5/8 oz. Needlefish
The 5/8 oz. needlefish was designed to be a spearing imitator for the New Jersey summer surf when the fish are looking for spearing in shallow water. However it has proven itself in all types of water from the surf to back waters. It is a slow sinker but can be fished throughout the water column. When crawled on the surface or in the back of the wave, it is almost horizontal in the water, which is very important in when imitating spearing and sand eels.

1 1/2 oz. Needlefish
The 1 1/2 oz. needlefish was designed to add a bit of action to the normal needlefish. It is meant for calm to moderate surf and rests almost horizontally in the water. When crawled on the surface or in the back of the wave, the shaped head will make them slightly swing from side to side giving the lure an action the fish just love when a typical needlefish won't induce a strike.

2 oz Needlefish
The 2 oz. needlefish was designed to handle some faster currents and more moderate surf, and to match baits like large sand eels and herring. It sits at about 15 degrees in the water. When crawled throughout the water column the shaped head will make them slightly swing from side to side giving the lure an action the fish just love when a typical needlefish won't induce a strike.

1 oz Stubby Needlefish
