These new synthetic bait needles come in packs of 5.The molded design allows for perfectly radiused edges that dont nick or weaken rigging bands. The proprietary bead inside the head is designed to specifically retain the R&R rigging bands. The needle is also designed with friction pads for easy grip as well as slightly flattened sides that keeps the needle from rolling off work areas. A very sharp micro tip allows for an easy penetration of hard tissue when bridling baits. These needles are corrosion free and do not deteriorate in saltwater.
