Those darters look great DJ. Curious on the needles. Must be a weight difference on the line to maple. Are the pines floating ?? What’s the weights.

All of those needles sink, the pine are about 1.75 oz the soft maple ones are about 2.

I got the last of what I had been working on finished this week. More needles in a different style, some in Pine and some in maple. The slimmer yellow one is pine and 1.75, the larger ones are 2.5 for maple and 2.0 for the pine.
