Half the problem with needles is that most people won't fish them long enough to get confident with them and then start experimenting with them. Needles just retreive them slow. You don't need action. Well same is true with all lure. They all will pull fish when retreived slow and without any action. BUT when you gain confidence with them you will catch more fish in a wider variety of conditions. they can walk an talk like a pencil or a spook and retreived right in nasty conditions they will also wiggle.The key with them is to use the one that is best for the terain and current where you are fishing. Also don't forget to try matching the hatch ie size and color of the predominant bait in the area. just some ides. Happy New Years all. Ron
Yea man, you're right. I'm not confident enough with needles to use them long enough to develop that confidence.... I guess I should fix that.

I started fishing needles back in maybe 90. It was all Super Strikes back them. Met Habs at Fresh Pond Rocks one stormy September night and fished some of his prototypes. I was never the same again. We smoked big fish on purple needles that sank and hooked fish on almost every cast.

I like needles more than a junkie.
Been my go to lure for years and years, fast , slow , lots of action or next to none it all works at one time or another.
