Natural Needle, White needles , and 2 Canal Specials
I thought i was done but 2 weeks ago I was loading the wood bin at Sunapee and came across 3 nice dry yellow birch 5" diameter logs... I had to turn a few needles from these logs and put aside a bunch of blank stock for next winter... then I needed to make a couple of canal specials since i gave away 2 at plugfest...
I followed the KISS principle and painted everything pearl white with chin splash red except for one natural needle... this is the 1st time I tried the choopy shape for my needles... I have always been partial to the musso style... the fish will help me decide which i prefer for 1st light fishing in a few spots I fish...

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Nice work all tail weight? Nice job I was wondering about the flat sides in the front does it give a normally no action needle some attitude.

I rig them with a dressed siwash... they do have some undulating movement... the wt is actually just aft of the belly hook and then I back fill the hole with a dowel turned to fit the 1/4 hole...
