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.
All
components are included except for split rings and hooks which we
recommend VMC 2/0 treble hook for the belly
and a 3/0 dressed treble or
5/0 Dressed Siwash on the tail of this lure.
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 medium rate
sink.
This needlefish is a good
intermediate kit, it requires gluing in belly weights 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.
We carry a full line of epoxy topcoats, hooks, paint, etc here:
