Charter Grade Stubby Needle: 5" 2oz

$23.95
The Perfect Needlefish is the most subtle hardbait in the Hogy system. Where poppers shout, walkers whisper, and swimmers wobble, the Needlefish barely moves at all. A slow, predictable glide with just enough tail shimmy to look alive. That restraint is the entire point. When fish are pressured, spooked, feeding on slender bait in dead-calm water, or hunting by feel at night, the Needlefish is the plug that matches their mood.- It shares the same internal ballast system as the Surface Eraser — belly always down, turns flat on the cast, precision balance from nose to tail. Two sizes cover every sand eel and spearing scenario from estuaries to the open surf.
