Quick take
Stainless steel needles with open eyes for threading leader through live or dead bait on minnow rigs.
Pick this 4-inch baiting needle when you want a shorter tool for threading minnow rigs. The pack of four has an open eye that takes mono, braided or solid wire leader through a live bait, a dead bait or a plastic. Its stainless steel build suits freshwater and saltwater trips alike.
Best for
