Slow to moderate sinkers.....sink at about a 30 deg angle....they don't sink as quickly as the plastic ones.

Sure, don't hear from you all winter but dangle some pluggage out there and out you come.

haven't fished needles much in the past, but this year I want to REALLY dig into them and figure them out. Stocking up as well as building a bunch to do just that. Gonna spend some quality time at lunch throwing them out front of the office and comparing sink rates and presention of the various kinds then apply what i've learned/noted to this coming season.
Went with darker colors because I primarily fish at night.....I can always spin up some more in lighter colors if needed. |
