6.25" long and 1.5 Oz
size, stainless steel thru-wired this is a super needlefish!
3/8" molded holographic eyes and all kits are
sanded out to 150 grit and require minimal fine sanding.
Highly polished nickel plated marine brass tail will spin and flop
causing it to seductively flash and attract fish!
All
components are included except for split rings and hooks which we
recommend VMC 1/0 treble hooks for the belly hooks.
We use only USA made components in our kits!
Very simple retrieve on this lure, walk
it up top, or let it sink and fish the bottom. This lure has a moderate rate
sink.
This
needlefish is a good intermediate kit, it requires gluing in belly
weight and redrilling with a 5/32 drill bit after weight is installed-we
recommend a small battery drill
or a hand drill to do this cautiously,
then minor
sanding, sealing, and painting/finishing.
Can be painted with
Salty's Lure Paint, Createx Air brush
paints, or with acrylic paints and a small brush
from AC Moore,
let them dry thoroughly and coat with a few coats of
clear spray paint or brush with epoxy etc in thin coats for more
durability.
Lures need to be finish sealed to prevent water intrusion. More
information on our free lure forum linked above.
