I have alot of needles.Three or four large plano boxes.I mark the weights on em.It's the only way to tell what I have. I can pretty much tell where or when to thro em.Weight an size taken into consideration.I constantly fish new terrain.Lots of times for the first time in the dark.The good things about needles is u can jam a bunch of em in a slot in ur bag so I'll go armed with a few different weights an colors..Looks like i'm changing plugs alot but I'm really usin my needle feelers.....
In needles it's all about the weight and or sink rates.I love em they are as a whole the most versatile lure made.
Tagger would probably agree.
The NIB fish where for the most part easy to land.
Eddie we all have cryin story's.
Eben took me to a place an he goes "look thats cryin rock"

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

Eddy, I have noticed when I fish a skin that fish tend to hit more aggresively on a plug where the head exposed matches the same tone as the skin. Blue head on blue side out and black head or green on dark side out, Don't know why it would make such a difference but it seems to. Wierd I know.

Nice stuff though, got just the place to try 'em too.

Why even try.........

I'll flip the skin on the next one and paint up a blue head .. interresting . This ones going out tonight as is . I got the olive needle as back up . I wish I could match that skin blue perfectly .. great color .
