couple a thoughts.. the beauty of the needle is the many ways it can be retrieved, and weighted to perform as needed..some are lighter and fish like a stick bait, some v-wake up top, some can even walk the dog and pop, some suspend, which is great ... change up the retrieve, altho I prefer slow & low.. love that hit , when dragging the bottom, painfully slow.. pull the rod out of your hand, if ya ain't ready.. don't know why, but they hit harder when bottom draggin..
that's prolly why I love it.
beauty is, there is no wrong, or right way to fish them, or weight them.. each is use specific... one guy wants me to build him one nose heavy, no tail weight....I know right off what he wants it to do.....(think burrowing sand eel)
