Jointed Needles

[Clogston29]

i'm not a beleiver in jointed needles at all. i think at their best, they'll equal a non-jointed equivalent when it comes to catching fish, and in more cases will not preform as well due to limited casting properties. sure, they'll be a very significant catch here and there, but who's to say that that fish wouldn't have hit a straight needle at the same time.

they're a great idea for plugs builders though, take a design you already have, add a cut and watch people go crazy over them. jointeds are very "in" right now and it seams that alot of people just want to be in on the fad.

About 4 years ago. 9/21 WH pocket. 6" Black jointed bomber. 8 to 10' waves. 36# bass 15 # blue. About 6 other bass in the 15 to 20# range. I still have about 1/2 dozen that I bought right after that. The
6" is tough to find lately.

Yes for joints on swimmers..don't feel they add anything on a needle.

Jointed plugs do make for a fun "build"
