Douglas I tried making these needles as my first resin baits because I knew I would be able to make a mold fairly easy and be able to vary the weighting easily as well with the way I set the mold up. I was weighting them on the rod I removed for my through hole and could pretty much put a weight anywhere along the blank. I unlike many here only use a needle as a delivery system for a teaser. I only use them in the fall and in a heavy surf at times. I only need them to cast well and stay down. Using just resin and no microballoons they did that. I have never made a wooden needle that caught well. It along with a bunch of other plugs is something I've never had any success building or fishing with.
