Question for the Needlefish Guru's

[MAKAI]

I use them a lot, mostly near the top. I don't fish them super slow, in fact skipping them across the water like a spooked sand eel has given me a few 40# plus fish.

[l.i.fish.in.vt]

in the last 15 years i have caught more fish on needles than any other plug that i have fished. mainly because that is what i throw first,unless i am fishing inlets on LI.more often than not the way JLH describes fishing a needle is what works for me.i have quite a few sizes and weights that i use depending winds and were i am fishing.i think most people try to out think plugs,it is only a piece of wood.
