Here's a couple of needlefish I made. Nothing special exept for the material they're made from. I made them from an industrial plastic that should be impervious to rocks and even Bluefish. If bluefish do happen to scrape it a razor blade will remove any burrs and the black color is all the way through. Doesn't need to be sealed, will never get waterlogged and should have the same action and color from the first cast until you lose it. It weighs 2oz and is 7" long without the tail. They sink fairly quickly and are unweighted. I thought of a way to attach eyes but but don't think they're needed. I'm going to experiment with shapes to see what action I can come up with.   | ||

Very nice! Are you going to make a larger model? Do you need me to "fieldtest" them for you? Are you "marketing" (selling) those that you made? What else do you make? How do we see your product line? Captain Jason Colby www.littlesister1.com | ||

| I like the idea and would love to give those a try! Any way to make a floating model or to change the sink rate, that black color would be great for night / cloudy day fishing.

 . I'm just a hobbyist at this point but here are some other things I'm making. Most are copies of other peoples stuff I liked but it's hard not to feel like you're copying somebody else's work no matter what you make.Stubby Peanuts made from PVC. (float)  R.M. Smith inspired swimmers made from PVC. (float)  \ Close-up of scales. Large topwater made from PVC. Can be fished with both a walk the dog and wide side to side gliding retrieve.  Medium sized topwater made from PVC that the seagulls go nuts over. (floats)  Poppers made from wood. Have made these out of PVC also. (float)  | |||
