These all suspend (actually sink extremely slowly).
The first two walk/dart due to the shoulders & lead placement.
Specs' from top to bottom:
- 8.25", 3.1 oz, hard maple
- 6.5", 1.7 oz, hard maple
- 6", .65 oz, hard maple
The one in the middle is already gone -- it was gouged to hell and I finally lost it to a good fish the other night. This is the first needle I've built that I could swim exactly like a tandem-rigged Slug-Go.
The sand eel needle only casts a hair further than a rigged Slug-Go, but has come in handy on finicky fish.
