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)
