I was tied up coaching boys lacrosse and did not participate.

Hab's fat stubby has saved me from more than one skunking. If I ever lose' em I will I got two and fish them hard. Name escapes me though - 3 oz I think with belly hook.
