Think what you will but most of the needlefish in my bag are Gags. The earlier models with a slightly stubby nose have produced very well for me over the years, this year especially.
For the areas mostlyI fish they fit the bill nicely, I do carry an extensive assortment of others in my truck at all times though and for the outer Cape, at the tide I favor, Gibbs standard seven inch work very well. I will tell you this year white and yellow have been the top producers new moon or full.
Often times a quick snap of the rod tip during that oh so slow retrieve will get a following fish to take when you know fish are there but won't commit.
My personal favorite needle presentation is cutting a small vee wake across the surface.
I am a needle addict. Once you figured out the routine, it's just amazing how productive they can be.
