Floating Needles- Inspired by Bassmaster

[go4broke44]

looks like me and you think alike woody! I made a bunch of floating needles around 8", similar shape, also inspired by the bassmaster.

I made most of mine just about level float though, for fishing reallllllll slowwwwww. That way they stay flat when paused, and give a nice little "dart" action with a little jerk of the rod. Nice V-wake as well.

for weighting I put a 3/8" x 1/2" deep just in front of the belly hook, and cut one of those 3/8" x 1" tailweights in half, so I'd assume about 1/4 oz fore and aft.

I would rather have a floating needle anyday as opposed to a sinker though some nights you need one a floater is always my first choice.

Nice work, keep em coming!
