None of mine floated and they were all different sizes. The older Gibbs even sank - most Gibbs needles made currently now float.

Thanks for replying, guys.

I like the slim shape, but I find it's hard to balance that with sink rate, sink angle and casting weight.

Ron: I still owe you a plug; I'd like to make you a suspending needle over the winter (below) -- name your paint.
