Quick take
Three chrome-plated rigging needles with slotted edges for threading live or cut bait onto hooks and for tying rigs.
This three-pack of South Bend BN-2 rigging needles is a small bit of tackle-bag kit for threading line and rigging bait. Each needle is about 2.5 inches long with a chrome-plated finish and a slotted edge. The pack weighs only a few hundredths of a pound, so it tucks into a pocket or tackle tray without notice.
Best for
- Rigging herring or mullet on circle hooks for catfish
- Pulling line through live eels for eel rigs
- General-purpose tool kit for bait anglers
Skip if
- You fish only soft plastics
- You use pre-rigged bait packages
Strengths
- Slotted edge grabs line and threading easily
- Chrome plating resists rust in saltwater
- Compact size fits in any tackle bag
Trade-offs
- The pack of three means you have backups, but limited use variety
- Chrome plating can chip with rough handling
- Needles are sharp and require careful storage
