never mind.. now i have no needles..
went out tossed a couple plugs in the rocks.. nothing on top of nothing.. so ok.. winds in my face. needle will sail on out there, and well i need to practice. tried all the above with twitches and what not variable speeds. nothin. but i noticed i could reach over the rocks into a bit deeper sandy bottom.. so lets see what happens when i drag it through the sand kickin up a sand trail.. 3 cranks into my second attempt with that. the unmistakable double tugg of a fish that couldnt commit. so now im excited! next cast, great im stuck on the edge of the rocks.. boink. knot of the leader gives. (i tried a new type i just learned ) and now the needle is back in the EXACT same spot i found it. (give or take 50ft)
guess ill actually hafta buy a few now that i figured out a use for them.

and my buddy has that midnight special salty. i think i like it more than he does.. i think i tried trading the swimmer of the same paint type with him right after we bought them.

Which needles are considered sub surface similar to Gibb's needlefish.
Last night I was using swimmers with success catching schoolies unfortunately but then I decided to switch over to Superstrike needlefish. This area appears to be on the shallow calm side.
It didn't take many cast to realize that I needed to retrieve fast to not snag the bottom. I realize they are fast sinkers therefore I like to ask what are the top slowest sinking needlefish similar to the Gibbs. I don't really want to upgrade this Gibbs if there are better plugs.
I already have Habs & #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&s that I'll use the deeper rough water.

as i was shoppin around on swe for some new needles about an hour ago, i noticed R.M. Smith has a line of floating needles. but i dunno what the odds of getting yer hands on one are. (at least for a reasonable price)
