stubby needles

Have a bunch of stubby blanks sitting around, figured I would try something new with them, adding flaptails. They come in around 5" and 1.6oz, sink taildown

put a french blade on the end a size 4
reason, levels the plug out
attracts fish and also has a nice feel to it for a controlled retrieve
