Here are a couple more of the stubby needles overall lenght withou hooks is 6.5" and I used bubble infused acrylic for these just to add some interest! Let me know what you think. They are molded eyes and through wired with VMC hooks and Worth 4H split's and Spro' swivels.

Mr. Montauk, It was a lot of buffing and sanding to get them like that. I came up with the design myself after a bunch of tires to get something that looked and swam good. But it has to be worked. Can\t let it sit because it's dense material and it does sink.
